Floodlights have been on half an hour. The umpires judge the light by natural light. Hubby reckons they won't come back on |

yeah but you don't have to play bouncers so just duck out of the way of them- for SA, this is good as it just uses up the time so they can get a draw. You can still bowl line and length deliveries and bowl it in the right spot, force them to play and throw in both the odd yorker and a bouncer as surprise deliveries. That's what makes Glenn McGrath such a wily bowler and Pollock himself for that matter. |

Hubby says (lol) if they keep bowling the shorter deliveries then slot in the odd full length yorker that becomes the suprise ball. Just wish they'd hurry up and do summat! Jeanette x |

I think England are sometime guilty of bowling too much short-pitched stuff, bouncers etc. It becomes too predictable when a bouncer is supposed to be a surprise delivery. If they bowled fuller deliveries then ok, they may get driven for 4 but that hardly matters in a game where they have runs to play with. They are more likely to get one of them out by trying to entice them into edging it to the slip fielders. |

Well you're quite welcome Linda! lol Looks like we won't have it much longer either if they intend to make it pay per view. We pay enough as it is for the monthly rental without having to pay again on top. The only reason we have it is so hubby can watch the cricket Jeanette x |

Apparently Bumble was saying yesterday that it was Ashley Giles' benefit year and they'd ordered 1,000 mugs printed with 'Ashley Giles, King of Spin'. They came back printed wrong as 'Ashley Giles, King of Spain'! lol Jeanette x |

Ooooo Good! I can feel a trip to Headingly coming on! lol Hubby has been saying for the last half hour that Michael Vaughan should come on to bowl. He's looking very smug now cos Ian Botham just said the same Jeanette x |
