Darn my pic sucks

 

[SameerP]

Want KP to get a ton as usual but if he flops it would be brilliant.

Which side are u on? issed:

 

[CoolSERAZ]

something tells me kp will struggle but will score a lot of runs.

 

[SameerP]

Darn my pic sucks

True

 

[CoolSERAZ]

AND NO its not a bookie !!!

 

[James]

everything is good value with KP.

 

[Lara400]

This chap called Roshan on TMS just called Tuffers Ashley!!!!!

Its not the first time he has messed up! But he is quite poor in keeping a decent balance between neutral and commentator bias.

 

[James]

This chap called Roshan on TMS just called Tuffers Ashley!!!!

Haha, that is quality.

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

21/2

 

[Poison]

21-2

Looking good.

 

[CoolSERAZ]

cook was almost run out!

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Gone Gone Gone Gone Gone.

 

[CoolSERAZ]

kp out!!! i should stop predicting

 

[shahidafridi123]

Whippy you must be crying!

 

[cricketindiafan]

Another one gone. Lanka on top now.

 

[SameerP]

Pietersen you FOOL, What will happen to my entertainment now, I don't wanna watch SL bat today

 

[CoolSERAZ]

well i was right about 1 thing. KP did struggle

 

[SameerP]

kp out!!! i should stop predicting

Now I know you are not a bookie

 

[James]

Whippy you must be crying!

Why? SL are a rubbish team like, quality will tell in the end.

Three pretty crappy dismissals really.

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

Outttttttt!!

 

[Lara400]

uh oh Peters gone, come on England whats happening?!

To make matters worse heres blowers

 

[shahidafridi123]

Bell off the mark with a boundary!

 

[CoolSERAZ]

filthy end to the over by lakmal. superb over though.

 

[cricketindiafan]

In the last test played at Lord's, England were 100 odd for 7 down. Will we see a repeat here?

 

[Lara400]

Great start from blowers just called Bell, Trott.

 

[James]

I only noticed the bit where they were 434 all out and won by an innings...

 

[shahidafridi123]

So Whippy are you still gonna change ur pic or not?

 

[CoolSERAZ]

Great start from blowers just called Bell, Trott.

hmm. whom did they blow???

 

[James]

So Whippy are you still gonna change ur pic or not?

nah, wasn't a left slowie.

 

[James]

chance for a very rare 'Bell plays well under pressure' event

 

[James]

KP's figures for 2005-2008 being compared to 2009-2011 on Sky.

want. to. die.

 

[shahidafridi123]

Nasser to commentate now

 

[Amjid Javed]

Cook still there so england will keep battling.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

I owe Dilshan an apology - good start by his seamers.

 

[SameerP]

Why? SL are a rubbish team like, quality will tell in the end.

Three pretty crappy dismissals really.

SL is currently worse than Australia/Pakistan as a test team

 

[CoolSERAZ]

are these lankan bowlers? are these english/saffers/irish batsmen? is this earth?

 

[James]

I owe Dilshan an apology - good start by his seamers.

He's an away captain and chose to bat last in England. Rarely works. Will probably turn out to be a daft call.

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

[CoolSERAZ]

beauty from lakmal. he is really bowling well.

 

[shahidafridi123]

to Bell! Outside edge!

 

[SameerP]

Bell could have been out.. wth is going on?

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

34/3

 

[James]

I don't get why everyone is so blown away by the fact that bowlers are taking wickets with the new ball in English conditions. A global diet of flat wickets perhaps? This is pretty normal for a test in England really.

 

[jheenga]

does da surface warrant a 22/3 ?


-its 34/3 atm.

 

[CoolSERAZ]

^^maybe whippy cause "shitty" lankan attack is taking wickets.

 

[shahidafridi123]

to Cook!

 

[CoolSERAZ]

smashed by cook

 

[jheenga]

Unbelievable decision from Dilshan. Bowling first!! I almost had a heart attack.

lolz ...ab heart beats theek ho gayi ?
39/3 ..... can dey get eng for 300 or less ?

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

[James]

^^maybe whippy cause "shitty" lankan attack is taking wickets.

well they are rank bowlers. but Pommie Mbangwa could get Bradman out if he bowled the new ball in the right place one day. that's cricket.

 

[SameerP]

I don't get why everyone is so blown away by the fact that bowlers are taking wickets with the new ball in English conditions. A global diet of flat wickets perhaps? This is pretty normal for a test in England really.

Yea but you don't expect this bowling "attack" to get someone like Trott out

 

[SameerP]

Is hotspot available for Eng vs India series? It's a great piece of technology

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

39/3

 

[James]

Yea but you don't expect this bowling "attack" to get someone like Trott out

if he misses a straight one like everyone does sometimes (Bradman was bowled for a duck in his last test innings because he missed a straight one), it can happen.

three wickets is one thing but they still need another seventeen to even have a chance of winning. hold yer horses.

 

[jheenga]

i still dont see anything in the pitch & the sun is out .... though i just saw a site below[indvidz] which had a saucy lady checking herself out in da mirror -what kinda site is that?

 

[CoolSERAZ]

That was a jaffa!!!

It shows you how much the game of cricket is played in the mind!

 

[shahidafridi123]

Please don't remind me about that six Dhoni hit to seal India's world cup.

 

[MR__KHAN__JI]

It shows you how much the game of cricket is played in the mind!

I fear that now that KP has been "found out" - he will NEVER be the same again.

 

[James]

I don't like this arcade jingle they do in the update this year. Preferred the sunny Ashes piece.

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

40/3

 

[James]

I just think he can't be doing with it anymore. Slightly tragic to see the best upper-middle order player in the world slowly becoming one of the worst, but never mind nobody died.

 

[jheenga]

kp is in trouble -apart from batting woes,he does have attitude problem it seems.

 

[Lara400]

Well said!

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

Drinks break

 

[nish_mate]

Damn al the Saffers choke under a bit of pressure regardless for whom they turn out

 

[shahidafridi123]

to Cook!

 

[James]

kp is in trouble -apart from batting woes,he does have attitude problem it seems.

It's all mental. He doesn't have any batting woes and he never will. 227 in Adelaide and 51 in Melbourne were very recent and they were a pair of technical masterclasses. It's worth finding a video of that 51 - his bottom hand was amazingly rigid and his bat gun-barrel straight from the first ball. Some of the shots as a result were literally incredible. You have to be a player of genuine class to drive the ball straight past the non-striker's stumps and to the huge Melbourne boundary off a good length. He could easily be the best player in the world again if he put his mind to it.

 

[shahidafridi123]

Finally Fernando! Oh wait, its still Lakmal.

 

[SameerP]

Damn al the Saffers choke under a bit of pressure regardless for whom they turn out

lol Trott played some brilliant innings, against Pakistan was great under pressure. KP as well, Safffers only choke usually when there are 11 of them together

 

[SameerP]

I just think he can't be doing with it anymore. Slightly tragic to see the best upper-middle order player in the world slowly becoming one of the worst, but never mind nobody died.

I hope he gets his form back, it's sad seeing his face when he gets out.. lol

 

[CoolSERAZ]

@shahidafridi123 both have the MANE!!!

 

[saad1024]

Damn al the Saffers choke under a bit of pressure regardless for whom they turn out

Lol

 

[CoolSERAZ]

stunning analysis by nasser. awesome stuff.

 

[CoolSERAZ]

dilhara is mia. filthy start by mcgrath maharoof though.

 

[SameerP]

Does Nasser help out England players with his analysis? Maybe he should give some help to KP

 

[nish_mate]

lol Trott played some brilliant innings, against Pakistan was great under pressure. KP as well, Safffers only choke usually when there are 11 of them together

Maybe the infection has passed on when you get 5 of them as well


I think England need to look for a new foreign brigade

 

[SameerP]

stunning analysis by nasser. awesome stuff.

Another reason to love England tests, excellent commentary

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

Its mental...

BUT - I dont think its about him putting his mind to it... EVEN if he tries now...

People can see that he is an INSECURE person who puts on a BRAVADO....

Excellent bowlers can play with a persons mind when they see that....
