The Warm-Ups...

[TT Boy]

Someone at the Pak India game forgot to turn the lights on during the innings break.

Wahey, Wright's finally realised that to score runs he needs to get bat on ball. Four runs.

There we go, Wright's starting to go now, DLF MAXIMUM........ He'll be out in a minute.

 

[Naumaan]

A bit delay in start cuz of lights not turning on at time
now play is about to start
Umer gul 'll start
gambhir to face

 

[TT Boy]

I just saw no Taylor, Windies have no chance.

 

[superkingdave]

Needs a leg side game tbph

 

[roseboy64]

Bravo with some horrible stuff there.

 

[Naumaan]

Gul's bowling is a bit of worrying thing for Pakistan
not up to the mark
Sohail tanveer would 've been bowling
& even Arafat bowling short & on leg side

 

[superkingdave]

Don't think we will be seeing many sides bowl full or good length to Wright. Back of a length or short and he's clueless

 

[wpdavid]

WI give Bopara his mandatory life

Meanwhile, Wright continues to look so out of his depth it isn't funny. We might as well open with Swann if we want to make room for an extra bowler. Nine overs gone, and he's scoring at under 5-an-over. Not nearly good enough when his job is to smash the cover off the ball or get out trying. He'll cost us games at this rate.

EDIT
Predictable that Wright would smash 3 consecutive sixes whilst I typed the above. Ah well.

Awful over there. Gifting him runs.

I quite like Wright as a player, not saying he's brilliant but i like him.
Too often he gets out in the early stages where he struggles to score so when you look at the score card he ends with 12(20) or 7(7) scores etc but once he gets through he looks a much better player.

Chanderpaul bowling.

I think a lot of players would look top class if you discounted all the times they got out for less than 20 to be fair.

Chanderpaul bowling now.

 

[pskov]

Chanderpaul bowling.

The only bowler in world cricket who doesn't chuck.

He's clearly talented and has a lot of shots when he gets started.

It just his brain that lets him down.
