Think we can stop using KP's Achilles as an excuse for his weakness to the very full ball now.

Yeah it is just a meaningless phrase really and one which I would have thought is fairly a unrepresenative of the currrent New Zealand side (I have yet to hear anyone call Jesse Ryder and honest cricketer though)

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.
Largely agree with the first part of this but behind the way he looks I really cannot see him a long term success, certainly not at test level.

A batsman getting an official warning for timewasting? I don't remember ever seeing that before.

A really good reception from the crowd to Trott's 50, good to see.

No, nor me. Can't really see what we stand to gain from it either.

Don't wanna jinx Trotty (nice 50, btw), but when you see how at ease he looks rotating the strike and manufacturing strokes it really does beggar belief he's had to wait so long for a go.

Bowling a bonus too.

Well Cricinfo say he's starting to cramp and obviously he wouldn't fancy his chances of getting a runner.

He looks okay to soldier on, they still seem to be running pretty well together.
