cheers,
yes I was referring to the rugby .. ref cam/mike is in for internationals , and the premiership was the guiness one
Needs solid batting tomorrow, have we got the players to do that though ? Pieterson and Flintoff can bat , but can they occupy the crease to.... a quick 30 or 40 isn't what's required in this situation imo ...

I was on about the Rugby, not the Football?

Bell appears to be defying his critics ( including me ). Looks much happier against spin than high quality seam ...
I'd like to criticize Pieterson for getting out to a daft shot ... but I guess after he's got 100+ playing like that I can't moan too much...

Play for a win or stick with a draw?
After the slagging I gave Bell (end) during the ashes I might have to reconsider. Still there plenty of dropped catches in the lad yet......

Looked like a good result in the end. Too many wickets too quickly for my sphincter to cope with
At least Bell is back to form.......NOT

********** 3rd Test ***********
Giles looks crocked ( leave him out FFS! ) Vaughn back opening . Apparently jimmy's going to play.
Still think the smart money ( and mine ) is on a draw. Pak won't want to lose this and draw the series ...

Same old same old really, England are useless touring (especially in the sub continent) but very hard to beat when playing at home. Just compare the county pitches with those pitches played anywhere else in the world, its just a different game abroad which is why when visitors play us in England they find us tough to beat.
We have unique pitch conditions with maybe only New Zealand getting close to what we play on. We are used to green wickets, Australia, South Africa, West Indies, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka just don't have green pitches ever. We play on hard dry pitches abroad and we can't handle the pace, bounce or spin because we don't get to play against it at home.

What did I say? Inzaman - run out! Gotta love the podgy little fella......
Slow going at the moment. We need to bring back Peter Such.... how long did he last padding away the ball? 4 hours?

3-1. Not good. Looks like the fans have deserted England now they're back to losing ways? Anyway, good effort by Rudolph at the WACA to deny Oz a win.
