In all my born days - a Kiwi spinner who can turn the ball. Who've ever believed it.
Need to digress here ...
Channel surfing and watched highlights of a 93/94 ODI last night, and Shane Thompson bowling spin. Cleaned up Border with a ball that spun massively.
By the way ... this current crucket is fucking shut

Apart from that ... thank you Matthew

We are getting pasted. Wood will be batting at tea on 100* at this rate
Thankfully not

About fucking time. The pitch map had been a lolly scramble from the bowlers so far this morning.
Pitch it up?

Plumb
Really?
I'll take it, but didn't look convincing to me.
Like DRS in this case !

Looked out live, good review.
45/3 his morning. Could be better, could be worse. I didn't want them pushing much past 300 before the start of play so that'll do.
Time to dig the fuck in with the bat.

Hate watching us bat.
Am off to bed.

Looked out initially to me. Then I worried it slipped down leg. Needn't have

Worried about what happens if Conway fails. But there is plenty of batting on paper

Pitch looks awesome to bat on. We should aim to be no more than 2 down at the close.
Oh do shut up ...

I think that's a pretty decent outcome - especially given the start to the innings for England.
If you win the toss and bat on a decent pitch, these days you probably want at least 400.
Need our batsmen to fire because the tail is long - wouldn't surprise me to see Wags batting at 8 - where he was 11 in the last test.

- I'm feeling a bit more optimistic about the WTC - our batting depth can be good - one middle order collapse seems to be about par for most sides in a season (unless you are the Pomgolians) - there's no need to shoehorn in Santnav when Kylo is superior in all facets - and having wags bat at 11 is a travesty - Lovely Trenty could bat at 10 and with our 1-7 batters I'd not be worried
I feel pretty much the same as the last two CWC finals positive, but sanguine. If one of our top three batsman score a big century we will win, if they don't we will lose.
We are definitely in with a shot though and adding a world class batsman in Conway on the way through does not hurt.
