until england put on at least 300 i'm keeper clam and carrying on. 152 all outs not as bad a sit could have been but a glorious start for england. IF we get 300 i think we'll be in a good enough position and then if we get say 400-450 we won't bat again maybe. dream start.
So is cook now out of form after apparently being back in form last week? Think get to 250 and anything more is a bonus. This game won't see 5 I'll days of cricket though with it bound to rain more so keeping the total small to chase on the final day will be imperative.
Balance gone LBW just before close of play. Just not quite getting outside the line. Jordan in as night watchman. Need him to stay there then go and get 30 or so tomorrow morning.
Well what a brilliant day that was! Anderson unlucky not to get a few more. He was brilliant, as was Broad smashing the stumps away a few times! Loved Anderson bowling that prick Jadeja out for a duck too.
237 and mega rain.... it could be the case a it of extra time is added but the way it was going losing a day might not impact a result.
Not ideal losing a bit of the test to rain but it was inevitable due to the **** weather up north (should be why all tests are held down south ) Shouldn't impact on the result unless we have more... sill 3 who day left. We just need to bat until say Lunch tomorrow, get a lead of 150 and then bowl them out for something around 200-250 and chase it down on the final day.
its like that comedian I saw (was it jimmy carr) saying why don't football teams just play once decide whos best and leave it at that, why have seasons. cricket is cricket... so you huddled masses can phook off and let the toffs enjoy their game.
