We will be mullered unless wickets start to fall.

Why isn't Monty getting spin, It's f***ing terrible. We really need to pull our finger out if we're gunna win this game.
I lumped on 6/5 on them getting LESS than 400.5

What an absolutely GASH performance on a flat track against average bowlers.

It was a minefield when we were batting, now it looks flat as anything. I put it down to shit bowling from us rather than the batsmenBilly the Fish said:
Panesar just hasn't got the guts or variation to be a threat. I tihnk he's living on borrowed time himself at the moment. Rashid is waiting in the wings and is a much more agressive bowler who may prove expensive at first but who better to teach a young leggie how to bowl at international level than Mushtaq?

As Shane Warn said, Panesar has played his first test 40 times

Swann should probably have played in this test.
We do not seem to have the fight we had 4 or 5 years ago.

It was probably going over.
I noticed that neither Freddie or Harmison were getting above about 85mph.

The spinning position is turning into a real problem for England. Panesar does nothing to justify his place, until he gets a wicket which suits his bowling (plenty of bounce and turn) and then he gets lots of wickets, making it hard to drop him.
I think Rashid is still a bit inexperienced, he apparently bowls a lot of crap balls, but I certainly think Swann should be in the team. He can bat and field much better as well!

Just a quiet guy.
Harmison and Anderson get away with it.

Monty does not try and get into the mind of the batsemen. he just trots up and delivers more or less the same ball six times.

Monty does struggle to find variation in his bowling and also lacks the control to "Tie down " one end.
Top spinners have the ability to read the wicket, and can use attacking bowling on good spinning wickets. Alternatively they can bowl for containment and reducing the scoring from one end while the strike bowlers are rotated at the other end to keep them fresh.
Monty just keeps doing the same whatever the wicket, someone needs to have a word. He's going for almost 4 an over and the Windies are just picking him off at will.
