England 2012 Cricket Thread

Horrible injury for something so innocuous, poor guy, hope he recovers ok.

Neil Carter tweeted yesterday blaming the English summer for the injury. He has said that if it had been a decent day weather-wise he'd have been wearing his shades and they'd have taken the impact rather than his eye. There's some logic there I guess.

He was a great keeper and the Saffers will be weakened by his absence.

Not having a go at Anderson as he's normally excellent, but England have dropped far too many catches in recent times.

[PaulWinch again]

I repeat, that's 3 catches put down today.

i am of the opinion that when standing up to the stumps with spin bowlers bowling at 55-60 mph nowadays all wicketkeepers should be wearing helmets.
I always wore one but i am extremely handsome and couldnt afford the monday off with my nose splattered over my face, slightly tongue in cheek but you know what i mean!
this could have been avoided and before i hear that the best keepers just dont, well the best batsmen in the world just do now where as in the past they just didnt!
it is the rules in junior cricket, why should his career be over now as it could have been easily avoided!

Australia's circus is rolling into town now.

At age 35 his career was almost over anyway. I wonder that with the uncertain recovery period he is facing whether he was going to retire after this series anyway.

Australia are embarrassingly outmatched by England. They're about 10 batsmen light.

[usav]

Good fuck 'em.

[PaulWinch again]

Hmmm struggling a bit here. Although losing 3 overs and only 8 runs is a bit harsh.

[PaulWinch again]

I've always thought Bopara had talent, and he's looking a much more assured cricketer now. What with Morgan sorting his technique out again, things are looking up.

[Dave Cooper please]

I repeat, that's 3 catches put down today.

No problem, we're still too good for the convicts. Get the poor catching out of the way before the test series against a decent team.

[PaulWinch again]

Bopara has played brilliantly this series and he deserves the number 6 slot against the Saffers in my opinion.

[PaulWinch again]

Morgan to come in and play that shot, shows he's back again.

[The Left Side]

Always nice to beat that lot

Any truth in the rumour that Australia are considering merging with South Africa to give themselves a chance in the next Ashes?
