Agreed with both of you , thought I'd mention it to see if it was only me who thought he didn't look comfortable

 

[LOAM]

Pietersen starting to look impatient to me.

 

[mmj_uk]

I suspect our only batsman to be a candidate for man of the series is Bell, I can't think of anyone else who has been as consistent batting apart from possibly Broad.

 

[LOAM]

Cooks been consistently rubbish, does that count?

 

[mmj_uk]

So has Trott, Bell has been consistently good.

 

[Alpherah]

So has Trott, Bell has been consistently good.

Bell has been the only consistent batsman in either side so far, nailed on for man of the series unless something odd happens.

Yeah, only way I could see him not getting it is if Aussies win this test with Clarke getting the runs, then they win the last one with Clarke making another century...but even then, it can't really go to a player form the losing team.

 

[mmj_uk]

Bit of a desperate review there.

 

[LOAM]

Insane review!

 

[LOAM]

Pietersen done for 44

 

[Pighardia]

As was said, he didn't look right.

Best review ever

 

[Yas786]

Finally got KP out, Bell is doing well..get him out and Aussies are back in it.

 

[elmuzzy66.]

Hmm will England reach 200?

 

[LOAM]

If we can cobble another 120 - 130 out of this its all good.

 

[Pighardia]

If Bairstow hits a 50, I might get off his back

 

[mmj_uk]

In Broad we trust.

Just need Bell to stick around.

 

[LOAM]

If Bairstow hits a 50, I might get off his back

Ill text him now

 

[elmuzzy66.]

Still think the side needs a shake up in the batting department. And no that doesn't mean you Ravi, you stay from tests you hear me.

 

[mmj_uk]

Root has been pretty dire as well he's averaging about 10 runs if you take away his single innings of 180.

Well played Jonny, force the field back and take some singles.
