The Winged Shadow Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Trott and Bell are both fighters so things will get slow now. If England loses wickets now they'd be in some huge trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paxter Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Have to give Clarke some serious credit - what a fantastic bowling change. Pattinson was swinging it a fair way but just wasn't getting it quite right to Cook, it would've been tempting to keep him on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xray the Enforcer Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Well, that's an inauspicious beginning for England. I turn on the test at the seventh over and... :stunned: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex. Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 We've looked really good, apart from our first three batsmen getting out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xray the Enforcer Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Shit, do I have to buy a monocle as well?Or maybe in keeping with my national origins, a giant boob hat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeor Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 England regrouping. They bat fearsomely deep with Swann at 10, a big first innings score is still not out of the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljkeane Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 That's a loose shot for Trott to get out to, he didn't really commit to doing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paxter Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Good recovery from England though, they should be able to post a decent-ish score now, which I didn't think they'd do after the disastrous start. Bairstow playing for his place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 That's happening far too often to Bairstow. He's got away with it this time but I think it might cost him place anyway because it's clearly a problem with his technique at this point.

Xray the Enforcer Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Awesome. Do you happen to know who his commentating partner is?
