I fancy England to get a couple of wickets in this last session.... 282-4 would be nice.

I hope Boycott has been slagging off this pitch. At least Cardiff gave the bowlers something, this is an absolute road.
As for Blowers, he's gone right over the top now, but who's going to be the one to tell him he's done as a commentator. I don't like Ed Smith and Charles Dagnall's voice really grates.
Maxwell, Vaughan, Boycott, Agnew and Tuffnell are all excellent and engaging.

It looks that way, but I would wait until we bat on it before deciding that.

Very wise words. Not much of a contest at the moment though.
I like Ed Smith. Smart bloke.
I think there is still a place for Blowers too - albeit solely for reasons of sentiment and tradition. Clearly at this stage though, he should not be the one actually commentating on the ball by ball action.

Very intelligent man by all accounts. His personality doesn't engage me, I find I'm waiting for his 20 minutes to be up until someone I like comes on.....Blowers following Smith is a double whammy.

Now let's hope he loosens up and makes a mistake!
