was just pointing out that our Cribb has feelings too and it wasn't a nice thing to say.
Wow!! Didn't know developers had made so much progress in the field of Artificial intelligence. :ph34r:


Seriously though, AWTA.

Junaid bowling 6 overs doesnt really help either and doesnt do justice to him...instead of giving a run to Gul after lunch Junaid should have bowled..Gul is bowling trash in this test so far.

Last overs - 3 runs, 9 wickets.

So when do we start to seriously say that the English middle order isn't that much cop against quality spin?
I don't think it's a question of ability - I don't think any of the England players are terrible against spin the way someone like Ashwell Prince is - it's a question of mindset.

As soon as Pietersen's wicket went down, you could tell that Bell and Morgan were overly focused on getting to the end of the day 4 wickets down, to the point where they'd completely forgotten about the idea of scoring runs.

Morgan is probably out of his depth. Bell has always had real trouble picking quality spinners (Warne's slider, Kumble's googly & now Ajmal's doosra).

Only seen a few press reports, but to what extent is Strauss beginning to cop it over his form? I haven't seen whether he's getting out the same way or not, but is it a concern bein widely talked about in the media yet?

Don't think so. The English media has only one target...Ajmal.

In seriousness, Strauss is a good captain, so I don't think anyone will question his form just yet. Maybe if his poor performance continues till the next few series.

It'll only become an issue once they've lost this test & series - he's been able to hide behind the success of the team up till now. He's not getting out in the same way - his decision making has been so crap of late that he can get out in pretty much any way.
