some English people have given up on cricket all together, to follow a sport the English are good at such as rugby football formula one, where a twat ARE LEWIS won the championship.

Interesting I have given up on formula because it's boring as gently caress now.

It was remarkable, Vaughan was just commenting on how Cook's footwork was better than last year, and Cook immediately prodded a wide one to gully.

To be fair, it wasn't his footwork that was at fault :v:.

Its a tragedy that Kevin Pietersens continued negative influence on the England team is preventing Cook from hitting those swift, swashbuckling centuries that hes used to.

Shame on you Kevin.

When it comes to test run outs it is always for second worst (after Pakistan Godking Inzamam).

I don't know about involved in run outs, but it looks like Bell has been run out five times in Tests. Inzy was only run out six times, oddly enough.

The leader, run out fifteen times? Guess who.

Nice bit of reverse spoonboy from the commentators on Sky. "If the top order goes, it's very difficult for Bell or Root to come in and play shots" *Root hits a 6*

From the Telegraph


quote:

Chanderpaul would have gone first ball on Tuesday if Cook had posted a third slip. He might argue he had two slips and a gully (no short leg), but Chanderpaul is 40, in the twilight of his distinguished career, and Wisden is not required to confirm he has yet to run down the pitch to his first ball from a pace bowler and welly it straight at mid-off or mid-on.

It more about quality than quantity with Inzy (although there is plenty of quantity too.

Also lol at Pontings ability to get run out at the critical point of the innings/match/series.

It was weird with Ponting. He'd come out and stroke an effortless 60-70 without looking remotely troubled by the bowlers and then he'd get too aggressive and run himself out.

that first one is funny because while ponting was walking back he was shouting at the english balcony about the sub being on because they'd used loads of sub fielders for bullshit reasons during the series and he had assumed that had happened again

but this time pratt was on for simon jones, who'd hosed up his ankle and never again played for england, so he looked like a bit of a cock

e: also wasn't inzy more of a master of running others out, which meant that sometimes he ran himself out
