Is there a better sight in cricket than an Ian Bell cover drive?!

Oh right ok, still not nice to lose to those lads over the Pennines...!
What qualifies as good taste in music!?
Libertines, Babyshambles, Foos, indie & rock etc..
Fair play.
I'm now holding the Libertines, and DPT'S drummers two drumsticks, from a gig in Hackney...
Vettori's on, quite early, but i imagine it is to build pressure.
Bell just illustrates my problem with him.
Long hop, by a sunday league standard bowler, he hits it straight back to him....
Had previously been batting serenely.
36-4.

Pietersen 34, good on him.

C'mon KP, your country needs you! (

Seriously, we need some application here, Collingwood makes me nervy early doors. Just chopped one off off stump from Vettori.

KP looking to be positive against 'Denny' ...couple of sweeps.
KP's highest score this series 43!
Could do with quadrupling it...

And then adding 43!
Why, what's wrong with him scoring 172?!
Lunch...58-4, after winning the toss and batting on a flat track.
A double hundred would be nicer! To be fair he should be dealing in 200+ 's should KP. Okay, i'd take 101 at this moment in time...!
92-4
Pieterson 63
Collingwood 14
What's happened to Strauss? Is it psychological? Or just poor form?

I'm upset Brad called KP to come good...
Both!
Really disappointed with Colly & Bell's dismissals - really poor execution.
KP is going well, just need Ambrose to provide him with some support.
150-6 at TEA
90 of those runs from KP.

Don't be upset, it's the only reason we're still in this test!
Utd Heap, you and me are in total wavelength parity over Bell. I doubted at first, but he is a decent player who plays some textbook shots beautifully. His major weakness is that he lacks any kind of testicles whatsoever. He loses focus, he plays stupid shots in strange situations i.e he'll come in with England 3 down and instantly start trying to hook. And like many of the English top order, when there is any element of pressure, and I'm talking the kind of pressure where you are in a position to win, I believe he bottles it far too frequently
Well done Kevin, vital century
Pieterson flamingo's, and the ball's stuck on the roof! Nice to see that shot back. 124 not out, 200 up for England. Nice batting from Broad too, I think he's already doubled his test career batting average. Without tempting fate, starting to look a lot better for England now, the chance of posting a competitive 300 score is possible oncemore
Sorry that was meant to be another sentence.
As in saying I'm upset, but good call on the KP score.
Finished up 240-7, decent recovery, could of done without KP getting out at the end, but you can fault 129.
If we could scrape up to 300, and take some early wickets, we can get back in this test match.

So much for 300.
Broad gone already.

Fantastic start from Sidebottom.

That was a bad over from Anderson 18 of it NZ now 42-1
We are badly hemorrhaging runs here, got to get a lid on this and fast.
Anyone here watching it on TV? Boycott on TMS says Strauss should have, and coudl have, gone two handed for that?
What say the rest of you, bid miss for us?
EDIT: Was that just three 4s in a row then? Oh dear
40 odd off the last 3 overs rom Anderson

Fleming is smashing England around the field here we need to get him out soon. Anderson has give up 43 runs in 3 overs.
Panesar in to the attack and bowls a maiden over.
I've turned the t.v off, i can't cope wuth this any longer!
Have to do with TMS on quietly in the background.
