Forecast is apparently dodgy for tomorrow, so they are probably just going to red-ink instead of trying to set a target.
In the tea break the wicket map, they showed, there wasn't one.How many balls have the seamers bowled that would have hit the stumps?
Memo to Stuart Law: sign a fielding coach.
Forecast for tomorrow is hideous. It's the first day of the Oxfordshire district cricket festival and this will be the fourth time in five years it's been a total washout. This means 35 phone calls at 8:30am tomorrow.Forecast is apparently dodgy for tomorrow, so they are probably just going to red-ink instead of trying to set a target.
To be fair, this is about a third morning pitch now in terms of overs bowled, and things are starting to happen - Herath is getting some decent turn and there is movement around - but the weather has been the biggest factor in the general lack of interest.TheseEnglishWelsh roads, always producing dull Test cricket, compared to the exciting subcontinent wickets....
It has started to play up a bit but on the whole its slowness has been a touch annoying. Not the best sort of pitch for Test cricket.To be fair, this is about a third morning pitch now in terms of overs bowled, and things are starting to happen - Herath is getting some decent turn and there is movement around - but the weather has been the biggest factor in the general lack of interest.
Won't argue. Keep Test cricket out of Wales, IMO.It has started to play up a bit but on the whole its slowness has been a touch annoying. Not the best sort of pitch for Test cricket.
Nath can go to sleep now.Finally.
Yeah, but carefully too.Hmm... they're going for it now I think
Steady on now, he's only just started using his fifth bowlerGive Samaraweera a bowl.
Yeah. Very useful offie, should bowl more.Give Samaraweera a bowl.
He's given it away completely, partly due to injury and partly due to cba I think. There was a Test a few years ago in which they used nine bowlers and he wasn't one of them. He's bowled a little bit in one day cricket recently though - he might've started practicing it again to make himself more selectable for the World Cup.Yeah. Very useful offie, should bowl more.
Samaraweera is the fourth best bowler in the side though.Steady on now, he's only just started using his fifth bowler
