Wow

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Lol

 

[Starfighter]

That's a nice grab. That ball deserved to be punished too.

 

[Spark]

Good captain's knock, eh. Hit the ball on the ground next time

 

[kevinw]

He might be unlucky but Pope is the heart of the problems in this team.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Idiot. So 4-2 then

Absolutely but we really need to bring back the stigma against getting caught hitting the ball at catchable height through the ring. Worst dismissals.

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

England combining the absolute best of being England and Pakistan in one go today.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

No pressure Joe, but we need at least 180 runs from you.

 

[Chubb]

Amusing.

Well I've long been a believer in the Don Bradman rule: if you don't hit the ball in the air you can't get out (caught).

Not that I ever obeyed that while batting myself, I wasn't good enough to have that control.

In the end it was a pretty poor over.

 

[King Kane]

Not much going right for England today,

After one over bowling over 135 Shaheen is back under.

England need a double hundred from Zak, he is their main batsman now, even more important than Root.

Wha? Root is definitely their main batsman.

Wha? Root is definitely their main batsman.

in this situation, crawley scoring a quickfire ton is crucial.

 

[Silver Silva]

Is Duckett ruled out of the match?
