December 13, 201312 yr Aw look, mate We don't NEED to win, just not lose You're right, but 2-1 down with 2 to play is much much better than 2-0, where we can't win the series. These Aussies aren't as good as we're making them look. JImmy's getting nothing out of any of these pitches and Monty bowled better than Swann. Stokes, I've no real issue with either for or against, but he was possibly our best bowler today. They bowled too short and Sacre was really pissed about it. They sent Bairstow and Ballance off to perth early to play in a game v Aus A and they scored runs: I'd have picked one of them over KP. Cue a big double ton from the cocky Saffer.

December 14, 201312 yr fuckin shite technology The technology is fine. Both techs said he didn't hit it, and one conclusively showed the 'doubt' of the noise was not valid. The problem is letting on field umpires have a running back and forth with the 3rd umpire - as soon as this tiny group of blokes who all know each other start talking, they start looking for pathetic fig leaves to back up their mates.
December 14, 201312 yr Poor execution, but if Cook doesn't cut, he might as well not bother, so fair enough.
December 14, 201312 yr This is the last partnership you can feel good about - there are plenty still to come who will make runs if w'ere in a reasonable position, but you don't want under pressure. Frankly Pieterson falls in to that category... Anyway, put on 100 and with the rub of the green, Stokes, Prior, Bresnan, Broad and Swann can all make a contribution from a good base.
December 14, 201312 yr The cut shot is his but he had just cut him for four, he had done the hard work they had both began to look set
December 14, 201312 yr Pieterson really needs to stop playing the cunt shot, so often his downfall. It's his shot though
