Haddin is a fantastic test match batsman. He is an absolute bastard to get out, a more than capable wicketkeeper and can play like a killer, accelerate at will or smash the ball to all parts as required. How he EVER got dropped for that useless prick Wade I'll never know.
I'm no fan of KP but he has the ability to dictate how this series pans out. I hope he's not required until after tea but when he does come out I hope it's a case of commeth the hour, commeth the man.
carberry got his 50. though his catching has not been his best but at least he's made some runs in this series so far unlike the rest of our batsman. which from seeing him in county I always thought he could make the step up. lets hope he can continue it.
Funny, I've seen him play a lot and always thought he could make that step up too. Just unfortunate to be playing in an era when England have been pretty blessed for openers. Sound bloke as well, know a couple of people who grew up with him and they see him as a pretty well-rounded bloke.
Also why I said Bell at 3 - can score more freely than Root, wrestle the initiative back. Got the technique for the job too. Pietersen's dismissal was scandalous - absolute disgrace. Root's not much better, but has the excuses of inexperience and pressure from top, top bowling first up.
It's a shame cook is a useless tosser. Who knows whether it would have made any difference but it must be psychologically challenging to be chasing down huge totals all the time rather than having a crack first on these pitches.
Your living up to your name. If you know anything about cricket you will know Cooke is far from useless and if we had won the toss we wouldn't have been chasing these totals .
Jeez! Useless tosser was a pun! And your second point is precisely the one I was making. d'oh.
wouldn't mind knowing how many times that's happened. it's a know unlucky number for us but I'm not a believer in superstitions but this one seems to have a hold on us.
