Probably the least interesting XI for me in the Shield. Maybe will look out for Holland and Keath, but don't care about the rest.

 

[FBU]

Prior at 3rd slip dropped catch off Tremlett. Michael Hill lucky.

Victoria are playing a jeweller? Things are tough.

 

[TumTum]

 

[outbreak]

Victoria's making a bid to lure Malinga and Chris Gayle to the Vic's for the big bash, hence why their providing their own on staff jeweller.

 

[Ruckus]

I don't understand, why are even England's reserve bowlers in prime form? Is there anyone in England at the moment who isn't in form?

 

[vic_orthdox]

Good to see Paul "Blocker" Wilson umpiring.

 

[Howsie]

Wellingtonian Jayde Herrick picking himself up a game, nice.

Wellingtonian Jayde Herrick picking himself up a game, nice.

So do we rename Wellington Australia or Australia Wellington A?

Reckon it should be Wellington A personally.

 

[Prince EWS]

Victoria are playing a jeweller? Things are tough.

That's nothing - Michael Hill has actually opened the batting with Nick Jewell before.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Personally liked it more when Klinger and Mash played together.

 

[benchmark00]

'c. Mustard b. Onions' my favourite mode of dismissal.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Bit surprised to see Cook in the team, given he's batted for what seems like several days already.

 

[outbreak]

So Hill has 1 good innings in something like 10 games for the Vics in FC and a handful of one dayers and t20's, yet he now looks good to make runs against England of all people? Hope he can finally find his game and can continue through out the season in the shield...


Regarding cook it may be a case of not wanting to rest him in case he regresses in form. Abit like Johnson maybe, if he's on a streak don't interupt it

At the ground, the pom attack looking a bit toothless. The drop in quality from Broad will be very noticeable. Re: Cook, I suspect he's playing because he's younger and doesn't need as much rest. Davies dropped Hill right before tea, also.

Prior dropped Hill twice; both sitters apparently.

 

[Spark]

Yeah Broad bowled much much much better than 2 wickets in two tests.

 

[TT Boy]

Prior is keeping or Davies? Cricinfo has the latter keeping.

Yeah Davies is keeping and dropped a catch just before tea. Prior dropped a catch at third slip in the first over and then another at midwicket later on.

 

[Spark]

Meh, I wouldn't worry too much about Prior dropping a catch at 3rd slip.
