You mean getting himself out to a guy who no one is sure whether he's being picked as a batsman or a bowler 2 overs before the second new ball is ok? I reckon it's pretty poor. Every bit as poor as what bairstow has just done!

You're clueless, Bairstow's dismissal was abysmal, yes, but the ball to Bell was a quality delivery, hardly got himself out.

Thanks for that I'll remember to ask you next time I need to express my opinion in future shall I pm you first?

That's probably a good idea, don't want you embarrassing yourself again.

You're both wrong... It's just obvious Bell still has nightmares about leg spin! 

[smokem]

7 down and you need a night watchman to protect Broad? What the

Maybe it's not just Bell that's still spooked by leg spin...

All jabs aside, the series has been amazing so far. Just when one side threatens to get on top, that very side self destructs (and I'm referring to both teams here)!

This is going to be another topsy turvy match... Steven Smith though. Sheesh...

[fros23]

Still anyone out there that thinks Bell can't do it when it matters? 

Need the tail to wag in the morning and a good start with the new ball after.

That was my only issue with Bell. He never stood and took charge, nobody is more pleased than me that he has done that.

Class player, mentally not so much, however has certainly proved me wrong.

I am hoping Prior gets a score in the 2nd innings...we need him

Good to see the best wicket-keeper batsman in the world playing a good innings again, i think Haddin will make at least 50 for the aussies, Prior seems in to much of a hurry all the time, needs to clam down and play the way he was last year as he was batting brilliantly.

On a lighter note living in Derby does anyone fancy turning out for our first team as need a few batsman it seems Yorkshire made 617-5 Derby at the moment 94-5. On what is apparently a batsmans paradise.

Interesting comment from Bell last night on sky about taking time. Wonder if Prior, Swann and Broad were listening?

Ah the mighty Yorkshire!

Oh for f***s sake!

[justnotcricket86]

That's my good mood down the drain then.

Put on sky go a few mins late and already bresnan is out! I was having a nice morning up until now!

[Leddster138]

Good ball first up but I do think that's the danger of picking a "bowling allrounder" against a very good seam attack. I just wouldn't expect many runs tbh. Interesting on the BBC website saying that Bresnans test average is higher than Hick and Ramprakash
