    Well on a pitch like this medium pace could cause more problems than fast bowling so either could actually do a decent job.

    3 runs from that Carberry over. Very tidy.

    This is the crucial point of the match..we need wickets, and quickly.

    I also said that I expected us to bat second. I'd have much rather called that right, than calling Carberry bowling right!

    I hate batting first in one-day cricket with the new fielding regs. I just don't get us batting first.

    Do need another wicket quickly though. Only 98 more to win, so a 25 or 30 run partnership here keeps Derby right on track.

    Keep all the spinners on, and try to get the run-rate up, they will make mistakes.

    Third over for Carberry. Every over he bowls is an over that Griff doesn't have to!

    That wicket could be as good as a Fifty from Carbs.

    Just as long as his wickets this week don't help him to get into the ODI squad. I love Carbs, and I really want him to play for England as much as possible. But the YB40 SFs are right bang in the middle of the Eng-Aus ODI series (that particular weekend goes: Friday: ODI, Saturday: YB40 SF 1, Sunday: ODI, Monday: YB40 SF 2). We need Carbs and Briggs - especially now that we've got the fifth wicket, and our in control (ie it looks like we'll be in those SFs).
