Yeah, Yardy would have been a much better choice here, even Swanneh

King Pietersen · 08-05-2010, 12:45 PM

Morgan gone. This hasn't been a great end for England. I was hoping we'd get 175-180. Look like we're going to struggle to get 160 now.

superkingdave · 08-05-2010, 12:54 PM

Hmm, reckon we are about 20-25 short of a decent score, with our pace attack, 40-50 short

NasserFan207 · 08-05-2010, 12:56 PM

Reckon England have the edge with the extra spinner though.

It's entirely dependent on the start I think. If Sidearse starts decently and then Bresnan doesn't bowl too many gimme deliveries then we could defend it. Should certainly have got closer to 180 after the start. I'm fairly optimistic, reckon we've got a decent chance.

Fat Bresnan will be killed on this pitch. They should just bowl Colly or KP instead.

Sir Alex · 08-05-2010, 01:04 PM

England will have the backing of Pakistani supporters as well today. For them, this is a do or die match.

Reckon a lot dpends on Smith

If he's fit/in form, he has the game to bash the spinners out of the attack and that'll go a long way towards victory

However, as TEC mentioned, it's interesting that the previous game was a relatively low scoring affair so this could be a pretty good total

King Pietersen · 08-05-2010, 01:11 PM

4 free runs for Smith to start from Sidebottom. Such a terrible place to bowl to Graeme Smith. Go home Sid, seriously.

superkingdave · 08-05-2010, 01:11 PM

Pretty dreadful start from Sidebottom, 5 easy runs to Smith

King Pietersen · 08-05-2010, 01:17 PM

Surprisingly good start from Bresnan. Been right on the mark.

NasserFan207 · 08-05-2010, 01:18 PM

Typical lightning Yorkshire pace duo this.

King Pietersen · 08-05-2010, 01:19 PM

Stuart Broad in bowling half-trackers shocker. Quick Stuart, round the wicket!

chalky · 08-05-2010, 01:20 PM

Could have put your House on Broad to bowl a short one first up

NasserFan207 · 08-05-2010, 01:23 PM

Its pretty clear that the slower you bowl, the harder it is to play.
