    Australia tour of West Indies March-April 2011/12

    Warner has been getting a lot of stick, mostly from Holding, about not being a test batsman but im not really sure why. Yeah he plays a lot of attacking shots, but hes pretty good at them so why not, and he is exactly the sort of batsman test cricket needs to see plenty of if it wants to stay...

    The Middlesex/Surrey game looked a good one, Middlesex getting the final wicket with 3 runs to spare, Surrey should have a look at the 32 extras they gave away in the first innings, more than the other 3 innings put together, and 12 no balls in an innings is very poor Lanc's looking excatly how...

    Australia tour of West Indies March-April 2011/12

    watching Sunil Narine bowl in the IPL right now, he looks an excellent bowler. If the pitch is such that there may be 2 spinners in the teams then why the hell is this guy in India? What is wrong with the WICB? :facepalm

    England in Sri Lanka March-April 2011/12

    It's all about when the batsman changes To the switch hit stance. If its during the delivery that's fine but if it's during the run up and the bowler stops then it's not. Surely the bowler wants them to do it as early as possible so he has more time to change where he is planning to bowl...

    England in Sri Lanka March-April 2011/12

    So, 9 innings to work out how to play in these conditions. As long as we have 4 warn up matches in India then we should be fine. Strauss did really well under intense pressure today, but he will, and should, be dissapointed with the cut which got him out as he had batted very well until then...

    England in Sri Lanka March-April 2011/12

    Mark Butcher has just said England should play another bowler in the next game! I think England should play 8 batsman to just attempt to not lose as I have no hope that they can possibly win a test match in these conditions

    England in Sri Lanka March-April 2011/12

    18 England wickets fall to spin, fully expect Sri Lanka to drop one of the two seamers for the second test, they dont need two! Cant wait to hear the England excuses :rolleyes Sri Lanka played well, but i really believe England lost this game due to truly pathetic shot selection for the...

    Looking forward to seeing how Lancashire cope with chasing a target today, as long as we get the last 2 wickets quickly. Our bowling attack looks so good this year, Kyle Hogg hasn't even made the team for this game as were playing 2 spinners, but I cant wait till Prince joines up with the team...

    England in Sri Lanka March-April 2011/12

    Its always harsh to criticise a bowler for losing his wicket when batsman, and I use that word very loosely, have spent the last few months doing there best Chris Martin impressions, but that was an awful shot from Swann, yet another from this team. If you cant play spin, then please dont try...

    England in Sri Lanka March-April 2011/12

    Wasnt expecting England to get anywhere near the target, but to get into such a great position, and to end it with such poor shot selection is even more disappointing that getting steamrolled by Pakistan somehow. Great innings by Trott, was exactly what England needed, if more players could...

    England in Sri Lanka March-April 2011/12

    Thats exactly what Patel just did I really dont get that choice of shot. There are massive gaps in the field and singles for the taking, really easy singles which have worked for England all day, yet Patel decided the best option was to smash a shot against the spin to an area where there...

    England in Sri Lanka March-April 2011/12

    Strauss :facepalm yet another England batsman getting themselves out. to come down the wicket but still be so far away from the pitch of the ball is shocking. If England get 200 here I will be astonished.

    Just heard that Manning is being signed by the Broncos! What the hell is going to happen to Tebow? Manning is still a top quality player, but that is a terrible decision as they have to trade Tebow now as he is too good to sit on the bench, and a $100 million contract means they have to start...

    England in Sri Lanka March-April 2011/12

    Interesting team from England today, Cook being left out to let Patel and Ravi have a shoot out for the number 6 spot maybe? Wonder who is going to open? Prior, Bell or Trott most likely, and Id expect it to be Trott with Bell in at 3 where he said he wants to bat and did so pretty successfully...

    The pressure on Strauss right now reminds me of the tour of New Zealand when he was apparently 1 test away from being dropped and he responded with a fantastic ton and then some really good form. Hope he can respond this time like he did then

    This brings back memories of the big number 23, Marc-Vivien Fo?. I really hope we don't end up with the same outcome.
