[Titanic]

Oh good, De Villiers is in.

 

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

Our first 4 bowlers: Willey, Topley, Jordan, Moeen - has there ever been a weaker line-up ......anywhere

 

[fleet]

I can't watch anymore.

 

[Everest]

De Villiers! Annoyed he missed one ball from Rashid. He hits the next ball for six. And the next. It's like watching a game of Stick Cricket.

But the next ball is skied and caught

114-2

 

[spring hall convert]

114/2. We could keep them under 300 here.

 

[Mr Smggles]

Amler gone now. Maybe still got a chance...?

 

[Everest]

Amla gone

yay

This is what happens when you select a squad of bowlers that won’t suit the conditions they will be playing in against top class explosive batsmen.

 

[Everest]

On comes Roooooooooooooooooot

 

[fleet]

I have turned back on to have another look. If we can keep them below 220 from the start they got it will be very impressive. Big if though.

 

[fleet]

Why did I turn back on to watch Hales do that? keep your eye on the ball! Thats 2 fours in a row now and due to a misfield - 13 off the over.

 

[Everest]

Bowling - shocking
Fielding - shocking
Batting?

To be totally fair, this isn't a typically sub-continental pitch.

Still no excuse though, it plays like this in IPL.

 

[fleet]

Can anyone in the team actually catch or stop the ball? They just look totally lost.

 

[Titanic]

Embarrassing... Stokes wide full toss... Buttler lets it through gloves for byes... poor

Full tosses and wides all over the place

14 off the over

166-3 (15 overs)

 

[fleet]

Stokes is shocking - such bad bowling. The captain needs to get this lot calmed down.

 

[spring hall convert]

Look on the bright side - imagine how bad this would have been if Moores had been in charge.

 

[Everest]

Shocking decision by the umpire

 

[fleet]

Was it the best plan to bring Topley back at this stage after a dire first over and a shameful dropped catch? No - 6,6,.....
