Naaaaaaaa just the best player we have got and the only 1 that has looked like getting a wicket actually

Said Rashid should have played.

Just imagine the strength of the batting lineup if he did he would be batting at 10 lol and he would have had the rough to work with that Panesar hasnt used. Was a tough call either way tbh

Well, the groundsman at the SWALEC looks like he's fulfilled the instructions of his ECB paymasters and created a flat pudding that a 10 year old could bat on for five days.

Stuff whether it creates an entertaining contest between bat and ball, show me the money.

If the rest of the pitches are like this it's going to be the most boring Ashes summer in history.

A continuation of his form for a while, he's not doing much to justify his selection.

His form didn't warrant a selection, but what does form matter? I can't see the game because I don't have SKY, but I'm guessing Monty is just throwing the standard 50-60mph dart that barely turns?

Seen bigger angles on a ruler.

I didn't expect that

Great start this morning with the bat, and I felt 435 was enough to be honest.

But Ponting and Katich have batted superbly.

That said, disappointed with our bowling efforts throughout the day. None of the bowlers have really looked like taking wickets.

If you're wondering why Shane Warne hasn't been commentating on SKY as advertised Shane is playing in the World Series of Poker and has made it to day 3, he could be in till July 15th if he makes the finals. Shane's poker blog top prize is $8,546,435

It's a shame Ashley Giles isn't still in the team.

Then we could say if only Panesar was playing, he would have been perfect for these conditions....why oh why was Fletcher so negative
