hmm, Wickets are falling, but proper batsmen keep coming in....

 

[King Pietersen]

Bresnan, a proper batsman? Optimistic to say the least.

Eugh. It was looking so good for a while. 270 looking difficult now. Relying on Bopara to fire is worrying.

 

[MW1304]

**** you Jos, start living up to your potential plz

 

[Days of Grace]

Trott's fault for accelerating the scoring too early.

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah, terrible decision.

Cook's review always looked forlorn too; I thought impact was gonna be ump's call at the very best.

Jos goes as I type. Feck. Can Bres and Ravi do it again?

Whenever you review an lbw and it doesn't even come back umpire's call, then it's officially a terrible review. Cook's would've been overturned in favour of the bowler if given not out, and you absolutely cannot look back and justify reviewing those.

 

[Furball]

Hit the thing Ravi.

 

[Howe_zat]

I'm upset.

 

[Prince EWS]

I'm upset.

It's okay Howe. I bet on England.

 

[MW1304]

This is the danger of our tactics, bugger up the last 10 overs bit and you're left below par.

 

[Cabinet96]

It's okay Howe. I bet on England.

I presume he's talking about having to watch Bopara bat, not England losing momentum.

 

[Cabinet96]

This is the danger of our tactics, bugger up the last 10 overs bit and you're left below par.

Meh, rather loses three wickets without adding a run on 249 with four overs to go, than lose those wickets early.

 

[MW1304]

Please send Swann in, this is abysmal batting at the death. An over of length and **** all runs.

Nah Broad...

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Ohh, ffs Jos, this is happening too often.

I did say. Hope he proves me wrong long term but I don't think he will.

 

[Howe_zat]

Broad over Swann at this stage is silly.

 

[grecian]

This is the danger of our tactics, bugger up the last 10 overs bit and you're left below par.

Surely if you bugger up the last 10, you're always going to have a below-par score, unless you are India.

 

[Spikey]

I presume he's talking about having to watch Bopara bat, not England losing momentum.

i assumed he was upset because a bunch of people are ready to make posts criticising the english batting plan























trott might be better at finishing an innings than butler and morgan are

 

[Cabinet96]

Last 15 balls: 5 for 4

 

[Spark]

Broad vs Malinga yorkers. Could be interesting (and brief)

 

[grecian]

I did say. Hope he proves me wrong long term but I don't think he will.

You say what you like mate, but slagging him off after a few innings is just as knee-jerk as slating him as the next big thing. He needs a run in the side, at least a dozen, before we decide owt, he's a big enough talent for that. Not like there's not plenty of time to the next WC.

 

[Furball]

That's the worst throw I've ever seen.
