I really wish Tsotsobe would either spend at least 2 minutes in the nets practising his batting, or give up the idea that he can play a ball. As soon as he stepped to the crease, I knew he would only last one ball - being a bowler shouldn't be an excuse for not being able to just stick your body in front of it and fend off 3 deliveries.

Butt posted:Don't worry about the paywall, the headline says all you need to know: Cricinfo has their own version: http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/story/643435.html Not sure what Sutherland is on, it sounds to me like they definitely will be picking the team. Given the recent results of them not picking the team, I'd say that might be a good thing for Australia.

England will win by eight wickets with 27 balls to spare. Trott 47* (103)

I reckon Trott will scratch around and let the run rate creep up to 8 an over and then get out.

Loved the hotspot of Root getting nailed in the cock. As much as Trotts slow scoring pisses me off, he has averaged like 75 in ODI's this year and if he wasnt such an ugly player he'd probably be regarded as one of the best in the world imo. And now the Umpires have changed the ball. Wonder who was tampering in the SA side? serious gaylord fucked around with this message at 16:11 on Jun 19, 2013 |

Looking at Statsguru, in this champion's trophy I don't think you can really single him out. Of the England guys with at least 50 runs in the tournament, he's third in strike rate and first in total runs by quite a bit. It seems weird to single him out for slow play in a team that's not doing much better. Ravi's the only guy successfully doing the big-and-fast role.

One thing I like about Joe Root is that his mouth is always slightly open when he bats, so he looks constantly terrified while hes at the crease. Hes probably just worried about the homework hes got due in the next day though.

Trott has a habit of scoring very very slowly at the beginning of his innings and then accelerating once he's very well set (and usually past his current average). While this is fine in theory, in games that require England to chase large targets or indeed usually when batting first, this puts the pressure on his batting partners to up the tempo and take the risks instead.

Can't quite figure out what Sri Lanka is up to with 39 in 17 overs when there's strong chance of rain. If it rains for a few hours after 20 overs, they're screwed

The Sri Lankan players didn't want to offend their IPL paymasters. They're actually quite a prickly and verbally aggressive team these days (especially Jayawardene and Sangakkara), but they're little, mild pussy cats when they're facing India.

Has someone ploughed the Old Trafford wicket or something? 18 wickets on the first day for less than 200 runs seems a BIT excessive.
