This isn't a OD game Zorax. ;)
Dhoni has batted six in tests
KKD has opened
Sanga at 5
Taibu all over I think. :p But yea, he has batted 5 before I think in Tests.
Gilly is the only exception.

In your dreams :p
McCullum over Roberts! McCullum over Roberts!

I'd be proud too have McCullum in my team. Not so for Roberts, his debut season hasn't been very good at all IMO.
 
what do u mean, he's bowled really well and he is starting to perform with the bat
 
C'mon Matty, thrash Sussex up the buttocks!

Expecting a 10-fer in both innings' Matthew :p
 
Mastered by Mushy

May 3rd 2007 - Me = Useless against spin. At least that's how I felt when I was completely outfoxed by Mushtaq Ahmed. My innings started off fairly positively as I played some solid defensive strokes and ran well. I also played a thumping backfoot stroke for four off James Kirtley in my very first over.

Flayed away; I smash Kirtley away for an early boundary.

I was feeling really confident of a big innings on what was a tricky pitch, but then Mushy came on. Funnily enough, I played a textbook coverdrive against his very first ball and it was misfielded over the boundary rope for 4 so I thought luck was on my side.

That'll do; I don't mind how they come, as long as they come.

It all came to an end 3 balls later when a superb flipper from Mushy was thrown my way. I didn't pick it at all and my woe against spinners continues.

Bamboozled; Never has a flipper been so comprehensive.

All in all it was a pretty bad batting performance for Lancashire as we could only muster up a paltry 202 a/o. I wasn't too dejected from a team perspective as I thought this pitch was worsening by the minute and personally, I couldn't wait to bowl on it.

There was only really Sutty who stood out for us today.
 
wow GREAT presentation Evo! Im sure you'll be alright in this match mate...early wickets will be the key to this match!
 
The start of the innings will be the key. A few early wickets would make for an interesting contest (even though it always is :))
 
quite a poor start for the lancashire lads they need to improve
