We all love Monty but; if playing only 4 bowlers, 2 spinners is a bit of a luxury.
Also Finn is becoming what we have been searching for since Harmy became shit

Re: The Summer's Cricket.
 

How many no ball's in one over, i smell a rat. 4 so far, only two balls to count.

Re: The Summer's Cricket.
 

England are just about to start their Twenty20 innings. 145 to win.

Re: The Summer's Cricket.
 

Oh dear. :(

Re: The Summer's Cricket.
 

Oh deary, dear.

Re: The Summer's Cricket.
 

Well, at least we finished on a high.

I'd have traded the silly hit & giggle T20 wins for some success in the Tests, but I guess that's just me being grumpy old cricket fan and not a hip young thing into all the showbiz stuff.

Roll on Sri Lanka. Anybody else thinks Mr Morgan has earned himself a few extra weeks at home with the family after that nightmare of a tour... ?

Re: The Summer's Cricket.
 

the Saffas kicked the black caps' arses but at least the final test was ok. :frown:

Re: The Summer's Cricket.
 

Our batting collapsed again. :(

Re: The Summer's Cricket.
 

unfortunately I can relate. :thumbdown:

Re: The Summer's Cricket.
 

Broady on his way home:( Expect to see Bresnan picked for the second test, to bolster the batting. Regardless of the fact that Finn could well be a genuine world class quick.

Re: The Summer's Cricket.
 

One could argue that Finn and Broad are too similar and that Bresnan would be a welcome change, although I doubt if they'll play 3 pace bowlers. To collapse like the last match after Trott had put them in with a good shout, was disheartening.

Re: The Summer's Cricket.
 

One could also argue that the windies needn't have played Ambrose and Walsh as they were too similar.

I don't think we scored enough first innings last time out.

Re: The Summer's Cricket.
 

I'll probably jinx it but it looks like a solid start again for England on day 3 of the last test. :thumbup:

Re: The Summer's Cricket.
 

I don't think you jinxed KP. What's your view on the switch hit fracas ? If the batsman is brave enough...let 'em.

Pitch sounds like some uneven bouce - should be good for Finn with turn for Swann / Patel.

Personally, I think including Time 'lucky talisman' Bresan was the key - when skill fails, rely on superstition. :fingerscrossed:
