I agree with Icy again ( sorry )

K.P. is either brilliant and scores loads,

OR

Gets himself out playing stupid shots or no shot at all,

There is a difference between twenty/20 and test cricket,

One day KP might realise that.

On the plus side,

I found the last 20+ overs fascinating ,

Well done to the lower order for saving the game after the BATSMEN  (apart from Colly )  let us down again.

Yes we have just seen why Test Cricket at it's best is still a most compelling sporting spectacle.
Monty must be one of the worst batsman in Test cricket - brilliant stuff. Sets the series up nicely if we get our bowlers going at Lords. Time for Harmy I think.

Monty batted well.

I'd now drop him for the 2nd Test!

I don't think he will play again in this series. To be honest I think we let Robert Croft and few so called experts talk us into playing two spinners,having said that perhaps if the aussies had been made to bat last (ie we actually scored a few more and the bowlers actually bowled) perhaps two spinners would have come into their own on day 5.

We can only dream....................


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

I'm sorry but this "big girls rounders" series between South Africa England and Australia does absolutely nothing for me. Just can't get excited about it at all.

I think most of the big girls play premiership football nowadays don't they?
