Eurgh I thought Nick Knight usually ****ed off for the home series?

He does if they bring in a national from the away side. But as they already have Michael Holding they don't bring someone in. I would much prefer Ian Ward as the last man.

Crackinfo will always remain crackinfo. They are giving IPL live score priority than this test's score. Ludicrous

In what way is Cricinfo giving priority to IPL over the test match? I'm not remotely interested in IPL but have never begrudged the fact that Cricinfo covers it, or felt that such coverage undermines its coverage of real cricket. They're just doing what any business would do and catering for those customers - presumably mostly Indians - who're interested in that stuff.

The incessant criticism of Cricinfo by users of this forum always amuses me, as none of the site's critics is ever able to suggest a better resource. Ok, some don't appreciate the jokes on their live commentary. Is that really something to get so worked up about?

I presume at AndyZalt's location IPL is listed first. I figure in England the Test match would be the first headline and its first here in Australia too.

Wait have they mentioned the slope at all this morning? I mean something really must be wrong if they haven't .

Is it just me or has Broad's bowling been a bit... floaty? Not especially slow, inaccurate or gun-barrel but just he just seems to be "putting it there" rather than getting any zip off the pitch.

If only I'd known. Definitely a hanging offence ;-)

Cheer up mate. Just letting you know I put some money on Bell being leading run scorer in the first innings of this Test. Paying $7, do you like his chances? :)

Yes I agree it has lacked any real devil, even with the deliveries where he's been up around the mid 80's (mph).
