England Cricket Thread 2011

[Chris Smith]

This really has been an excellent test match so far, between two very high quality sides.

Yes it is, almost lunch on the fourth day and all results still on the cards although that wicket tips it a little towards them.

After a pretty flat series against Sri Lanka this is just what was needed.

Still quite a bit of batting to come though.

Hopefully Morgan and Prior can put on a bit of a counter attack.

[Dave Cooper please]

This is great, England were never going to have it all their own way, India are too good for that.
Still (just) fancy England though, as long as the tail wags and get's us close to a 350 lead, and then Anderson finds a bit of swing.

Inconsiderate bastards have scuppered my plans to do some work in the garden today.

Time for Morgan to show what he's made of now.

[taylorsworkrate]

Cannot believe Atherton has just said the standard of the Cricket hasn't been very good up until today.

What about Pietersen's brilliant double hundred? What about Broad's fine spell of full length, quick bowling?  What about Dravid's wonderful defiant hundred?

[Dave Cooper please]

Atherton has been a miserable bugger ever since he became a pundit, he'd love to be controversial like Boycott or even Botham but he just comes across as a miserable bugger.

Anyway, lead edging towards 300. Good resistance from Prior and morgan.

Well done Broad, I am happy he has proved me wrong........5 wickets in the 2nd innings please

[taylorsworkrate]

That is one hell of an innings from Prior.

What a cricketer he is.

Right come on lads, lets get into them.

[spangley1812]

Well done Prior, brilliant..............

[PaulWinch again]

Fantastic by Prior and Broad as well.

[UK Redsox]

Well done Prior, brilliant..............

After being pretty woeful in the first innings, it was a good effort by Ishant Sharma in the second

Altogether now......... "Ishant Sharma's gonna get you"

[PaulWinch again]

Mukund bowled Broady!

[spangley1812]

If we can get rid of one of these soon it really does open up the game for us

[PaulWinch again]

Broad is bowling brilliantly now, it's funny how confidence can change things.
