Oh dear 31-2,still its very much in our own hands,if we could bat until say tea tomorrow[long shot i know :-))( ] then we'd have four sessions to bowl them out.If they do bowl us out at least the declaration problem would be solved,of course we'd still need to have 250 or so on the board to be in with a chance of winning.Still a long way to go and all three results are possible.

Hasn't Jimmy Anderson done well?Four wickets for four runs and the run out of Dhoni  ,plus he should have had two other wickets too.Can i just repeat that i said the bloke should play! :toppost: for me.[Of course he'll be rubbish in the second innings now  ] |

Because we don't have any other real choice,its either Udal or Blackwell who are unfortunately both as crap as each other.Udal though offers a different option as he's a right arm spinner as opposed to Monty Panesar and Blackwell who are both lefties. |

from the few overs i've managed to see, udal was hugely ineffective and highly expensive...
is it neccesary to have two spinners though?

In the Sub-Continent thats the usual way of doing things as the wickets are much more likely to be conducive to spin,altough you probably know that  We only had one spinner in the last test and it didn't work,although quite honestly the fifth bowler throughout the series has been dodgy :-))( .Hopefully the wicket breaks up on the last day and our spinners will work some magic.....maybe. |

to be honest, i didn't know that. my cricket knowledge is a bit limited
are there no other options for spinners with giles out? udal looks about as useful as a sex shop for nun's

The trouble is that we dont produce wickets at home that help to culivate spinners and then we expect them to perform miracles on the Sub-continent,we rely on swing and pace to do the damage. Maybe we could send them to India in the off season to learn how to spin the ball .

The fact is sonic, we dont have any decent spinners in this country which is why Udal makes it into the squad. :shock: :?

 There is that albino Gareth Batty  ,who did well in the West Indies recently,and also, is it Loudon ?who was on tour in Pakistan.But there aren't a lot of choices. |
