when matt henry comes on to bowl they should play the start of that chili peppers *** rap song "sir psycho ***y"

 

[Howsie]

Well- and maybe I can be accused of circular logic here- I didn't think he was very effective, and I think his pace had something to do with it.

How is there "little point" in bowling faster though, isn't there always a point in bowling faster? 130kph swing is good but 150kph swing is better, etc. It's not like Boult stops swinging it at 140kph, swinging it at speed is his natural method when on song.

Yeah agree with this. If you can swing the ball at 140+ bowl at 140+. Boult was poor yesterday, was really disappointed with him. Southee much the same too although I thought his first spell was excellent.

Likely a bit more cloud around today than yesterday. But a bit warmer.

It's not going to be a grey sky hooping ball day though.

 

[Adders]

Pretty dubious about our batting now it's time. Really needed to keep the bath spurners under 300 in case we have an implosion to get out of our system. We might need Watling and the engine room today.

Well that horse has already bolted fella.

Looking for volunteers to join myself and Shady Slim on CW commentary in 30 mins. VM me your skype name if interested.

Because **** knows what I'm going to chat to a 15-year-old about, other than the cricket...

LOL my bad........the "bath spurners" dig must have clouded my vision cos I read that 3 times as "need" and not "needed"

So what happened to Root in the second session, I watched up till lunch and he had his 50 up at a run a ball. Must have slowed down a heap to end up 98 off 161. Did he go into his shell or did the Kiwi bowling really tighten up?

 

[Pratters]

The pitch is really slow. Noticed this yesterday. Athers making the point.

Once Stokes got out he slowed down, which coincided with some tighter bowling and Henry being pretty neat, Once he got to 96 you could see he was itching for the 100.

[Flem274*]

Poor start Southee. Hope this isn't a sign of what's to come.

Boult looking a bit livelier this morning in his first over there.

Is there any BS registration involved? Or can we just listen via a link?

You can listen. If you want to use the chat you need to sign up but it's a one page exercise.

 

[Dan]

Can just listen via the link. May need to register to live-comment though

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Oh well, have a slog now and then get bowling.

 

[Uppercut]

I wonder if the pitch will do that Lord's thing where it quickens up on day two.

 

[Howsie]

Oh hello, Boult's now bowling 5mph quicker all of a sudden....
