Some things you just don't joke about.

I'm sorry, I take it back. Saj since has done his best to ensure that never happens.

 

[Cabinet96]

I've seen one ball from Saj, and it was that full toss just there. Scary to think he was playing in the last Ashes series we've lost.

 

[Spark]

impressed at how many full tosses i've seen in the three overs i've watched

 

[Cabinet96]

Must be so daunting for the young leggie. First ball he bowls to KP is perfectly fine, and still goes for four.

Oh, nearly caught and bowled the next ball. Going to be a good battle this.

 

[Spark]

well that one was a bit easier

 

[grecian]

I liked the celebration from the young man. Getting KP out on live TV, no big deal.

Gets Bell now, good catch.

 

[Spark]

that's some snare

 

[BoyBrumby]

Gives it a decent rip, the young fella. Very Warnesque action with the way his right foot is ****ed upwards on delivery.

Nice drift into the right hander too.

Always get a little moist when I see an English leggie with something about him.

 

[Cooky Monster]

That trend of everyone getting starts and getting out hopefully will stop come the first test.

 

[grecian]

WTF Bairstow, should also never play for England again.

 

[Cabinet96]

That trend of everyone getting starts and getting out hopefully will stop come the first test.

Wouldn't bet big money on it. It's been happening for nearly two years now.

All this innings has proven so far is Ravi 4 England Captain.

All this innings has proven so far is Ravi 4 England Captain.

I think we already knew that.

Should be an interesting little innings from Swann, they generally are.

 

[wpdavid]

The presence of Onions in this match might yet make selection interesting if he clearly out-bowls Finn.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Bit of a meh day really. Have to say that Essex do have two young players to keep an eye on, about the only thing to take from the day really.

 

[Daemon]

English lower order at it again

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Bresnan bowls anything like then this knock might get him the nod.

Bresnan bowls anything like then this knock might get him the nod.

Especially if Broad isn't 100% fit. I tend to see it as Broad vs Bres and Finn vs Onions. Although Bres could conceivably play ahead of Finn & Onions, whereas Onions couldn't play ahead of Broad and Bres.

 

[Cabinet96]

I think Broad will be fine. They said if this was a test match he would've played, and it was nothing but a precaution.

 

[grecian]

Decent innings from Swann, but he started playing sensibly after awhile, which was no fun.
