England must be in strife. Nasser calling for going back2basix aka "I want them to do something to be less crap but I can't think what."

This game has gone, we won't get over 250 batting last.

Bowling today has been abysmal.

 

[Riggins]

Wonderful batting but wtf are England doing

yeah no joke. if this was the pakis there'd be loud calls of matchfixing.

Pretty obvious what he wants, isn't it? Orthodox fields, normal bowling. Not rocket science.

Mathews is deadset the biggest troll if he's playing against your team. You get the ****s five down and you think you're amongst them but this **** has a habit of scoring 50 every time he picks up a cricket bat looking invincible until he throws it away.

It's some batsman who has an average of 48 and doesn't look to be matching his talent at all

He could have just said that. I've always interpreted back to basics as trash media/talkback style guff to sound knowledgeable without committing to anything, because 95% of the time that's what it is.

A ton here would mean one two test series has almost doubled his career tons.

edit: actually it would mean he's doubled his career tons

Heh, was just about to make the "should be looked into" post. Seriously just inexplicably bad bowling. Leg side half volleys with 2 men on the leg side... Just unforgivable.

I swear he did lay out exactly what he wanted there...

Its crazy as well that Plunkett comes on, looks pretty threatening to start the over and then obviously goes the team plan to try and finish the over against Matthews and bowls ****ing ****.

It's 1am so it might have just flown in one ear and out the other.

A biggest troll in world cricket poll would be pretty good. Reckon Smithy is leading him though.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Brilliant ton, yes had some luck but he deserves it.

 

[Flem274*]

well played you epic troll you

 

[Spikey]

what a little sri lankan he is

 

[Riggins]

What the **** is that field setting with a bloke on 99? **** me.

 

[Maximas]

Oh man, what a knock, if we win he can take full credit.

This has been a pleasantly poor performance from England, but gutsy batting

 

[OverratedSanity]

Awww, would've liked it if he'd refused a single and got the hundreds later in the over, but whatever. Top knock.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Well played Mathews. This has been absolutely disgraceful bowling since well before lunch.
