Wriggling Snake May 2013 3:27pm, 16 May 2013 4,218 posts	Quote Pin Wriggling Snake proper cricket, digging in, 5 dayer, could be worth a sickie Monday
rf_fozzy May 2013 4:23pm, 16 May 2013 4,536 posts	Quote Pin rf_fozzy Bresnan back into Yorkshire squad at Edgbaston. Few getting starts, but no-one going on so far. Might need his batting to stiffen up the tail, although as Yorkshire tails go, the current one isn't bad. Rashid, Bres, Pyrah, Plunkett and Sidebum can all bat. I think Hodd is ok as well. Just Patterson who is a genuine bunny.
rf_fozzy May 2013 4:25pm, 16 May 2013 4,537 posts	Quote Pin rf_fozzy Ah, ok Pyrah has been replaced by Bresnan. That makes more sense now.
Dooogs May 2013 4:54pm, 16 May 2013 887 posts	Quote Pin Dooogs Lots of starts - everyone, bar Hodd, got out for between 24 and 52 so far. Still, should hopefully get a 1st innings lead of 150-200 with two days to go...
Dooogs May 2013 4:55pm, 16 May 2013 888 posts	Quote Pin Dooogs England 138-3 off 70 overs. Is there a snoozing icon?
The Teaboy May 2013 5:08pm, 16 May 2013 7,222 posts	Quote Pin The Teaboy I've opted for a few overs of IPL to remind me what a boundary looked like. Only because David Miller was having a proper tonk though. Back to Lords now.
The Teaboy May 2013 5:11pm, 16 May 2013 7,223 posts	Quote Pin The Teaboy Interesting to see Sreesanth amongst those arrested for spot fixing. If true, it couldn't happen to a nicer bloke. Although the sums of cash involved for bowling a dodgy over - up to $100k - you can see why some journeyman cricketer would be tempted. For those amounts of cash, there must be many more involved.
postieboy May 2013 5:14pm, 16 May 2013 1,803 posts	Quote Pin postieboy If conditions are that tricky, why didn't England put New Zealand in?
Wobbling May 2013 5:17pm, 16 May 2013 1,906 posts	Quote Pin Wobbling Isn't the rule always bat first at Lords? By day 3-4 the pitch has deteriorated terribly.
postieboy May 2013 5:23pm, 16 May 2013 1,804 posts	Quote Pin postieboy The wicket at Lord's has played well throughout the past few years. I'd have stuck New Zealand in personally. 2 runs an over is unnecessarily tugid. I can appreciate the need for defensive batting when required, but this is making New Zealand look better than they are.
