England going well.. 5/146
Carberry out Cheap
Root out cheap
Prior out cheap
Stokes out cheap
Ballance run out 55 off 134 balls
-
After all the hot air about facing 3rd string bowlers in their tour games...
Interesting that Ballance batted at 3 and Bell at 6. I wonder if this is any indication on who may bat at 3 for England in the 2nd test...
-
Bell out cheap
-
Ballance and Bairstow both looked solid, Looks like Bairstow is keeping

Are you speculating that England would opt for Ballance at 3 for the next test?
I want some of what your smoking.

I bet u do. It's bloody good stuff... :D
-
The guy doesn't bat higher than five for Yorkshire!!!
-
The UK commentators were waffling on how Ballance reminds them of Trott the way he bats... Bunch of dicks

well, rumour has it he can't play the short ball either...
-

If he is a contender for next week don't you think they put him in at three to get some time in the middle seeing as he'd faced about five balls on tour?
I doubt they see him as a three in Tests.
-
Although it would be odd, I could see them doing that, batting him at three to minimise the unsettling of the other players..
To be fair, if they don't play Bairstow, you really have to ask what the point of him being on the tour is. He is possibly a future England keeper, and is potentially one of the best, but he has not had the time or opportunity to become an established keeper at county level because he keeps getting called up.

Agreed. I think the problem they face is that they have settled one, four, five and seven and are shoehorning three more in; any of them could bat six but none are natural three dogs. I would personally bat Root three and Bairstow six but who knows - it could be Prior six and Stokes seven?
-
They should push Root to no.3 and get Stokes in..They bowling looked tired and weak. Stokes will give them options.
-
Bowling was weak and tired due to the batters not giving them enough opportunity to rest properly
-
Tough call - I think England have pretty much decided that Stokes is their long term all rounder, much as they have decided that Bairstow will succeed Prior. If that is the case, why not give him a go? At least at Adelaide where the pitch is likely not to expose the lack of a specialist bat and would probably reward playing Monty.

Not boasting it's just a bit of a worry for England that the Chairmans xi are really a bunch of club cricketers.. Not one player from Sheffield shield is in the team
-
Starting to get a little embarrassing for the England team now...
Chairmans xi overtaken England's score and now number 9 Muirhead smashing Finn for 2 fours....
Chairmans xi 7/235
The seamers aren't looking very impressive at all
Swann 4 wickets
Panesar 3 wickets

Sorry missed that one.
Declared for 8/254
Muirhead 29 of 16 balls smashing both Rankin and Finn to the boundary at will
-
Root and Carberry open... And Root gone for 1
-
Not much cop with the new ball is he! Really hoping Carbs gets some time at the crease...
-
Carberry end on 37 not out... Batted well second time round

looks like the most interesting part of this match was the racist announcer at the ground

Not sure if 'racist' is a bit strong for a stupid joke gone wrong by the sounds of it. He wad not being derogatory

Jokes are racist now a days, whether they are by mistake, meant in jest or indeed meant exactly how hey sound. Ignorance is no excuse
-
Because Monty is of Asian descent.
It is no different to going up to an Aussie and saying "G'Day mate" in an Aussie accent.
If he had done it to a white skinned cricketer, and put on a 'proper' English accent, would he have had the same outcome? Probably not.
What he did was wrong, a gross misjudgement on his part, but to label him a racist is, in my opinion, a bit harsh. He has already lost his job over it.
-
Err what did he do?
-

The announcer put on an Indian accent for his name.
-
He also gave Root a send off. Ha
-
Oh these Australians eh chaps!
Let's give them a big hand for their rough-hewn colonial humour.
What a 'shining whit' that man must be!
-
Good, no place for it or need for it in the modern world.
-
He also gave Root a send off. Ha
Which apparently he was warned for and told he was on his last chance.
If true, he's obviously not the smartest cookie
-
Gotta give you poms somehing to whinge about or you won't feel quite right.
-
Got called an Aussie Kangaroo (No Swearing Please) this year by a Sri Lankan when I was over playing in the UK. Of course I laughed and shrugged it off. Just imagine if it'd been the other way round!
-
He would've probably wondered why, as a Sri Lankan, you'd called him an Aussie kangaroo...
-
HAHAHA!!!!
On a slightly more disappointing note. I just recieved a warning for abusive language. I thought I'd blleped it out so to speak. ???

Well then maybe you need to read the forum code of conduct regarding abusive language and the substitution of symbols for letters...

Monty is Luton born and bred. As English as anybody. Commentators are supposed to do research and he's failed big time.

Thanks Number 4.
Sadly I don't have all the time in the world to read these codes.... Maybe that you're such an expert on it, you could explain the rest of it to me?

That page will take less than 5 minutes of your time to read, and it seems pointless someone else copying and pasting the content to you because you can't be bothered to click a hyperlink... ???

I think it would be a good idea to find some time to read the forum code of conduct considering you are a member of this forum and obviously you aren't too sure how to behave as yet and I would hate for your ignorance to lead to a ban

Struth, internet nazis. In truth the last place I'd expect such people would be on a cricket forum.
Anyway, point taken and recieved. So cheers chaps.

That's very rude, and very deserving of a ban.

No need for that. They are only saying it as it makes everyone's life better, just because you can't be bothered isn't really valid. You'll be the first to shout should something. Rules are there to make things better for everyone and like Cameron says, take 5 mins. I can promise that you have 5 mins spare ! No one is THAT busy
-
Not at all mate. As I said - Point taken.
Just the perceived tone was what I preliminarily took umbridge to.
