How do you work that one out?

 

[GIMH]

Poor Hughes, what pressure for a young guy to be under now. From what I've heard of his career, it sounds like it's the first time he's ever had a bad patch.

What an unfortunate shame that it's come at this time

I see rain has brought proceedings to a halt...hope the clouds get it all out of their system this week tbh

How do you work that one out?

Mathematics.

 

[Pup Clarke]

So to bowl a short ball to dismiss a batsman means that it has to be >90mph?. News to me.

 

[TT Boy]

Moving on.

 

[Burgey]

What's the score please? And is it still raining?

 

[four_or_six]

What's the score please? And is it still raining?

It's 64/2, and it's still raining. Presumably they took lunch.

If it's anything like the weather here, it's just been short sharp showers.

Anyone know where Wakely usually fields?

He isn't a regular first-teamer, so I doubt he has a regular fielding position TBH.

 

[Richard]

He's a batsman who bowls a bit of spin.

Yeah, startlingly similar to his Dad BTSOT. He was a moderate but fearless batsman and moderate-quality spinner too.

Wigley's not slow (he is very poor) but there's no way he's as quick as Dale Steyn or Morne Morkel. Probably about Makhaya Ntini sort of speed.

How did the Prince get out?

How did the Prince get out?

Caught at gully fending off a short ball.

Caught at gully fending off a short ball.

 

[Richard]

Will almost certainly remain the highlight of David Wigley's career, that.

 

[TT Boy]

Caught at gully fending off a short ball.

The stuff of royalty.

 

[Uppercut]

At least Northants have a better keeper than England .

 

[BoyBrumby]

Looks to be properly FC, the game. All the more disappointing Northants have stuck the stiffs out, really.

Hope the rather wonderfully named Ben Howgego goes () ok; went to school round here. *chest swells with local pride*

 

[pup11]

Disappointed that Hughes failed to hit himself back into some sort of form before the 3rd test, and given the fact Watto is batting at no.3, it kind of indicates that, Aussies might after all be serious about using Watto as an opener if needed.

 

[91Jmay]

At least Northants have a better keeper than England .

And Australia

 

[Prince EWS]

50 up for Watto.
