eng lost 5 out of their last 9 d13. hammered last test. can see why they are favs.
|
|
By:
d1phe, yep they have a shocking record for stringing back to back wins together over the last few years even against moderate opposition at home. that's why they've drawn so many series they really should have won

can someone get a decent thread up for the first play looking at my forecast showers expect this afternoon but not particularly heavy forecast has improved a bit actually. |

hear hear he us a cretin! |

By:
Toss won by Eng...put saffers in to bat and no Swann...lots of risks there! Strauss said he looked at the pitch and the weather forecast!! It would be nice to have the Swann option just in case. Last night at Trent Brige it looked a seamers wicket and Surrey bowled 30 overs of spin!!! Hope Eng are right
|
|
By:
tough to back either team looking at that forecast, I can also see this wicket playing low and slow
|
|
By:
have a feeling finn will rip through them today
this pitch always does something early doors |
|
By:
will be an interesting first session.
sounds like the weather would make batting more suitable but the pitch may give a bit for the bowlers. England need to make decent in roads today, Strauss won't look too smart if SA cruise through the day then clear England up in gloomy weekend weather. |
|
By:
do we think it was Strauss's decision
this smacks of Flower imo can you imagine the Aussies ever leaving Warne out after one bad test. |
|
By:
do captains REALLY make the decision... i think no..
|
|
By:
plenty of pace in the wicket
|
|
By:
market says it's good to bat!
draw flying in, England flying out |
|
By:
glad I got on the draw at the start now, was gonna leave it a while, the forecast is awful for 3 days.
|
|
By:
been a while since i have seen such a big reaction to 17/0
Broad doesnt look up to the job at the moment big test match for him |
|
By:
awful bowling
|
|
By:
5.0 already?
|
|
By:
people are nervous after last test
|
|
By:
could be another long day in the field
i mean bowling to Smith with 2 slips and a gully and bowling on his legs which mastermind thought of that |
|
By:
they don't know how to bowl to smith
|
|
By:
hey Dirk hows things old chap ?
|
|
By:
they should just jeep dangling the carrot outside off like they did to Katich
players like Katich and smith just want you to bowl straight they very rarely miss them on these wickets |
|
By:
not too bad all things considered, having a nice relaxing summer - waiting for the football to start (easily my best money-maker), gjust gotn out of troublwe in the last test, on the draw here - you?
|
|
By:
broad lucky to keep his place imo
|
|
By:

players like Katich and smith just want you to bowl straight they very rarely miss them on these wickets >>>I agree, but they haven't done it. |
|
By:
i havent done anything yet , im waiting to lay draw 1.7 or sa 2.5 , going tomorrow so hope the betfair tents insitu !
Marks doing much better this year , you havent got a share in sahrati ? |
|
By:
time for finn
broad has looked average again |
|
By:

>>>I think you have me confused with someone else. |
|
By:
here is the bowler with better bowling averages than Broad, Anderson and Bresnan that cannot get in the team!
|
|
By:
sorry for confusion if the above means nothing i obviously have -good luck
|
|
By:
no worries, have a good test match chap.
|
|
By:
looks a different wicket already with Finn
|
|
By:
no 3rd slip ffs
what are they playing at? |
|
By:
this is ridiculous
how many does Cook have to drop at slip before he is discarded forver |
|
By:
broad shouldn't be anywhere near the new ball with finn in the side.
|
|
By:
draw is a cert here i'm afraid gents
prepare to lose i am coining it in |
|
By:
i think he may have chopped that onto his pad
|
|
By:
two aussies umpiring here btw
|
|
By:
well that was an interesting hour
could/maybe should have been 2 wickets |
|
By:
no chance of wickets on this flat pitch
prepare to see the draw straight line to 1.01 here gents |
