			Malinga the Slinger is a pretty disgusting character, he spits out more than a full team of footballers, it's virtually every ball.    |

Nearly an upset at the end, quite exciting finish.

			Great start by England, and no Dale Steyn.    
Broad & Finn going at 7 an over not so good.    |

			Great start but our bowling in these last 10 to 15 overs has been nothing short of shambolic.

			I really don't think theres a better bowler around than Jimmy Anderson at the moment. He finished with 2-14 off 8 overs today. Hes consistently good in all forms of cricket, a joy to watch bowl at the moment.

Well lads its time to get out your cricket gear to replace this useless lot.  |  And they are at it again, today Lancashire bowled out Div 2 leaders Northants for 62. In fact they have taken their last 23 first class wickets for just 87 runs.   Local Saddleworth lad Kyle Hogg took 7 wickets today.   |
