98 - 2 at lunch. We've probably shaded the morning session with that scoreline. We could do with batting an absolute minimum of 60 - 90 minutes after lunch without losing another wicket. That would put us in a strong position.
It would probably have been a good toss to lose as I fancy jimmy would've got right amongst them and the psychological damage going cheaply does would have been beneficial later on in the match/series Still not convinced with Root at the top,would much rather Trott & cook open with bell 3 KP 4 & root 5 13 overs an hour is a disgrace,won't be finished until 7pm at that rate. Already a good way through a Chablis,will be ****faced by the close
Think these days they always want to bat first and bowl last,whatever the first morning cloud cover offers Just think having the Aussies 4 or 5 down at lunch on the first morning would set a big marker
Time will tell. I think we're not in too bad a shape really but wonder what Jimmy Anderson could have got out of that cloud. Anyway, we could have 300 by close and if we only lose one or two more wickets it will be good. That Chablis sounds good, I'm half way through a protein drink myself. Not quite as nice.
I was in the middle of writing something about getting to 200 for 2 glad I hadn't posted it or I'd have got all the blame then.
****ing hell Remind me not to go for a late lunch tomorrow. Told you Pieterson was pretty good at that.
Says Captain America we invented all the great sports...unlike your lot who just rob ours and make them worse
Wouldn't expect a brainless ****ing yank to understand it. However, I did check on the oldest international team contest. It was a cricket match...................... ..............between the USA and Canada They'll all have been English anyway.
**** it. Bell's gone. Apparently a 'jaffa'. That's proper trouble now 178 - 5. We should have ****ing well bowled first
Bit of a shambles to be perfectly honest. I know it is literally a 50/50 call but more than one of us thought bowling was the way forward and that was even before we saw the weather. If only to put the pressure on, which is now on us. Daft.
