Kenny ******* Powers Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Plenty batting still to come Plenty to come but it's more the way they are batting that worries me. Pietersen hasn't played much recently. Bell looks out of form, not convinced by Bairstow as yet and Prior can't be expected to perform his heroics every game. Hope they prove me wrong.

Wolfstar Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Cheers for the 2 replies above. I caught the last couple hours of play today, alot slower but england basically have a full day tomorrow to get 200+ runs to give themselves a good chance.

babywhalo Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Don't know why they're moaning so much about Trott's wicket, thought he was clear out. Just saw it on the highlights. Nothing showed up on hot spot, but I have a feeling he might have just about touched it. They normally have a side on hot spot which might have helped but apparently that wasn't recording because Root got out the ball before and they were expecting him to appeal to tv so they were setting up the replays and not recording the Trott ball!

Yeah, i imagine that's something they'll be trying to ensure isn't repeated in the future! All their claims, though, were based on an apparent movement of the ball between two screen shots from the ball passing the bat and when it hit the pad. I reckon that could have happened without contact with the bat. I may be wrong but i think it was clear out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not so much DRS' fault, more like bad 3rd umpiring. Just saw the Trott and Agar dismissals again and the boy has made a balls up of them both. I thought the Trott one was a harder call, but the stumping was clearly out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwidoug Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 As that wrinkly old Rangers supporting no-hoper Rodney Stewart once said, tonights the night (NZ time). It will be decided on day 3 and I am confident it will be decided in England's favour. The batting is strong most of the way down and Aussie have used up their luck. A 10 year old on debut batting at 11 scoring 98! Honestly delighted for him but give us a break. England miles ahead by close of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notts1874 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Sun just coming through down here. Looks it will be a good day for batting, and i think England will bat most of it and end on a lead of 200-250 which should be more than enough once Swann starts to turn it round corners.

Two or three having a decent innings could make up for the 98 (and even the 81 not out). Not to mention the fact that the Aussies didn't actually bowl all that well in the first innings, with the majority of wickets coming early in the day the session before lunch today could be crucial!
