There you are folks, that doesn’t look too bad at all.

Good launch pad for two days at Lord’s for yours truly.

In reply to Deep Cower. Curioser and curioser. ItsNotJustCrick: "All this talk about dominating and batting fast is ridiculous. New Zealand just steamrollered the Windies and they batted under 3 an over for most of the 1st innings. Big scores intimidate teams, not fast scoring! England need to concentrate on accumulating."

KC is posting comments on cricinfo under a different name now:

James The Score: “Root can accumulate but he doesn’t dominate. He’s not going to cause teams a rethink like, for example, a KP would do. Credit to Root for battling it out though – he’s playing his game.”

My lunch prediction has died, as has my tea prediction.

But my stumps prediction is still alive, and if not kicking, at least twitching occasionally.

Calm down, dears. It’s only a cricket match.

In reply to Balladeer. Which is better than Robson, who has just made the selection of Carberry for the Ashes look like a bastion of sanity.
