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.....

Are we farked yet?

by Basil Mon Sep 17, 2007 1:38 am

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

by Henry Mon Sep 17, 2007 1:39 am

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

by doctorspin Mon Sep 17, 2007 1:41 am

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 Mon Sep 17, 2007 1:42 am

Snape in for Maddy - KP to bat at 3.

by doctorspin Mon Sep 17, 2007 1:43 am

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 Mon Sep 17, 2007 1:47 am

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

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

by Henry Mon Sep 17, 2007 1:47 am

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 Mon Sep 17, 2007 1:48 am

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 Mon Sep 17, 2007 1:53 am

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 Mon Sep 17, 2007 2:02 am

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

by Basil Mon Sep 17, 2007 2:05 am

Duminy gone: 8 for 1

by doctorspin Mon Sep 17, 2007 2:06 am

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

by doctorspin Mon Sep 17, 2007 2:08 am

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 Mon Sep 17, 2007 2:11 am

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

by doctorspin Mon Sep 17, 2007 2:16 am

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

Look forward to that.

by doctorspin Mon Sep 17, 2007 2:19 am

Captain Fantastic GAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWNNNNN!!!!!!

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

by doctorspin Mon Sep 17, 2007 2:24 am

AB GAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWNNNNN!!!!!!

To Freddie BEAUTY (it really was a class delivery)

by doctorspin Mon Sep 17, 2007 2:27 am

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.
