The Cricket Thread. RIP Phil Hughes

This pitch in Durham is pretty bland. No pace at all.

Bowling has been fairly bland as well. Not really making them play at too many.

Yeah, Harris was disappointing.

When everyone was saying during the week that this pitch would suit Bird, I was expecting a real green top.

Sids continues to impress.

Why is it with so much 20/20 and one-day cricket being played that a Steve Waugh-style slower ball seems to have vanished from the bowling world?

True.. Don't mind the format the Women's Team is playing in ATM - For a change

He retired

Cricket back on same day as BB is back. There is something to smile about.

Tipping a draw for this test, pitch looks so placid it is ridiculous.

Bowling 1st again… Great…

Not even looking close to getting a wicket. Tame, tame bowling.

It is a road though

And yet we bowled tighter in the first 15 than we have for most of the series.

The Poms seem to have no interest in trying to score and have let a lot go. The bowling has been tightish but not really threatening all that often. Pitch is currently a road though.

Someone has kidnapped the Adelaide pitch, kept it mainlining mogodon and dumped it in northeast england. Horrible 1st day pitch to bowl on.

Unless KP does something stupid, he is going to slaughter us.

We should have put two spinners on after the first 10 overs.

Bird sort of looks the the child of Mark and Steve Waugh.

Thought he had a bit of Damien Hardwick about him actually... 

 

Hmmm... 5 down now and 3 to the best spinner in Australia!
