The Cricket Thread 2013

Throughout this series England have just allowed Watson to run up and bowl maiden after maiden as if he was Glenn Mcgrath or something.

He's a bit better than a part timer, but no more than that. I can't understand the tactics here

[PaulWinch again]

Harris really is a top top bowler, if injuries hadn't ravaged him I think he'd be one of the best of his generation.

[PaulWinch again]

It''s looking tough out there now.

[PaulWinch again]

That is the first session we've won in this match, we need KP and Belly to keep going.

[taylorsworkrate]

Well the first session of the match that England have won.

Shame about the previous 6 sessions!!

If Australia had reviewed KP was gone, let off there.

In fairness to the Ump, KP was a long way down the pitch (and also on the walk, which made it look like he was even further down)

Oh I don't think it was a terrible decision by the umpire or by Australia not to review for that reason.

"AV de Belly" is making this look very easy

[PaulWinch again]

Well jinxed UK! that's a really bad blow, we need Bairstow and Prior to turn up now.

[UK Redsox]

Umm.......... pretend that I didn't type that about Bell

[PaulWinch again]

We really need a Bairstow century now, Bell did well but we need other batsmen to turn up. 225-5 on this pitch is not good.

[taylorsworkrate]

Nope, but after batting 90 overs it wouldn't be so bad losing 5 wickets if the run rate was more like 3.25.

[taylorsworkrate]

Its still an incredibly flat surface. Only 3 wickets have been taken today and one of them was a strangle down the leg side

[taylorsworkrate]

Bairstow looks highly nervous here

[PaulWinch again]

Yes he's not exactly filling me with confidence at the moment, come on Jonny a century please.
