I wouldnt trust sunday/mondays forecast, it will probably say its 30 degrees tomorrow.

I dont think you can declare with 3 days to go based on the weather, I say pile them on. In any case id get to 600 purely for the intimidation factor.

Would be funny if they did! 'Yeah we dont think we can win, so we will just forfeit for a draw, cheers for coming.'

What does that feel like?!

That is the precedent. All that came out that sorry affair is that my regard for Michael Holding has been even further enhanced.

Yeah, mine too. And it is a dangerous precedent.

Cricinfo just credited 2 leg byes to Bell. Unfortunately they changed it sharpish

by JKLever Fri 11 Jul 2008, 17:31

Is that it for today then do we think?

And if it is does Vaughan do the dirty on Bell tomorrow morning?

by embee Fri 11 Jul 2008, 17:32

If he bats on ...it'll be a half Lara

by Guest Fri 11 Jul 2008, 17:35

And so another restart.
How frustrating for Bell.

by Guest Fri 11 Jul 2008, 17:43

Lateralass definitely knows how to block.

He bottled it. Tough shit but he has only got himself to blame.

by JKLever Fri 11 Jul 2008, 17:52

20 overs left in the day according to Crocinfo. We're not going to get them all in are we?

by LeFromage Fri 11 Jul 2008, 17:52

Ha ha ha ha - what a f*ck up.

Played anyway, Bellend.

by Lara Lara Laughs Fri 11 Jul 2008, 17:53

Ah well, "nice" numbers like 100 and 200 are all in our minds.

by Guest Fri 11 Jul 2008, 17:54

didnt see any of this session so i cant say... but c&b never sounds good.

still, he should have many more chances if he can apply himself like that again. Thats the key to his test place, he cant rest on his laurels now.

fair enough to declare... wouldnt want to bowl with a soggy wrap of leather though

by embee Fri 11 Jul 2008, 17:54

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
