Yeah, I was really excited about him when he made his debut but have began to run out patience. Hoping he can turn it all around and show what he's about.

Hmm, as much as I'd like to slate Saj, that 6 totally down to colly. Been a curates egg in the field from England.

Scaly piscine · 22-11-2009, 04:34 AM

Pieman take some responsibility if he's getting hit that far by a tailender.

Pothas · 22-11-2009, 04:44 AM

Was hardly the greatest over either, poor Saj, at least he provides some amusement.

grecian · 22-11-2009, 04:50 AM

That Strauss drop would of been Colly's 100th wouldn't it?

Not too many Englishmen have done that.

Pothas · 22-11-2009, 04:56 AM

Can't help but think they are taking the praise of Bresnan a little bit far, I am probably biased against him by the fact that he is described as an 'honest' cricketer, anyone described as such lacks the talent for international cricket.

5 so far. Gough, Flintoff, Anderson, Botham and DeFreitas.

Yeah, but people just call Bresnan "honest" because when he bowls he looks like a chubby little Yorkshireman trying to get away from an angry sheep. It's all aesthetics. If he looked like the Fonz everyone would accuse him of being a mercurial lazy guy who isn't really trying half the time.

He bowls 85mph with decent enough accuracy and swings it, and he can hold a bat. Truth is, he's a reasonably good prospect for England.

Waaaaay overrated for mine. Drops far too many catches. Not even in the same league as De Villiers or Symonds.

Briony · 22-11-2009, 05:22 AM

Not a very good score from SA, a bit mediocre and they never seemed to get going.

kingkallis · 22-11-2009, 05:25 AM

Finally some runs....good stroke by Trotty!

AB and Ponting are the two amazing fielders that come to mind of current players, but I'd put Collingwood in the bracket under that quite happily.

"Honest" A word that's used to describe every single New Zealand cricketer when on tour, I would hope we have a few better player's then the likes of Bresnan.
