England Cricket Thread 2011

A nice bit of test cricket to take minds of a pretty horrible few days as an Aston Villa fan.

Lovely.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Probably be no play Friday, torrential rain all day tomorrow.

[The Left Side]

Rain rain go away

Rain rain go away

Hopefully they can get say 2 full days of cricket in the last 3.  I'd back England to win this test if that were possible.

[Dave Cooper please]

Strauss out cheaply again, he's having a 'mare this series.

[VillaZogmariner]

Yeah, like KP he has been found out a bit now with what type of bowler gets him out.

Unlike KP though I think Strauss will work extra extra hard to get over it.

[Dave Cooper please]

Meanwhile, KP is looking very good so far, so maybe he's finally taken the hint and worked on his technique.

[PaulWinch again]

This is a very good Test match pitch.

[PaulWinch again]

Brilliant decision to take tea in the sun.

[VillaZogmariner]

Brilliant decision to take tea in the sun.

It's a fucking joke that they've taken tea. This decision process needs to be looked at.

[PaulWinch again]

Yep certainly is, I don't blame the crowd for getting very pissed off. The commentators on Sky are equally non-plussed.

[PaulWinch again]

KP looks very very good.

[PaulWinch again]

Shame KP got out for 85, but he looked very very good again.

[hilts_coolerking]

Great knock from Pietersen.  Not quite back to his best but almost.  Just in time for the Indians.  Laarvely.

[VillaZogmariner]

That knock of 85 was equally as good (technically) as the double century he got at Adelaide. (What a day that was!) All that was missing was the amount of runs.
