The Cricket Thread 2013

[Monty]

Brilliant from the lower order.

[PaulWinch again]

All over, 298 got to be happy with that. The bowlers need to turn up now.

[DrGonzo]

Excellent.  So forget my earlier straw pol...l 250?  Pffft.  298 run lead.  Go get it Aus.   

[Brend'Watkins]

Great morning's cricket.  Aus have got to go for it now, a tall order with a changing pitch. 

[taylorsworkrate]

New ball is vital. Need to pick up 2 or 3 wickets in first 20 overs

[taylorsworkrate]

Anderson surely has to bowl well at some stage? He's been way off form the last 3 innings he's bowled

[taylorsworkrate]

That, we cannot afford

[PaulWinch again]

Our reviewing has really gone off the boil.

[taylorsworkrate]

Ball done nothing so far. Hopefully that's the effect of the heavy roller, otherwise we could be in a spot of bother. This is a very flat pitch after 20 overs or so

[PaulWinch again]

Come on we need early wickets here.

[taylorsworkrate]

This ploy of bowling badly is not working. Completely wasting the new ball

[PaulWinch again]

Anderson is poor again at the moment.

[PaulWinch again]

Bollocks we really could do with some early wickets here.

[taylorsworkrate]

Scrap poor, this is horrendous. Swann on now before the seamers concede too many runs

[PaulWinch again]

This is a relaitvely small target and at the moment the bowling is far far too wayward.
