Thats what i hate about the sub continent teams, they bowl seamers for 10 overs and then the rest of the time its spinners for 100 overs.

Bit harsh Spud  ,spinners are in the main their best bowlers,you can't blame them for using them most of the time.Personally i quite enjoy watching Kumble and Harbahjan bowling,although in a sort of petrified way  |

lay off Jones. i think he's the best of our wicketkeeping options at the mo! certainly batting wise. so what he makes mistakes? unfortunatly those are remembered and not the good points like some of his catches in the ashes and the tour to pakistan

200-5,only 14.3 overs were bowled.Its looking like a draw is inevitable now.

I agree with your point about the fact that mistakes are remembered more than the successes,but to say we have no alternative is quite frankly bollocks.I don't know about anyone else but i'd like our wicket keeper to be able to keep wicket well first and bat well second.I just don't think Jones keeps wicket well and he certaintly isn't scoring many runs.Personally i think Chris Read should be behind the stumps,he is first of all a good wicket keeper and a more than competent batsman. |

I hope so,and i hope he plays accordingly.It pisses me off that there is never a suggestion of replacing him in the side,its as if he's as irreplaceable as Freddie or something :-))( |

The pundits maybe,but it doesn't seem to be an issue with the England managerment,thats what annoys me.Anyway Read is doing all he can to make them take notice,hopefully he'll get another chance to play in the side soon. Its looking like Spencer White will be seeing the deciding test match,the lucky git |

i think we can win this one........300-350? then get the seamers to bowl them out on a productive pitch (the first of its kind in the sub continent) i wont accept a draw! i think India are getting shitter now. their players are starting to get old just like the aussies
