Big scream here for a millisecond until I realised that sound was leg instead of stump. Stupid terrible hearing.

Im going to be stumbling in from a wedding around lunch so I'm fully expecting us to be 9 down. At this point im just hoping Prior knows which end of the bat to hold.

Just got back after being out for the afternoon/evening, and welp. Nice to feel optimistic for a change, although I have a sneaking suspicion that it's the best day's play we'll get this summer

Stunner of a crowd catch in the Wellington v Auckland T20 tonight, dude was full stretch down over the railings one handed while holding onto his seat with one of his legs. Ryder has a couple of minor injuries so is out of the tour match v West Indies, I guess were planning to slot him in to the test side for Williamson but I'm not sure who will bat 3, perhaps McCullum. Vettori and Southee should be good to go so the team looks not terrible. As for the Windies, Gayle is out for a while which is a huge relief since he averages a thousand against us. Also their only bowler who got wickets in in India Shane Shillingford was reported for chucking, as was Marlon Samuels (again). Not sure what impact that will have on their selection.

I'm beginning to come round to Quanta's thinking about Trott. It's not a recent thing - he's been bad for about 2 years now.

I think people know where to bowl to him that hes not comfortable with now. And they also know that if you give him some short stuff at the start of his innings he's going to go even further into his shell. Its Cook i'm most disappointed with right now, he was turning into one of the best batsmen England have produced but he seems incapable of moving his feet all of a sudden.

Everybody I've seen who gets one going back the other way chucks it. Botha comes to mind, along with a more obvious culprit

An actual doosra is impossible with a straight arm. Upto 15 degrees bend is legal now, but every bowler I've seen who used it always looked like 30 degrees. Of course these days idiot commentators have started calling the topspinner as doosra which can be bowled legit.

It doesn't take long for the macho childish bollocks to come out with Australia does it http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cricket/25065458 There's 3 days gone out of 25, wind your neck in a bit lads.

But he's basically just saying what even you lot are saying about Trott. Except that he's Warner, so he comes across as a pillock.

Well yeah he's right, but it's pretty tactless to say the dismissal was 'poor and weak'. This test isn't even over. Warner must be a journo's dream, he always makes unguarded comments like that. He's like a real life version of Warwick Todd at times.

2 bad days doesn't mean poo poo in test cricket. Broad will save us a draw and we will move on. Hopefully leaving Trott tied to a lampost naked with a dingo hanging off his face.

It's just his awful batting didn't look as bad in comparison to all the other awful batting.

He doesn't look great against the short ball and it was an especially poor shot to play but warner should pipe down with the trolling to at least after Adelaide where trott could score a million runs.
