Don't think they'll do anything other than bat normally and assess the game a little further down the line. If they bat whatever is left today, all day tomorrow and into day four with acceleration once in a commanding position, it may be a tense finish for NZ if we gain a handy lead of around 200. This is of course being optimistic and hopeful of full days play after today. Still plenty left in this Test.
oooh yeah :')
He didn't really look remotely dangerous - bowled some poor deliveries and when he did get it right he wasn't threatening.
My thoughts exactlyIve always stood up for T20 and didnt mind IPL but now its impossible to find a stream of the Test as everyone is streaming that hit & giggle.
Don't worry, there's nothing to stream.Ive always stood up for T20 and didnt mind IPL but now its impossible to find a stream of the Test as everyone is streaming that hit & giggle.
Bloody light.
There was only about 21 overs maybe he'll get more tomorrow.
Imagine England will win the test series without missing him too much (weather permitting) and I expect they will lose the ODIs whether or not he plays to be honest, big crunch is whether or not he is back for the matches against South Africa, as he may well be needed a great deal come then.Fred unlikely to play in this series apparently. Maybe he can come back for the ODIs
yeah good point, the idea of an unfit fred brings back memories of an out of sorts Darren Gough from the last time SA toured. Though Fred usually seems pretty competent, if (and lets face it, its a pretty big if) he is fully fit on return I would have thought he would do a decent enough job, if he only comes back in at about 75% fitness or less...could be dire, and more than likely end up with him back on the injured list..fingers crossed though.
haha yeah, its been too long.Yeah it's swings and roundabouts I guess. Just desperate to see him in those three lions with the ball in his hand tbh.Flintoff
