Well the tentative start did not help England it actually cost them, but then you argue what if they went hard and lost a wicket?
All credit to the bowler beautiful delivery you can see why he could not leave it or play it safely to the legside i was pitched just outside off stump but cutting in which put Strauss in doubt that it might knock him over and he decided to nibble at it, and only got the edge to be dismissed for 8 not the start the England wanted and not the start the capitan wanted.
New Batsman - Ian Bell
So Bell arrives at the crease with some pressure on his back but he has proven time and time again that he is one solid batsman plays good at home can get big runs and slowley but crucialy take the game away from the opposition, he will have to stick at it though coming in this early was not the plan but its happened so what can he show us?
Yup like the way you presented the new batsman's stats. Coming to the match, yup no doubt, a big blow. Strauss is an important batsman and to lose him early might hurt England.
Presentation is perfect... I was just traversing thru the the three pages and the base for the storyline ( like players arriving in airport etc ) is well set! Also the batsman stats enhance this beauty further!
Regarding the update, Martin striked at right time taking the crucial wkt of Strauss! I am backing NZ for entire series
It's came out of nowhere England lost one then lost 2 then lost 3 somehow they just had a really bad batting spell, lost Strauss but then you think ok it will stable but no Bell looked promising working the ball about while Cook just settled in as he had got of the hook a few times edging it funnily enough........of a hook shot, but it was no thread as it didn't carry.
So then just as Bell was looking in good touch he completely miss judges a Off Cutter which pitch doutside leg and trapped him on the pad height wasnt the matter but further replays shot it might have just missed, but in live action it looked plumb!
Collingwood was dissapointing to say the least he got bat on ball a few times but then just went for a poke on the legside walking across his stumps and missing the ball, your always giving a chance to the bowler by walking across early, so Franklin has been on the money early morning but can he carry on now?
New Batsman - Kevin Pietersen!
Well what to say ok you have the wickets but then seeing this guy come in is not the best sight in the world he has been in positions like this against the best in the world and can be so dominant and plus the whole tailend is barley exposed so he can build up then fire big time, but will he do it soon or will e build up and support Cook or is it the other way around Cook looks really tentative?
