First rate catch from Swann too. Catching the difference it must be said. 119/8.
And England's bowling attack isn't just two bowlers.

Well I took the dog for a walk about an hour ago because the game was getting flat and I come back to find I've missed 7 wickets has it been any good?

Indeed. It's three bowlers.

Proper tail-end mow for two from Baker. Onions must fancy the Michelle here 'cos Lionel looks poo. & right on cue it's edged & dropped. Collingwood shells a stiff-ish chance above his head. Pity.

Taylor should bat higher than Ramdin. Take out his 100 in that farcical game in the Windies and his average in the past 3 years is under 20. Worst batsman who keeps going.

Do you reckon Onions likes bowling long spells? Not sure the commentators have mentioned it!

Don't know. It's a feature of his bowling that he can take wickets in clumps- unlike say, Chris Tremlett, who takes one or two big wickets and doesn't concede many. Maybe that implies that he doesn't like bowling spell after spell.
