Australia 278-7 giles 3-63 maybe we were too hasty to want him out he is causing more problems than the seamers on this pitch, you ALWAYS need a spinner in the team
Yes but this wicket isnt a Seaming wicket, Vaughan and Piterson can both spin the ball. If either of them bowled they'd be causing as many problems as Giles.
I dont belive that, look at giles test record over the last 18 months, vaughan cant take wickets anway th egame is going very well indeed time to build up a decent lead
I would drop bell for the next test as he is not in good for nor was he in county cricket and bring in colly, thats the only change i would make
I wouldnt bring in Colly at 4, I'd only bring Colly in for Giles. I'd give Robert Key a ring if were dropping Bell, he's used to playing at number 3-4 and is a good batsman. I still go with dropping G. Jones aswell for Prior or Read.
trescothic out cause he doesnt move his feet vaughan out cause he doesnt go forward 29-3 what a fucking shite start!
shite, it's back to the bad old days!!! I'm that generation of schoolkids that thought englandbattingcollapse was all 1 word 31-4 now
Flintoffs second innings figures....... 1 Over 2 wickets for 1 run (which was a no ball) On the back of 2 brilliant innings with the bat and an injured shoulder. Freddy Flintoff :worship:
Game, set, match. Gilchrist gone for just 1 136-6 England will probably take the extra half hour as well to finish it by this evening.
