PaulC Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I'm a member too but haven't been much. Giles has gone, we've had a change of management with dougie taking over as director if cricket. We've had several players called up for England duty, hardly seen woakes or rankin all season. Key players like barker have been injured most if the season and because of that the weakness of our top order has showed up. With most of these players available now I expect us to shoot up the table, we have always been crap in t20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Half centuries for Cook and Pietersen, then both the 'tards get themselves out. Beginning of the end I reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 200 lead here and I'd fancy us to do it. Spin and reserve swing. New ball due in 8 overs, very interesting afternoon session coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Yes it's not easy out there, 200 will be competitive. 250 will be ideal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 England are playing too conservatively at the moment for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milfner Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 Reckon Clarke regrets taking the new ball so soon, had it reserving and it was keeping low. Odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 Prior gone. Need someone from the tail to add in a 30 or 40 here desperately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milfner Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) Lead of 206 and looking relatively comfortable. *waits for inevitable collapse of the tail* Edited July 12, 2013 by Milfner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted July 12, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2013 Even if we do collapse, a lead of 206 is decent at the moment. 100 partnership between Broad & Bell and we'll piss it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 assuming Agar doesn't repeat his first innings feat then 200 will more than be enough but lets knock up a few more runs to be on the safe side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panto_Villan Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 We want to bat some of tomorrow too - we'll want them to do their chasing on a pitch that is ripe for spin. Nice to see Bell has delivered when his team need him (for once). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted July 12, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2013 We still have Swann to come who can get quick runs. It's looking more and more likely we'll have enough runs on the board to do this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oaks Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 The fact that we will probably have 4 bowlers in the second innings will be big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted July 12, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted July 12, 2013 The fact that we will probably have 4 bowlers in the second innings will be big. Broad isn't 100% though, so we may have a problem there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
