They have to be positive after tea or they are done.

How much longer would you give KP Paul...............

I'm not writing off Morgan's test career, but he needs to go away and work on his technique.

But he doesn't have one to play at Test level.  He got into the team by playing innings for the One day side where he played some unorthadox shots and proved he had a good eye when in form.  To be a Test Cricketer you need more.  But the must for any top 6 batsman is to have a solid technique so when you are not in form or on a tricky wicket you've something to fall back on. 

Pietersen is going to be one of those players who just won't get scores in the subcontinent - he doesn't like spin, likes to take the ball on the up and the ball coming on to the bat in front of big crowds - none of which you'll find much of over there.  Get him playing infront of a packed house against either Australia or South Africa and he'll be fine.

Fantastic test match. Enland to win today with 6 down. For those of you only partially into cricket this is the stuff that makes us addicts.

There is a case to send Broad, Swann in ahead of Trott to try and hit a quick fire 50/60 that would see us almost home

[PaulWinch again]

Strauss gone, we are in massive trouble.

[TheTimVilla]

This is fucking brainless & spineless

[PaulWinch again]

This is bloody horrible.

[spangley1812]

If Pakistan dont win this its gonna be their keepers fault...........some one put some gaffer tape around his mouth

[PaulWinch again]

He cost them a run out of Trott.

[spangley1812]

He cost them a run out of Trott.

and all of their reviews.............

[PaulWinch again]

We need to be positive, we are going nowhere.

[PaulWinch again]

Trott gone.

[PaulWinch again]

We have to just go for it now, we are out of time and nearly out of wickets.

[Chris Smith]

This is the game now, it's this pair or nothing.

[Chris Smith]

Fuck.
