On today's evidence heaven help us when we play one of the top teams .

[Villan For Life]

Ramdin is a poor captain. He's a good wicketkeeper-batsman but an awful captain.

Between them Anderson & Taylor took 15 wickets yesterday bowling from the same end. Today he bowls Taylor from the other end. Sheer madness.

[PaulWinch again]

This is a pretty dismal effort.

[adrenachrome]

An exquisite little innings from Jos Buttler at the death.

Boycs reckons he has never seen a worse performance by spinners on a turning pitch than from our spin bowlers, who are not actually spin bowlers at all.

Nice shot on the greenidge & Haynes stand of the claret and blue flag with studley and redditch lions on it

[PaulWinch again]

Well this will take some bowling.

The battling line up is so fragile, as I said before the Aussies will blow it away this summer, wankers.

[aj2k77]

I'm still of the opinion the Moeen isn't a good enough front line spinner either and I'm not convinced by his batting. He will get a thorough examination by Johnson and Harris this summer and if he's not up to the short ball he's going to get a lot of single figure scores.

[PaulWinch again]

Well that goes for any of our batsmen I wouldn't single out Moeen. Important couple of quick wickets there.

[peter w]

I wonder if Pietersen would improve this batting line up...

[PaulWinch again]

We're going to need a great spell from one of our bowlers if we're going to win this.

Nice shot on the greenidge & Haynes stand of the claret and blue flag with studley and redditch lions on it

This is why it's always worth watching every ball of a test match!

[PaulWinch again]

This is going away from us very fast.

[PaulWinch again]

Moeen has bowled quite well today I don't get why Cook's taken him off.

[PaulWinch again]

Broad is on it here.
