Okay, are NZ's attack better than Pakistan's? Is Lord's easier to bat on, on a cloudy English day, than Ahmedabad on a hot Indian day?

As for the spot fixing, if you want to say it affected the result then thats your opinion, but its not mine. No way were they trying to lose the match having had us 100-7.

Jonathan Trott's innings in that match was something else. Such a shame that the spot-fixing will completely overcloud it.

I never said Broad hadn't made runs before that, nor did I say that it wasn't an important innings. Heck, I didn't even say that Harbhajan overall was a better batsman that Stuart Broad. I only said it might have to be taken with a grain of salt - it is a bit easier to score runs when the other team is trying to lose. If you want to get your knickers in a twist over it - great, I couldn't care less. I can see you are itching to incite an argument, try someone else.

You made a point of saying it wasn't the first time Bhaji had scored runs, implying that it was for Broad.
Don't even know why I'm having this discussion though if you're going to make play the spot fixing = trying to lose card though.

Whatever, carry on posting **** and crying when people disagree with you. It's a good look, suits you.

Broad's century was fantastic, but it might have to be taken with a grain of salt. As for Harbhajan Singh's centuries - while they were scored on flat pitches, they were quite important ones. The first one was a match-saving one, and the second helped India secure a lead. It wasn't the first time he scored some runs either; he scored some very useful runs with Zaheer Khan in a test match in Banglaore in 2008 - it went some way in saving the test for India as India were in a precarious position. He also scored a couple of fifties in Australia.

This guy mentioned his other knocks, is this not what you were referring to?

Haha true..

Aren't you supposed to claim that as Hussey and Siddle's brilliance though? I mean it was still brilliant.
Click to expand...
No, no, and no. Hussey was dropped 4 times, the field Yousuf set was moronic, and to persist with it for so long was even more moronic. All jokes about match fixing aside. Sure Siddle was handy, but it was more like stopping on the finish line and letting the next guy through really. Credit though to Hauritz bowling on the last day admittedly.

Hard work on day one to be fair, the ball is a bit greasy too. He's certainly not bowling poorly, but not threatening at all. Some drift and drop would be nice.

Yeah he's not been bad, but there's no need to bowl him right now after tea.

Zaheer has had plenty of a rest, as has Sree. And Ishant is bowling well on the other end. Test them from both ends!

Ishant has Kallis in a few tangles, it's still seaming a lot. I don't think it's reversing at this stage, not in these conditions.
