You jinx pwa

[UK Redsox]

These two are doing well, but they have to go on.

Paul...... STFU !!

[paul_e]

we need them to push us over 250 I reckon, Prior is usually handy for chunk of runs and Swann and Broad can add some between them but I'd really want a reasonable total on the board before the latter pair come in.

[PaulWinch again]

We're continuing with our getting starts and getting out, this is really poor from our batsmen.

[paul_e]

Ah damnit, stream is behind you lot so i have to watch through the fingers for a minute now.

[PaulWinch again]

That card makes poor reading, suggests we're mentally fragile.

Or that the pitch is tough even if you're "in".

The Bell wicket is a good example, I don't think you can fault him too much, it was a good delivery that got the help it needed from the pitch.

True but 3 of the wickets were poor shots.

Shocking Prior, really shocking.

[UK Redsox]

This is now an old-fashioned England collapse

[PaulWinch again]

That was fucking idiotic. We'll be out tonight and this has been a really bad display.

[paul_e]

Both Bell and KP have gone to balls that turned off the bounce at something like 85mph.  I don't think you can fault either of them or Root all that much, Trott's was a very poor shot and I still can't work out what Cook was doing for his.

What did I tell you all about our batting.

Pietersen played very loosely and Prior's shocking was fucking atrocious.

[PaulWinch again]

Our batsmen have completely lost the ability to build big innings. That shot from Prior given the situation was appalling and we'll  be lucky to get 250 now.
