Plunkett looked a bit wild & ragged to me. More so than when I've seen him before, so it possibly may be nerves. Looked to be bowling at a decent-ish lick, Sky weren't showing the the speed gun readings for some reason but to the naked eye he looked low-mid 80s mph, slightly quicker than Hoggy maybe. Got one to leave Butt, but Salman looks to have a bit of a weakness to the ball slanting across him, so I'd say the jury remains out for mine.
Pretty certain this will be Udal's last test, admittedly he only bowled 3 overs but I didn't see any turn at all. No control either. He's proved to be the wrong pick for mine, can't help but think that our selectors had hoped some of Warney's stardust might've rubbed off. It hasn't. Monty Panesar looks to be head & shoulders above any of our other young spinners, but as his batting & fielding are sub-schoolgirl (and there's been one or two whispers in the press about his "attitude" too, he's not even in the academy intake this year, IIRC) I think Swann might get the nod for India.
Fred looked a bit down on pace today, but really we've been flogging him silly all year. He's such a big-hearted lad he'll keep coming in & even when operating at reduced steam he was our most economical bowler by some way.
Inzi's the key. And, I think you'll find the Pope's Catholic too!
Looking like we might get a result tho, despite the overs being lost. It's been a good little series, shame it's only 3 tests really.
(sorry, I just find Glen-moose a slightly amusing name for a place)
