awbtaa) Feel for Prior there.
b) Bell is turning into a fantastic batsman.
So that's a "no" on the latter then. ****.Too true. It wasn't total team dominance, it was one outstanding performance. Two huge questions for the next hour or so - one, can Johnson keep going; and two, can Prior bat like he has a brain?
Totally agree. If he played the short ball convincingly he wouldn't have ended up in that position.Look, it's ugly cricket. But Prior played two or three very unconvincing pull shots, and the two balls prior to him getting out got hit, and nearly stepped on short leg's toes. Prior did not look like scoring off anything in the bowler's half.
And Prior goes with some pathetic batting.Most annoying thing about that is Siddle gets a wicket for pathetic bowling and Ponting looks good for pathetic tactics.
This. Why is it **** batting if the guy nicks a shot on the legside but bad luck of that same shot deflects off his body into the stumps?Totally agree. If he played the short ball convincingly he wouldn't have ended up in that position.
fair one. Pathetic cricket all roundAnd Prior goes with some pathetic batting.
