Dernbach massively over does the slower ball, but it's spread to the rest of the team. Most of the balls that got smacked for 4 were slower balls. The slower ball should be a surprise not the norm.

Shambles from Kieswetter.........if we lose he has cost us this game

Agreed about Dernbach........get him off

Disagree about Kieswetter. Yes he made a mistake kicking the stumps, but these bowlers probably couldn't defend 400!

The bowlers could defend 300 if the keeper was up to the job

[spangley1812]

Still no Bell and Swann has been dropped

[PaulWinch again]

Swann dropped?

[Dave Cooper please]

Strange decision, can understand Dernbach being dropped because he's been shite but Swann?

[PaulWinch again]

Apparently he's rested. I guess now the series is lost they want a look at Borthwick.

[TheTimVilla]

I suppose it's a dead rubber and they want to see Patel & Borthwick in tandem.

Just the 4 South Africans in the team...

[PaulWinch again]

Anyone got any feeds for this?

[spangley1812]

If its a dead rubber why not drop Kieswetter let Bairstow keep and bring in Bell.................

[TheTimVilla]

Hey, they've made changes so *that's* progress. 

Just to think that this time last year our alternatives would have been the likes of Yardy & Wright!

[PaulWinch again]

Kieswetter on the move.

[PaulWinch again]

I'm not sure about Cook at all.

[PaulWinch again]

Ah the usual Kieswetter start then gone.

[spangley1812]

Kieswetter on the move.

not any more

[spangley1812]

I'm not sure about Cook at all.

I never have been and never will..........
