[The Great Cornholio]

115-3 Tresco out

 

[JJ McClure]

All three out trying to play a sweep shot, nice one lads

 

[Stinky Kat]

Colly and Peterson to steady the ship

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I remember three or four good sweep shots from Matty Prior vs Surrey in the 20/20. They should take note

 

[CHAPPERS]

Poor shot selection from Vaughan and Bell (especially), Banger was unlucky. Bell should not have been sweeping at the delivery he got out to.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

153 for 3. Colly and KP digging in.

Not too much work on, so I have time to carry out these rituals......

KP Gone. 183/4

 

[Parson Henry]

Peiterson gone just before Tea.....

 

[Simster]

184/4 now. Not looking too clever on that pitch. We'll need 400+ to have a chance of winning and I can't see us getting it.

 

[CHAPPERS]

On a plus note I'm glad Plunkett got the call ahead of Anderson.

We'll need at least 350 on this pitch to put any kind of pressure on the Pakistanis, especially because we don't seem to be able to get Inzy out.

Agreed. I think we needed another hit the deck bowler to take the pressure off Freddie and Harmy, a bit. Plus if light is beginning to fade towards the end of the day, would be an advantage to have Plunkett bowling with his height.

Where is Gary Pratt when you need him......

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Freddies disappointing form with the bat continues.
