Maybe I am reading too much into it but has anyone else noticed that Amla doesn't have Shepherd Neame on his shirt is this because he is Muslim or he just doesn't like shit beer!

it's the muslim thing. he has a similar set-up with the South African team - no beer logos for him. he really is a class player.

I'm getting sick of how much abuse Prior is getting. His wicketkeeping has improved immensely for England, but still they prefer Foster over him. All Foster did was one great stumping in a Twenty Twenty game and they're making him the next Alan Knott.

That is a difficult score to get under the lights, we'll need some good partnerships at the top of the order. Odds against a Sussex win I'm afraid.

Let's hope Wright can stay in for more than just a few overs this time.

 

[Taybha]

kept really well at cardiff imho if they want foster let the whingers have him, and then listen to them moan that he cant average nearly 50 with the bat. prior could and possibly should play as a specialist batsmen with that average, and without the added pressure of the gloves could maybe do better still!
