test cricket summer 2012

[Randall]

who replaces him at the top of the order is the key question?

[Knots & crosses]

One lord Haw Haw replaced by another.

Cracking stuff.

[Randall]

cook certainly from the silver spoon brigade you fancy.

[Randall]

trott or bell to move up the order maybe?

surely this means they have to get kp back, to go to india with neither of them makes us on paper at least look weak.

can see the 20 over thrash doing ok over there, not the real game though.

[M H]

T 20's made for the yanks mate

[Randall]

boks will bat 1st, two changes for england

James Tredwell in for Graeme Swann
Jade Dernbach replaces Tim Bresnan

mr dernbach is a new one on me id have to say.

[M H]

Seen him before and bowls with a lot of variation, took three wickets today

[M H]

England are making hard work of chasing 212, Trott and Bopara at the the crease. Please let Trott stay in!

[Randall]

they picked bopara again??

[M H]

Out for a duck but he took a wicket mate

[Randall]

Out for a duck but he took a wicket mate

thats ok then!

[M H]

I can't help wondering what Bairstow did wrong. He's made for this format and it would help his progression.

[Randall]

hasnt got a central contract, nothing to bind him to the team, especially his batting.

[M H]

The Paddy's making this possible!

Phil Tufnell, BBC Test Match Special
"If Trott bats through to the end of the game, England win it."

No shit Sherlock!

[Randall]

cannot stand tufnell.

[Randall]
