[Dennis Bendtner]

The great mavericks of our time employ the leg-slip and silly mid-on.

Should be some DLF maximums over cow corner this afternoon.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

308-5, Bairstow had no idea what he was doing. He goes for 4.

[Cripps_orig]

End of Bairstows Test career?

If he cant score against this powder puff pub team bowling attack, he has no hope v the quality of SA (not the english ones) bowlers later this summer and the world class bowling of India in the winter

[Syn]

Kohli failed against West Indies (albeit in west indies) and then went to australia and was the highest Indian run scorer in the test series. #justsaying But, yes, this bairstow guy has no test tekkers anyway so not sure what he's doing here. That said, I can't name you any promising English batsmen.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

336-6, Prior out.

[Cripps_orig]

That number 6 spot is a problem position.

SA not producing any quality lower middle order batsman for us?

Should be sacked

[Syn]

I will put my house on england scoring over 450 now with some pretty good odds.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Time for Broad and Swann to come in and swing a bat at it.

Prior needs to sort his life out. Bowled by Sammy? FFS.

I'm sure a batting change will come soon, probably involving Bopara for his 4756th chance.

[Cripps_orig]

Any one here watch County Cricket?

Surely there must be someone better than the shite we have at number 6.

Reading the BBC live text service, people are mentioning James Taylor. Any good?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nah I don't really watch it. Maybe I will if Lancashire are on.

I have no idea who James Taylor is in fairness.
