My God Doherty is village.
From this position anything less than 400 would be dire. I would be looking at 500+ by the end of tomorrow giving yourself a chance of an innings win.

It's all good. I've had this to keep me going: YouTube - Kevin Pietersen Playing Blindfold Cricket - The Ashes 2010 - Brylcreem Commercial - [HD]
KP better not get out to Doherty here. He's bowling absolute pie.FTR, I know that video's more than likely fake.

Trouble is for the plan to work you need the bloke to implement it not to be a totally useless clown. Could be fun to watch before tea, runrate won't slow down anyway.

it's crazy that KP has allowed himself to get into this position, not that he gets out to las but that he lets it get to him.
This is the same player who smashed warne and murali with contempt?
It's also a farce that Doherty has been picked for this purpose, and that this is even a 'battle'.
All of KP's doing.

I think the worst thing is that he's not even even bits-and-pieces. Okay, he's a pretty average spinner, but so are all of Australia's options. He's a number nine bat though and he doesn't have great hands - he's been picked as a specialist bowler and I'm telling you now that he wouldn't get anywhere near Bangladesh or Zimbabwe's Test teams. He's just not contributing at all. Get O'Keefe in - even if he averages 80 with the ball like Doherty (which I doubt he would - honestly he's a much better bowler) he'll take catches at gully and score runs.

It was just such a bizzare selection. O'Keefe has achieved just as much as Doherty with the ball and is a far superior bat and fieldsman. If they wanted a SLA to get Pietersen out... surely you'd go for the SLA that got Pietersen out?

They'd have been as well giving Smith the series for experience.
