Bearwithme Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 A 50 for Kallis in his last Test. Would be nice if he could get the ton but we'll see.... SA 250 for 4. Looks like they're heading for a good first innings lead over India. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Well that was spectacular even for England. I've got absolutely no faith in our bowling attack being able to repeat their first innings effort either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ad Lib Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I went to bed just after Root got the caught behind overturned. Ooft. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I went to bed fully expecting to see England with a commanding lead, and the Aussies facing a nigh-on impossible batting task. Almost pished myself laughing to see that they'd somehow been fucked out for 179 and the Aussies already on 30-0. I actually still think England will bowl Australia out. History is against them at this ground, and they'll need to surpass their own first innings total to do it. Hopefully they will though. England's tail has been fucking woeful throughout the series. The Aussie bowlers have ripped through it time and time again like a particularly strong curry. Conceding a five-fer to Lyon really is plumbing the depths though. Diabolical cricket from England. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I went to bed at lunch thinking much the same, couldn't believe they managed to lose all their wickets for 129 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jupiter Jazz Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I presumed the whole idea of dropping Nick Compton in the summer was because they wanted an attacking batsman in first up. After the overrated Root they went for Carberry and he's lost all his attacking instincts and has become turgid to watch, much like this England side as a whole, under Cook and Flower. As for Jonny Bairstow, he was simply a dreadful selection in the first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearwithme Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 The England selectors have a big job after this series. Carberry surely can't be kept in. Root should be pushed down the order if not left out (for a while at least). They should look at wicket-keeping options. There's no satisfactory spinning option.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carberry and Root have been largely shite. Panesar should be fucked into oblivion as well. A bang average international spinner with absolutely no fielding or batting ability whatsoever, and as well as an atrocious wicket-taking celebration. I quite enjoy watching MJ bowl against him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WullieBroonIsGod Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 The selectors and Cook have a big ask now. Will KP hang about? Who is the spinner? Who bats 3? Who opens? Who takes over from Prior? Time to rebuild. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowdencolt Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Bit of a slack shot by Warner. Lack of discipline on his part. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
