Yeah, Foxtel.

'snot raining here. It doesn't look like it's raining in Manuka...

might head down later when we bat, that's mostly what i'm interested in

edit: oh we're batting now. oops.

 

[Furball]

Woakes basically bowling fast leg breaks first up. Interesting decision to bat first.

 

[Spark]

Woah. Being a bit wayward here.

 

[Jacknife]

Good first 4 balls,then lost it, must be a bag of nerves though so I'll let him off.

 

[Nate]

Unsure why we've elected to bat first. Lee/Pattinson/Copeland would've been gun in these conditions imo.

 

[Jacknife]

Big inswing from Shahzad.

 

[Furball]

Stupid metric system, have no idea how fast our boys are bowling.

Shazad bowling some lovely stuff first up. Really hope he impresses in this leg of the tour, we could do with a 3rd quick for ODIs.

 

[Spark]

What would England's attack be for the ODIs? I must admit I have no idea sans Broad/Anderson

 

[Nate]

Shahzad is such a jerk.

 

[Jacknife]

Good shout that.

Add Swann. Bresnan's played loads of ODIs lately.

Genuinely have no idea, but Anderson and Broad are basically our only 2 ODI standard quicks.

 

[Spark]

Haha that's basically it. I don't know what your frontline seam attack will be beyond Bresnan.

love watching paine bat. a nice pick-me-up if he makes a decent score here.

we're going nicely here.

 

[Pothas]

Add Swann. Bresnan's played loads of ODIs lately.

Genuinely have no idea, but Anderson and Broad are basically our only 2 ODI standard quicks.

Shazhad and Tremlett I would imagine, expect a lot of rotation through the series.

 

[Jacknife]

I get the impression that these 2 are trying a little bit too hard.

 

[Spark]

Been a few wides...

 

[Jacknife]

Been a few wides...

Not surprising really, they won't have bowled in a couple of months for Shahzad and god knows for Woakes.

 

[Spark]

Missed a couple of legside half-volleys here. Annoying.

good stuff from paine

 

[TumTum]

Missed a couple of legside half-volleys here. Annoying.

So which Paine is batting? The fluky stroke-player or the one trying too hard and getting tied down?

Edit: nvm
