***Official*** Pakistan and England in UAE

Wonderful Morgan, it's anoying because Ravi might just get picked at the perfect time for him and get runs against Sri Lanka and West Indies, meaning that we won't see Taylor untill he is chucked in during the middle of the SA series.

Really think that we'll replace Morgan with Bres, can't see how we can drop any of these bowlers, and Bres would improve the batting.

If short leg wasn't such a soft **** Prior could've been in trouble there.

I know it's easy to say from my couch and all, but really if you're going to turn away at any cross batted shot, it's probably not your position.

FFS, matters not now. Just misses a straight one.

 

[Spark]

How do you play inside a ball that hits middle stump...?

 

[Pothas]

Oh dear...

 

[Burgey]

Cheers, just had even more good news. brother in intensive care now. Good few days. NOT.

Oh ****. That's dire. I hope he's ok.

 

[benchmark00]

Quality.

Yep, people can talk about good bowling, but that about sums it up. It's bloody shocking. I'm glad I'll be in bed for the first session tommorrow.

 

[Pothas]

Can't say I am overly upset that im going to miss the rest of this test.

 

[Furball]

What on earth is the point of sending in Anderson?

 

[Spark]

I honestly wouldn't blame Broad for saying "**** you tossers, why are you making me bat today?" and having a right dig.

EDIT: Broad gets a nightwatchman? What?

 

[Spikey]

a nightwatchman for broad - a good move

No front foot bro.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Can you just imagine being one of the bowlers?

You toil away knocking over Pakistan cheaply pretty much every innings, put your feet up thinking job done and we'll watch the batsmen do their job and build up a lead and see this ****ing crock of **** happening again and again and again and again.

If one of useless ***** sat in the dressing room hasn't been maimed by the end of this series that's another sterling effort from the bowlers.

 

[Burgey]

God it's bizarre seeing number 10 in as watchman for number eight.

This series has seen a return to pre-WWI score lines. It's been bizarre.

Some worthwhile comments on Sky re DRS and its effect on how the game is being played.

Yep, people can talk about good bowling, but that about sums it up. It's bloody shocking.

Some of the batting today on both sides has been village green stuff. Credit to Strauss and Shafiq who have got their heads down/looked a proper player (delete as applicable)

2 day test anyone?

 

[Pothas]

Yeah that's probably true actually, West Indies though.....it's going to be 2009 all over again.

 

[Spark]

No front foot bro.

Oh, I know how on an intellectual and technical level, I'm just struggling to comprehend how he failed to perform the basic steps to protect his middle stump.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Come on England, you can lose 4 for 0 to not gain a lead! Do it!

 

[BoyBrumby]

How is that not a chuck? **** me gently.

 

[Furball]

We're in the lead!
