It was always unrealistic to expect the middle order to come in and immediately score at twice the rate of two set batsmen. I guess who you blame will depend on what you were saying about Trott & bell 30 minutes ago.

The entire batting order are to blame. The top 3 for batting too slowly and putting pressure on the last 15, then chucking their wickets away once settled; and the following 3/4 for throwing their wickets away cheaply. Just been an all-round shocking batting display. We'll do well to get 260 from here.

"fast yorkers" or pies

No idea why Starc is bowling as his extra pace will help the batsmen

 

[Maximas]

"Starc will bowl fast yorkers" He bowls a short pie first up.

 

[NUFAN]

actually i think we're already over...

minus 5 minutes and counting

Cheers. That's not good. Of course when Trott bats for any length of time he wastes a few balls, we had that Bopara hit wicket check which was a waste, but I don't think we could justify being anything more than 2 overs behind, we are going to end up 20-25 over..

 

[Hurricane]

Bresnan has the right idea. Ravi needs to realise they can't get bowled out here.

 

[Spark]

Top spell from Faulkner.

Weird that Johnson and Watson have only bowled 7 each.

EDIT: And Starc completes his complement at more than 7...

 

[King Pietersen]

Shot Rav. More of those needed!

Starc bowled far too many

Mind you, Watto is gash at the end

Yeah weird alright. I can understand Watto not getting through 10, but MJ should have. Warney pretty much just said what I was thinking, Starc shouldn't have bowled his last 2 overs.

 

[Spark]

well that's silly

 

[King Pietersen]

Ravi gets away with one there, that should have been out. Still reckon we'll be 30 runs short.

 

[uvelocity]

thats some bad fielding, have seen bailey drop those before too

 

[the big bambino]

Thinking same that its a bit of a waste leaving 3 of Watson's in the shed while Starky was getting reamed.

 

[kingkallis]

Watto wouldnt have been that bad! Bad day for Starc...

 

[kingpin]

Bopara innings may be the difference b/w the two sides!!

 

[uvelocity]

bloke walks across his stumps and shows you 3, so you pitch it wide anyway

now baulks. just hit leg stump dickhead

 

[NUFAN]

Scaly choking on his ham sandwiches as we speak.

Top knock Ravi.
