Good toss to lose.

3 Tests in and they're still bowling too F*CKING short.

Sack that Aussie now.

...so why did Fatty Finn not open the bowling instead of Lady Di?

Different ball, that swings more. Different conditions. There really is no debate about the vast superiority of the English team.

And certainly won't hurt to bowl to batsmen who get bowled on straight up and down balls....

Cashing in on gashing it. That is what is happening just here. Cash. Gash.

Absolutely - the 6fer he took in the last test counts for nothing.

by Brass Monkey Thu 21 Mar 2013, 23:12

Bage. It is all so very bage.

You make it sound like Soho on a clean night.

I might just possibly be referring to the six wickets he took in the second test. I can understand your confusion, it's been a while since an Aussie bowler took six wickets in an innings.

by Henry Thu 21 Mar 2013, 23:23

We are rubbish. F*cking hair-brained bowlers. And if Rutherford stays in, he will murder Monty with those short straight boundaries.

by Brass Monkey Thu 21 Mar 2013, 23:24

I'd probably say the bowling has been abysmal. It has been an awful display. A display of how not to bowl when your captain has inserted the opposition in to bat.

by PeterCS Thu 21 Mar 2013, 23:26

BRING ON THE AUSSIES eh?

by horace Thu 21 Mar 2013, 23:26

over his last 5 matches he has taken 12 wickets at around 40

by Brass Monkey Thu 21 Mar 2013, 23:28

Well. Finally. Strange tactic. Strange old tactic.

by Brass Monkey Thu 21 Mar 2013, 23:33

This session: wank. Worth the wait.

by Henry Thu 21 Mar 2013, 23:37

Remember the length, Finny.
