repeat, bowlers get team into good position, top order invite pressure and fold
|
|
By:
not that far forward
 |
|
By:
well there's a surprise, Bell out. Looking like the lead may be around the 70 mark as it was last test, and we all know what happened there
|
|
By:
it's all on how Prior and Broad do really, we know Morgan won't get more than 10 but at least the other 2 have shown a bit of ability in the conditions.
|

By:
Well done Bell, negativity rules.
|

By:
Can't understand Englands tactics after the last game :(
|
|
By:
Rubbish again from Bell, block, block, block, slog, block, block, miss doosra, walk off. Repeat every innings.
|
|
By:
whole top order needs looking @
|
|
By:
Last 31 balls, just 3 runs :(

By:
yeah can't believe Morgan is still in the team ff, these conditions were meant to be the ones he thrived in and he's been the worst batsman of the lot apart from Bell. would love for him to prove me wrong but he repeatedly fails to
|

By:
awful review.
outside the line and too far forward. |
|
By:
Pakistan are awful with those reviews, Morgan is a walking wicket, he may as well play a few shots, try to get some momentum and spread the field a little. He won't, he will nick one to slip after scoring 2 from 21 balls or some such irrelevance.
|

By:
don't think go under 19.5. as much as i think he'll fail I just can't be shorting a top order batsman for less than 20 in a test match!
|

By:
it would be nice to see a change from england against the spinners.
get forward, take the two men around the bat out by being aggressive as opposed to this death by a thousand cuts. the more conservative approach in the first match is fine, but that last run chase in the 2nd test and now having them skittled for 99 is the perfect opportunity to assert yourselves. ffs we're the number one team in the world with a lot of batsmen in the top 10, not atherton's side of the 90s. |

 Effin balloon. Mind compared to his sides he probably was.. |

Cricket is so simple at times, hit 6, fielder goes back, easy single every time.
|
|
By:
very close.
probably umpire's call. |
|
By:
don't you just love this game!!!
|
|
By:
Thats 4 Taufel has got wrong..
|
|
By:
THIS DRS IS B@LLIX :(
|
|
By:
oh my life. honestly, after this im never trading cricket again.
|
|
By:
lol Morgan threatened my "no more than 10" call with those quick runs but restored my faith now!
|
|
By:
taufel is doing the right thing if you ask me. far better to say not out to the close ones and let the fielding team review it than to keep firing the batsman out when it's just clipping the top of the stumps
|
|
By:
got to be the end for morgan surely.
|
|
By:
150 tops for england. max, cant hget over 150, near on impossible
|
|
By:
yeah unfortunately will probably be bopara who gets recalled though ahead of Taylor, Patel, Hildreth, Davies, Hales etc
|
|
By:
I'm amazed that ball was hitting (according to Hawkeye).
This could bring down batting averages significantly. Prepare slow tracks, pick spinners and bowl straight. |

By:
at least there scoring runs each over at the moment
|
|
By:
That was a UDRS/Hawkeye wicket. Have to get the pad out of the way and by doing that you leave off stump exposed.
|
|
By:
it was also an arm ball that hit the seam and moved the wrong way
|
|
By:
Nightwatchman batting at 8?!
|
|
By:
pitch is blatantly underprepared.
different bounce/movement each ball. absolute nightmare for a batsman |
|
By:
Disgusting from England come on guys !!!

By:
3 balls chucked this over. 2 doosras and that abomination.
|
|
By:
Not seen any action. Am guessing the wicket simply isn't good enough for test cricket (England's inability to play spinners not withstanding?)
