dorlomin Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Seems the English batting has been flatted on a featherbed. They will be lucky to get to 230 from here it seems. Day one and an innings defeat seems on the cards. They will need to pull there socks up by some amount if they are to get into this test match.

Steve P Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 thought it would have been good for the batsmen out there today It is a good day for batsmen, it's just that we're sadly lacking in that department at the moment (bar Cook, Bell and Broad).

Nothing flash but decent unit all the same. The saffies are just ripping them to pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beermonster_c Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 (edited) talk to em people i am at work, anyone got it on the telly? Yeah i have it on the telly now, the bowling attack is looking pretty uninspired to be quite honest. Bowling too wide, S.A batsmen are not being made to play at enough deliveries and i dont think we could take 20 S.A wickets bowling like this if we stayed at Edgbaston and played for a fortnight.

worm Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 set up perfectly for tomorrow, so pleased i booked the day off. I think they're in too much bother. They're just trying to save this now. Should be an interesting morning though. Harmeson should have been picked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
