Why are we now bowling short.
Got the wkts bowling full and making them play.

Brain dead that’s why like the last test match

 

[jimharri]

Can we finish them off, that is the acid test?

You know what? I've got a gloomy feeling that 151 could turn out to be a huge score.

"Bowling gas", "sunny's", what an annoying, sad tw#t Ian "Wardy" is.

 

[jimharri]

I'd take parity right now.

See what I mean?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

See what I mean?

They’ve beaten my estimate of 50 all out.

 

[waspish]

Bairstow stays in and it clicks for him we will get 250+

 

[Corky]

6IXTY off with a bang in the Caribbean, the ultimate test.

 

[jimharri]

Decent recovery from 43-3. Need to push on in the morning; if we get to 250+, it'll be a handy lead.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Getting better. Still on my guard. If we get to 200 without further loss, we're well on top. That's as far as I'll commit.

I really hope that Crawley can take some inspiration from Bairstow, he seems a nice enough bloke, and deserves to get some runs for persevering, many would have just wanted out of the firing line by now.

Application this morning if Crawley can continue by doing what he did yesterday and the others play around him,We could only have to bat once.Having said that it would not surprise me if they still skittle us for 200 ish with our aggresive approach.

Crawley did fine yesterday but today is the day he should go on and get at least 50+ someone like Cook would today go on and get a big score and even carry his bat!

The praise from Anderson was well overboard on Crawley and if I was Crawley I’d be embarrassed by it!

How we miss Alistair had 3 shots new his game inside out and boy did he know what balls to leave alone.It was interesting yesterday the stat that in the morning in 25 overs only 17 balls were hitting the stumps.As i have said many times you have to select your shots and wait for the bad ball.All this aggresive and play a shot a ball is bollocks.Get to tea today 220 ish for 5 then when the bowlers are knackerd you push on and get to 350 to 400 then you have put the pressure on.

 

[Octavian]

Don’t think it was too overboard, he’s trying to give the guy confidence I think.
