Poor Phil - cricketers, at least bastmen anyway, earn every cent they get. Imagine batting for your livelihood. Incredibly stressful.
True that. Pro golfers spring to mind too. Imagine having a six foot left to right putt for a million bucks...

I think Bresnan was picked because of his batting as much as his bowling, although you'd think they'd be keen to give him more of a bowl anyway.
The thinking is probably whatever situation resulted in Bresnan playing, he won't be opening the bowling. If Tremlett plays instead of Finn, its possible he might open and Broad bowl first change. But Bresnans always going to be first change so its better if he gets his practice bowling there

Was Greigy saying that? Funny, considering his son goes to one and I see him there all the time
:laugh:

He pointed out that not many of them go on to make it to the big time in cricket. Maybe he sends his son to Penrith on weekends to play cricket.

Lolworthy run. Out by two feet if Monty had hit.

Also Healy: STFU. Whinging poms? What is this? The ****ing 70s?

Shahzad bowling very nicely, hasn't really bowled a bad ball and getting close to producing that wicket taking ball.

Tremlett sprayed it around a bit but produced some beauties in there. Shahzad on the other hand has been close to awesome; very tight line at a decent lick, getting swing and he's had a few nicks already.

Bresnan's looked pretty tight as well.

Good man! Shahzad has bowled really well here. Has definitely found the right length for the pitch. Thoroughly earned that wicket.

International Captain
Yes deserved that wicket, bowled excellently taking it away from the left-hander. Looks pumped up aswell, he enjoyed that one!

Well bowled Shahzad - did he give the batsman a send off? because if he did very unnecessary.
