Who's gonna take the new ball with Anderson? Tremlett or Ryan?

@Nnanden: once they get the covers off which was supposed to be now.
You only made that post so you could try out Broad's new nickname.

I imagine it'll be Broad though. The England management have always seen him as an opening bowler.

:ph34r: Your fault anyway!

I'd think so too but a bit harsh on Tremlett who is probably a better new ball bowler than Broad ATS

At this point I'll take 1/2 of cricket to no cricket. Should be a fascinating 40 or so overs if the weather holds up
Surely it can't take that long to get the water off the covers and all that though? Reminds me of a farcical match down here vs. SA, I think, where it took a stupidly long time for the players to get on after a rain delay.

Who knows with these administrators. I just read this. Tea break at 4:40pm ffs..

2.50pm We've just heard that start of play has been rescheduled for 3.30pm, with 48 overs to be bowled today, tea to be taken at 4.40pm. Optimistic, perhaps, but there you are.

I was at the ground that day. So annoying.

Looks a road, tbh.

EDIT: Or maybe it's just Broad. Leg side dross and half volleys and two good ones.

Yeah that comment was based mostly off that off-drive which didn't look quite like a half volley.
