England will bat on today as Cook's interview with Pat Murphy on TMS makes clear. Hardly surprising but disappointing.

Jeepers, Swann on TMS saying Moeen must be the matchwinner. :panic

No surprise Botham thinks the english bowlers will get more out of the deck and england will win.

bloody hell the commentators have been *modded* in this game.

We must surely declare no more than 40 minutes into the day.

Well this is when you need your spinner to perform.

Did anyone see Cricket Writers on TV?

Martin Johnson was a strange one. Must have mixed his water with something a bit more stronger.

comms saying 3-4 overs.
but I reckon they will declare around 360-380 now.
atherton wants them to declare at 330 which is really no different to declaring overnight.

I agree but Moeen hasn't shown recently that he's a matchwinner. I could see him taking out the tail if we get down to 8 out but Swann's 4 wickets for him seems unlikely.

Warne on commentary so half an hour of saying the same thing over and over. Gotta be prepared to lose to win etc

by **Aidan11** » Sun Aug 07, 2016 11:00 am

I hope it isn't about milestones - Ali & Jonnys centuries.

by **Aidan11** » Sun Aug 07, 2016 11:00 am

Good shot Moeen.

by **Aidan11** » Sun Aug 07, 2016 11:01 am

Moeen's turned into Viv Richards.

TBH Swann is an awful pundit/commentator he makes botham look good and unbiased.

Swann just speaking what he wants to happen and not what is the most likely thing to happen.

Swann/botham are two pundits that get their heart over their head when talking about cricket.
