Keeping wicket against the quicks shouldn't be an issue, however standing up to the wicket when Swann is bowling could be... Still hope Prior can make and we're just sending out some dodgy reports about his fitness. Will be paying a visit to the local supermarket, stocking up on my chips and dips to see me through at the very least a couple of sessions!
Baistow did okay the other day To be honest I'm happy for Prior to play his way into the team compared to handed it. Every time I seem to watch him he's in poor form.
He's been very consistent with the gloves though. I'd much rather he was behind the stumps, as JB says being keeper to Swanny must be pretty tricky. Even so I'd rather he misses one and plays the next four than rushing him for this one and him missing the rest of the winter.
24 hours to go... If we're bowling first, nothing to second slip please, unless it comes off the edge of an Aussie bat!
I'll make sure I'm still up to listen to the first ball. I've got a lift in tomorrow, so don't have to be up until 8. Can't ****ing wait!!!!!
Have that on as well mate my missus has got tickets for the pictures tonight so I need to check how long the film is as it doesn't start until 9
Got wind that my mate who migrated a few years ago is going to the first 3 days of the test match.. Called him a few expletives before discussing the game. He thinks that the Aussies are doing "bit" of smoke blowing up their own arses, claiming they have a good side when on paper it isn't all that special. We see off Harris then their attack is pretty blunt, their batsman, apart from a couple aren't consistent enough either. We have a better Bowling attack and Batting line up and the Aussies know it! #gameon
