Christ, Overton is shite

Christ, Overton is shite

Woeful. Virtually everything down the legside. Utter shite.

 

[Trips]

Woakes looks done here

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

If Overton didn't bowl such unimaginable shite then the chase never happens.

I'd rather Sam Curran play and I can't stand the little Scrappy Doo tosser with the most punchable face in world cricket.

204-6 it finishes and you've got to think that a decent attack bowls India out for 150. Probably 50 to 60 runs, or more, given to India there by utter dross bowling. Think India will be reasonably happy. England will be satisfied with the scoreboard but they'll reflect on far too much wild stuff.

This is really good bowling surface other than Atkinson this bowling attack is dreadful, I’d be confident to score runs off Overton. Anderson and Broad would’ve had India sub 150 on this pitch so much green.

 

[Kenny]

Seems to have gone OK for the bowlers this morning (well,1 if them at least)

 

[Squeak]

Well done Atkinson...certainly showed the others how to bowl. 224 all out. Now let's see how England respond. Not confident.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

51/0 off 7 overs

 

[Squeak]

Crawley is middling the ball really well. Some great shots.
We are playing like we know there is a ball out there that is going to get you.
I think it's the right approach on this surface but when you get out playing what looks like a dumb shot, you'll get some criticism.

Can't wait to see them attempting this start in Perth in November and be 15-2 off 7 instead!

Only 2? Could be all out if everyone plays this way.

 

[Squeak]

Very good 50 for Crawley there. Well played.

Listening to an interview with his wife on TMS.

Watching a very poignant post match interview after his century scoring test match return vs South Africa at the Oval in 2003.

 

[Kenny]

Not gone so well since lunch

 

[jd1981]

Going to be pretty even for the 2nd innings

Bloke is clueless. As gormless as you'll ever see on a cricket pitch.
215-7 in effect 8 at tea. England better bowl better this evening.
