If you are playing a shot and the the ball swings and moves as you are about to play then the shot looks bad - conditions have played a huge part in some of the poor looking strokes.

[paul_e]

it's absolutely a combination of things, batsmen wanting to get started (or kick on) dry pitch, overcast muggy conditions, some good deliveries as well.

I just think it's a bit harsh to keep calling it as poor shots, the pitch has played a big part.

[eastie]

Would be great to get another couple out tonight .

[PaulWinch again]

It would.

[eastie]

It would.

Indeed .

[PaulWinch again]

Broad not being out there is a worry.

[eastie]

Broad not being out there is a worry.

Wouldnt risk him tonight now - give swann a go.
Can see this being over in 3 days maybe .

[paul_e]

Broad not being out there is a worry.

This is why I'd like to see Bresnan given a go as an all rounder.  with Broad not on the pitch we look very light on bowling.

[eastie]

How was broad injured - i was out having a meal with mrs east at the time?

[PaulWinch again]

Hit on the shoulder batting.

[PaulWinch again]

These two have settled it down here.

[PaulWinch again]

Bowlers are tiring.

[PaulWinch again]

Rogers is gone!

[eastie]

One more tonight and we can sleep well.

[PaulWinch again]

Think we won't get anymore tonight. Need to come out hard in the morning.
