Ground is in a right old state by all accounts, but i agree that it needs to go ahead at all costs.

Sounds like the game might be a bit of a farce..... but we all know that the English do farce best

Plays just about to start 2 hours later than scheduled due to a waterlogged outfield.

Vaughan won the toss and elected to field.

i love the TMS commentary:

It's up in the air a long time, England hold their breath - and Monty takes the catch! Naturally, he runs in waving his arm like he's just won the World Cup. And the lottery.

Diabolical - Moores is indeed a MacLaren

Shane Warne for coach!


Title: Third test
Post by: Boeta on Thursday, December 20, 2007, 13:02:46
typical knee-jerk reactions

i'd put money on moores being the best coach in the world

a cricket coach is vastly different to a football manager

a coach puts in place a culture and frameworks for learning and moores' is superb at that

on field performances come down to the player and the captain

if someone loses their job for poor results it will be the captain before the coach
