BoroDownSouth 60 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 People dont realise Agar batted at 3 for Henley CC, who play in a decent standard of cricket. He is no slouch and we were wrong to write him off. Poor homework by England and it has cost us. However, swap Agar and Clarkes scores and I'd not be too upset? Just a shame that in the circumstances he stepped up. Link to post Share on other sites
tylergomez 53 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 First day off work for the summer hols today. So I can finally watch the whole days play. Lets hope it is a good one! Link to post Share on other sites
Tanksie 10 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Big scores from Cook and KP would do me. Hope that Bell bats a big innings if he bats as well. Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,326 Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 KP in the fifties now lets hope that this is the start of a really big and flambouyant innings from him and Cook also! Link to post Share on other sites
Somerset Boro 98 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 out for 64 Link to post Share on other sites
tylergomez 53 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Pietersen did a decent job. The wicket was one of those things. We need to cook to stay in a big chunk of the day. Then if Bell, Prior etc can add a few runs we should be looking ok. Link to post Share on other sites
Somerset Boro 98 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 cook has gone, i think we should all be quiet as everytime someone says something we lose a wicket!!! Link to post Share on other sites
tylergomez 53 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 You are right! I am going to stop commenting! Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,326 Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 Like a Boro match day thread lol!!! Only a lead of 66 with 4 wickets gone..............certainly swingometer in Australias favour we wil have to have a minimum of a 250 lead to stand any chance....our bowlers can repair this but we do need runs on the board. Plenty of time though Link to post Share on other sites
McTom123 6 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Momentum definately back with the Aussies. Bell needs to get a big score, he has all the talent in the world. Bairstow did alright in the first innings, played a few good shots, he needs to replicate that this innings, these need to bat for a long long time. Link to post Share on other sites
Sarumite 86 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I think the Aussies will be very disappointed if they don't win this test from here. I have no faith in Bell or the English tail! Link to post Share on other sites
McTom123 6 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I think the Aussies will be very disappointed if they don't win this test from here. I have no faith in Bell or the English tail! ^ Realistically I can't see England passing 260/270, let alone 300. Aussies have time on their side, it would take a monumental effort from Anderson and Swann with Broad not 100% and Finn not being on form. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TheWhiteFeather Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I agree 100% i'm very worried about getting a result from this position, with a draw just about out the question, All the batsmen I'd have confidence in to make a biog score and stick around are already back in the hutch, think we need a big innings from prior. That said even with a lead of 200 I reckon our attack could have a good go at them Link to post Share on other sites

Lol what? remmember australia were all out for 120 odd in day 1 conditions til the 3rd ump made a VERY poor decision. Australia don't know what end to hold when batting. If bell (who I rate) scores decent runs England are in the drivers seat. Link to post Share on other sites
Aarfy_Aardvark 38 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 We can win it but we'd have to hit over 300. Link to post Share on other sites
