This is so bad it's almost funny. But I'm not laughing

 

[eclipsedesign]

God damn that was terrible.

 

[StoneHappyMonday]

Urgh.

I think we've been kidding ourselves. Could, probably should, be 2-1 down.

1-1 now a certainty. Bad bad batting.

 

[monkyfunky]

Abysmal

Start making sacrifices to the gods and praying for lots of rain.

Bunch of tossers. Apart from colly he's sound.

Yeah my bad on the Gayle example, he was just an all-rounder that came to mind.

At least we'll get to see some decent batting from SA now. I say Kallis has the best innings.

 

[monkyfunky]

I think Bell has been playing consistently pretty well recently too.

 

[eclipsedesign]

Remove pieterson from the squad, let him deflate his head slightly and work to get back in the team.

 

[monkyfunky]

What are peoples thoughts on giving Eoin Morgan a shot at a test match?

 

[nipsa123]

Pieterson's test average must of taken a massive knock over the couple of months. Do you think he's been nobbled by his South African brethen or has he just turned shite (or both)!

Duh!

 

[harryhoofter]

Pietersen has the ability no doubt about it but sports are about performance not ability. He might just be on a bad run, can't always be playing at your best, look at Ponting he's back in form now when people were starting to doubt him.

Eoin Morgan is an up and coming player, he'll have a shot at a test match soon enough.

What was the deal with that no ball LBW decision? For those who were watching it.

What was the deal with that no ball LBW decision? For those who were watching it.

You mean Cook?

Take your pick

a) It wasn't a no-ball by 0.0000002mm.

b) The TV umpire is Daryll cunt-face Harper.

Even worse - Smith was out caught behind by Prior on 15 (He now has about 300). Review didn't have the sound on so the enormous clunk the ball made as it hit the bat wasn't heard.

 

[StoneHappyMonday]

Cheer up people.

We have a chance....

I was gonna say the title ought to be changed to the we love rain thread - see I said it anyway - I need to get a grip here

 

[harryhoofter]

Anyone been watching the West Indies vs Zimbabwe one day games? Zimbabwe have been playing pretty decent, it's good to see them at least have the ability to put up a good side despite their political shenanigans.
