Refreshed the page and it came up, my mistake

PK got Trott
Got got got!

Though I'm sad because he doesn't bowl as fast as Goughy or Shaun Tait

 

[Stapel]

Thought that was missing leg.
Ohh just clipping leg.

Yeah, good decision. I wouldn't have given it.

Would be more upset about 1/59 and the fact he went wicketless in conditions tailor made for him.

 

[weldone]

...can smell a relatively long partnership now...

 

[Cevno]

Have mentioned it before to TROTT for sure has a slight weakness against the bowls coming in to him. Lakmal got him playing around the ball last series too.He may hit those balls for fours too,but it is something bowlers would learn to persist with.

 

[hang on]

Love watching bell bat when he is at the top of his game.

 

[Furball]

Yeah, good decision. I wouldn't have given it.

I wouldn't give them any lbws.

Since they don't trust the predictive element, they can't claim I've made a bad decision.

I think it should be used more as a surprise tactic. Someone like McGrath would have done it perfectly.

Conditions tailor made for him will have more carry and he was a bit unlucky yesterday.

[Uppercut]

Trott was a prime lbw candidate earlier in his career. He'll still miss one occasionally but he scores a lot of runs there too.

 

[Rush]

Not sure how Bell will fare against us. Our record against him is good (he avg's 24) but of late he's been a different batsman and lest we forget he smacked around Sri Lanka at an average of 331 and strike rate of 70

 

[Spark]

Getting genuine nicks between, over and past slip fields = bad luck
Not finding the edge ever but beating it often = not bad luck.

not bad = good, therefore, Not finding the edge ever but beating it often = good luck?

 

[Spark]

Er, no. It means that you're bowling too short, not bowling without any luck.

 

[Spark]

Interesting shot to play on 3.

 

[Rush]

Er, no. It means that you're bowling too short, not bowling without any luck.

Sorry was trying to make a (not very funny) joke

Should try this, one of the best shots in test cricket ever. Go to 11.50.
