What are the odds on Matt Prior scoring 15 off 20 balls before holing out to mid on? Get Fred up there opening. Wont happen, though. What with Moores getting polished nicely by the bald headed one every night.....

by doctorspin Sun 16 Sep 2007, 16:38

Are we farked yet?

by Basil Sun 16 Sep 2007, 16:38

Just as well it's a 20/20 game - that pitch won't last much longer than that!

by Henry Sun 16 Sep 2007, 16:39

The Cape Town outfied makes every lofted shot react like a Tiger Woods sand wedge from 80 yards.

by doctorspin Sun 16 Sep 2007, 16:41

The useless tosser actually wins the toss (FFS) and we are bowling so will be chasing 410 under lights.......FFS!

We are farked. (But probably not as farked as if we were batting first.)

by Basil Sun 16 Sep 2007, 16:42

Snape in for Maddy - KP to bat at 3.

by doctorspin Sun 16 Sep 2007, 16:43

Gibbs still not fit.....still farked though.

Meanwhile in Aus they're showing a replay of England getting hammered in the Ashes series just to get me in the mood....

Aye, not the most sensible choice methinks.

by JKLever Sun 16 Sep 2007, 16:47

Not sure we actually have a 'strategy' either way!!

We've obviously decided Maddy & Kirtley aren't up to it

by Henry Sun 16 Sep 2007, 16:47

I think chasing is better for England in this form of the game. At least the likes of Prior will know how aggresive they have to be.

by JKLever Sun 16 Sep 2007, 16:48

At least fielding 2nd you have 2 shots at the game I suppose.

Though not if they cream us for 220

Some of us might settle for 220 JK! Wink

Ooh, a spicy start as Collingwood and Smith exchange not handshakes, but frosty looks at the toss. Go Colly you little battler.

by doctorspin Sun 16 Sep 2007, 16:53

TBH, even though chasing under lights isn't great, we are so carp at setting a target (not so dissimilar to many other teams) that it is probably best to have the other team set the target so we know how to pace the innings.

by doctorspin Sun 16 Sep 2007, 17:02

Jebus....3 good balls from Jimmy and then a succession of wides. WTFFFS!

by Basil Sun 16 Sep 2007, 17:05

Duminy gone: 8 for 1

by doctorspin Sun 16 Sep 2007, 17:06

BROAD!!!!!! WADDAGUY!!!!!!

by doctorspin Sun 16 Sep 2007, 17:08

Naz likes The Useless Tosser's decision of bowling first, not least because it is what Captain Fantastic wouldn't have wanted.

Whoops, Broad getting a bit of tap.

by doctorspin Sun 16 Sep 2007, 17:11

Why is fine leg never fine enough??????

by doctorspin Sun 16 Sep 2007, 17:16

So how will Captain Fantastic cope with Snape's Moon ball?

Look forward to that.

by doctorspin Sun 16 Sep 2007, 17:19

Captain Fantastic GAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWNNNNN!!!!!!

Sh*t, we will never know how he would have coped with the moon ball.

by doctorspin Sun 16 Sep 2007, 17:24

AB GAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWNNNNN!!!!!!

To Freddie BEAUTY (it really was a class delivery)

by doctorspin Sun 16 Sep 2007, 17:27

Flintff is just such an amazing bowler. Even with an obviously painful front ankle, he is almost faultless in his L&L and at pace. If he really is almost over as a bowler it is nothing short of a cricket tragedy.
