Trott's patience and technique is boring. Amla's admirable. meh.

yep because they're mutually exclusive concepts

It's the beard. I could stare at it all day.

Trott needs to grow one, a big one.

 

[BeeGee]

Trott needs to grow one, a big one.

Lack of beard is certainly a deficiency in Trott's game. Needs to work on that in the nets.

He needs to shave it off, harbours all sorts of nasties. Food, v**inal fluid, flies, fly eggs, etc, etc, etc.

Horrible things imo, and his is the result of a belief in an imaginary being.

 

[Stumpcam]

Sky showing a England v SA game from about 1000 years ago. I think Kallis is the only player on either side who is still playing now.

He's played at the top level for a very long time, that Kallis bloke.

Whatever dude, your probably just jealous you can't grow one

Amla is a ***y man

 

[Spikey]

Presumably Amla washes it

 

[Furball]

Lol, just seen the HawkEye for the Petersen wicket.

Umpire's Call on a ball smashing into leg stump. ****ing joke.

Saw that, it was literally the full ball smashing in to leg stump as well.

 

[Uppercut]

Broad not finding any swing?

 

[Jacknife]

Beat him all ends up that.

No there's been bugger all swing since that bit of rain we had around the 7th over mark, both seamers were getting it go before that.

 

[Stumpcam]

But Broad has never really been a big swinger of the ball. Nothing like Jimmy does, in any case.

EDIT: I don't know why Jimmy isn't bowling tbh.

The last couple of years though he does get the outswinger going especially since he started bowling fuller. When he started his spell at the start of the innings he was getting it to go.


Hasn't got it right around the wicket to Smith yet, not too sure about the move tbh.

 

[MW1304]

No no no. Not this bloody round the wicket to the left hander thing again, it just feeds his strength. You might be able to get Jimmy to try it with his outswinger but otherwise its stupid.

 

[Jacknife]

Really could do with at least one wicket tonight, preferably the Captain.

Can't believe they haven't given Anderson another spell.

 

[Stumpcam]

Following the rain, and with clearing skies overhead, this pitch looks very benign now.

 

[Jacknife]

Ball isn't doing a bloody thing, looks like yesterday pitch now.

Lets see if Jimmy can get it to sing.

No, stone cold straight.

 

[Stumpcam]

I think there was a hint of inswing on Bresnan's first ball in this over.
