Who's the chavvier? Dernbach or Johnson?

John Terry is always the answer

It would be the change of innings by now if they'd held on.

Na it's more than just an inability to find the gaps, it's a definite game plan too. I haven't seen much of Bailey though so I don't know if it's something he does regularly, but Forrest is definately another one who favours that approach.

Nah don't buy it. You look at Clarke and Hussey batting in the situation and they're getting 4-5 an over in singles and twos easily. It's just inability, hard hands.

You get the feeling the England players just don't like Dirtbag, could have ended up with decent figures here.

This

Hussey just angles the ball into gaps in the infield

Most of Watto's defensive shots would make it most of the way to the boundary

 

[Burgey]

Dat shot

 

[Spark]

Geez that sounded good off the bat.

John Terry is always the answer

He's more of yer old school ****ernee racist, tbh. "Gawd bless the Queen Mum. Yer knew yer were safe when Ronnie & Reggie were abaht. Seen 'em back on the farhking banana boat", etc.

 

[uvelocity]

nice bing, carn the 6 over extra cover

 

[Top_Cat]

Nice off the bat that one. *shlCHOCK*, zack.

 

[grecian]

Oh and Finn isn't going to bowl his 10 either, quite odd.

Question for you Aussies, seems a lot of messages on cricinfo saying Wade is wasted at 7 and should be higher up. Not seen enough of him myself so can't really comment but is that the way Australia should go with him? Maybe put him at 3.

 

[uvelocity]

falcon!

 

[Burgey]

Middling sort of total. Something to bowl to. Pitch might suit Watson's pace.

 

[uvelocity]

weak total, but enough if we bowl well enough.

see you in the morning ****s

A few of Eng's players have been pretty ordinary this innings and tbf we need all the help we can get

 

[Ruckus]

ahh I dunno might be pretty difficult to defend this. surely under par.

Be tempted to bat him there or at 5. Hard to say where he will bat long term with Mussey to come back and a few other blokes there or there abouts. Maybe he could open and they could move Watson down.

260 par IMO. Defendable but not brilliant.

 

[grecian]

Feel a bit sorry for dirtbag there really, still think Bops bowling shows we can easily put in a Patel/Wright/Trego/Stokes/Allenby/Woakes et cetera et cetera.

25 runs too short IMHO.
