If you're on about me you'll find I've barely commented on Collingwood. I've merely gone on about just how useless Bell has proven himself to be so far given a proper run in the side. Bell has a long way to go before he's a Test class batsman.superkingdave said:

And I'm assuming that should he play in the next Test and score a chanceless 150, you'll tell us that he went that entire way between the two Tests, and you were of course never in any danger of being wrong. That statement has been duly noted, and should he sometime between now and the end of the India tour prove conclusively that he is Test class, you'll be reminded of it.Scaly piscine said:

I love it when programs arent afraid to have a bit of a laugh. There are many programs on many channels that would never have done that. Fair play to them!Neil Pickup said:
thats the most important thing, hes realised that he can just leave anything thats even remotely close to the delivery that usually gets him out while still capitalising on the inaccuracy of line and length from pace bowlers. the problem with most pace bowlers is that they refuse to bowl the same ball over and over again when it doesnt get them any wickets, but if they did that, they'd be far more likely to get trescothick out.Barney Rubble said:

does sami even know how to bowl good lines? the 2nd day of this test was filled with the most unprofessional bowling performance possible, ive never seen spinners bowl as many no balls, and it was quite ludicrous to see shabbir bowl overs at 70 mph, not to mention sami bowling his usual rubbish.SpaceMonkey said:
he certainly improved considerably after he got the 2nd new ball, and hes looked more like the bowler we know from the past.Neil Pickup said:
which gives even more reason why vaughan shouldnt be playing ODIs.....social said:
yousuf has to be one of the most overrated players around. along with the rest of the mistakes inzy has made as captain in this test match, you have to question the reasoning behind batting yousuf ahead of himself in the first innings.luckyeddie said:
To be fair to sami he did bowl a good spell there with some reverse swing. It didnt last long mindtooextracool said:
all they have to do is see out the new ball without losing too many wickets. pretty much every bowler was far more effective with the new ball than the old(and most wickets fell with the new ball as well). Obviously Thorpe would be the ideal man in the middle order for a situation like this, but England are still favorites.Tom Halsey said:
except that both those 100s were over 2 months ago, and as such Pietersen has struggled to get into double figures since then.Tom Halsey said:
