Lucky Prior was protected by Bressie

Pitch is doing all sorts now.

New ball certainly talks on this wicket.

ROFL!

Harris is a beast!

Although if he's getting this movement with the ball then what England will do with it in their first 20 overs of pie-chucking...

Rhino has looked a class above the rest of our trundlers.

by baggygreen Mon Aug 12, 2013 6:39 pm

You get the breakthrough then you let them get boundaries. Does Clarke and the bowlers not realise that's more runs they have to chase down? FFS.

Hello? Golfing fanatics? There's golf on.

Rhino gets no. 6 with a snorter to Sturat.

by baggygreen Mon Aug 12, 2013 6:46 pm

20 runs that wicket cost us. Expensive.

Meanwhile, I can't watch. Turn on tv - boundaries. Turn it off - wicket

by skully Mon Aug 12, 2013 6:47 pm

Target is borderline-out-of-reach. Another 20 or 30 from Brezzy-Chinn-Jimmeh will completely fark us.

Got to let them have a go at it to get them out

by baggygreen Mon Aug 12, 2013 6:50 pm

Bell and now Bresnan winning the match. Bresnan. Bresnan ffs.

by OP Tipping Mon Aug 12, 2013 6:52 pm

14 off the over.

With this pitch, the application of our tail enders at the top is going to be tested.

Bird bowling himself out of the side.

Desperately missing Pattinson I think.

by Henry Mon Aug 12, 2013 6:56 pm

Vital runs these from Bresnan. His best test innings to date.

by OP Tipping Mon Aug 12, 2013 6:57 pm

Bird unsurprisingly taken out of the attack

by skully Mon Aug 12, 2013 6:57 pm

We may fall in a heap for a big loss, but if we get close, the final 5 wickets in our 1st innings and England's 2nd innings will be the difference. We capitulated lamely, while England's tail has wagged brilliantly.

Easily. By country miles. Was going to post it on that desperado Bresnan thread, but here'll do.

Aye, perfect knock under the circumstances.

by PeterCS Mon Aug 12, 2013 6:59 pm

Pressure runs. As we all said: Bat Brez at 6. Wink

Putting his county compatriots to utter shame.

No better demoralisation than the worm turning.

Even better than a Belly ton Wink

by PeterCS Mon Aug 12, 2013 7:04 pm

Neither zip in the pitch nor enough swing for Sid.

He looks a different bowler from his constant menace in the rest of the series.
