[Barney Rubble]

don't think its *that* serious

Good, we can't afford to lose him just as he starts to show signs of real improvement.

 

[Barney Rubble]

They're back on.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Lewis gets Nafees, he's got 3-21 now.

 

[twctopcat]

10 for me thinks.

Nah - Trescothick 2-1-3-5 later on, just you watch.

 

[PY]

Off we go again, think it's going to be one of those days...

 

[twctopcat]

Nah - Trescothick 2-1-3-5 later on, just you watch.

No doubt he will give it some truemanesque swing.

starts"

Somehow i don't think cricinfo have to apologise for this, not even they can control the skies!!!

Of course - with conditions like these, I'd back Strauss for a couple of wickets! He's bowled in an ODI before.......

 

[Nate]

Gatting (roughly): It's that sort of rain that makes everything damp


Hmm

Unless they were talking about Bangladesh.

A bit below the belt there!

Just kidding.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Just kidding.

Sad thing is, you'd be perfectly justified if you weren't!

On an unrelated note, I just had to explain to a couple of mates who don't really follow the game, but noticed that Australia had lost to Somerset, exactly how momentous a win that was for Somerset - they couldn't believe the circumstances of the victory, they assumed that it must have been an Aussie reserve XI, or that they were resting all their first choice players!

 

[PY]

75/5 (20 overs)

Harmison in amongst the wickets as Habibul goes for wild hoick and top-edges. Could easily be over in 5-10 overs and then 20 more for England to knock them off.....need my mate to get out of bed so I can go watch it at his....

 

[Arjun]

A first look at Jon Lewis suggests he's just medium-pace (on/around 80mph), bu has very good control over the ball. His line was slightly outside off-stump and he got the ball to move both ways. Hopefully he'll keep this up throughout the series.

107/6 (27.5 overs)
