I doubt very much that you (or anyone else for that matter) could have told that his hand was off the bat, Kasper himself said he would have been livid had he been bowling and it not been given out. Anyway, swings & roundabouts I say, you win some lucky decsions you lose some, it's part of cricket.BingLeeElectric said:

Oh Course Marc would be the only one who would pick Giles over Panesar

That's a relief as it only further endorses Panesar as being the better and proves we are right in out beliefs.chris.hinton said:

I think it is what was needed from an English perspective. Not the draw of course but a performance that has specifics to be worked on rather than 'the whole thing' requiring improving!
All I wanted from this game was a performance that didn't make the Australians look like it was going to be a breeze. If a win came from that then I'd be delighted but progress has been made.
Given the fact that really, the Aussies haven't looked like winning this since England were 2 down in the first dig IMO. England haven't looked much more likely but they've been the best option for a positive result.

I just speak the truth and if that "provokes a reaction" then so be it.
I have no control over whether you "people" accept the facts or chose to continue living in ignorance.

The draw was the best thing that could have happened for England. Why?
Because if England won this game, we'd continue to see the likes of Anderson and Giles in the England side for the next test match.
On Anderson, his action like i suspected has ruined his ability to bowl the kind of outswingers that gave him a bit of potential as a rookie a few years ago. Saying that though he hasnt even been half as accurate as he was in the subcontinent last year. More like a case of being rushed back a bit too early.

Probably the stupidest move you can possibly make. Going in with no spinners on quite possibly another featherbed would be up there with Ponting's decision to field first as Edgbaston last year. Flintoff is already struggling bowling with a 5 man attack, one wonders how he would do being part of a 4 man all pace attack.Matteh said:

Yes, because I don't want a tail starting with Hoggard at 8.chris.hinton said:
If you actually bothered to read my posts you would see that I did favour playing Panesar as part of a 4 man attack, butcan understand why they want the insurance, as a 4 man with an unfit bowler (I'm looking at you McGrath) is not ideal.
I also suggested playing both of them in a 5 man attack...

Don't like agreeing with the troll, but just because "you win some lucky decsions you lose some, it's part of cricket" doesn't make the decision any more correct. Best of intentions or not, right is right and wrong is wrong. I don't see any exam markers going "I can see he was on the right track, and I can see what he was trying to do, bah, who cares if he got it wrong, lets give him full marks anyway"
It just doesn't work like that. Don't get me wrong, don't really care about Edgbaston anymore, but at the time I was livid because the first thing I thought was "was his hand on the bat?"
