I'm confused.

He looks like Watson, he bats like Watson, he gets out like Watson but no review. It can't be Watson.

Thanks this works!

Seems like this addon will work on Hulu and Netflix :drool:

Yeah it does :) Completely legit too - normally when you try to access, say, www.netflix.com, it'll see your IP address and redirect you, say, www.uk.netflix.com. All Media Hint does is send you straight to www.us.netflix.com (those addresses I just made up, but you get the point - it's just sending you directly to the 'local' web server)

This looks more like an Indian pitch right now. Give Joe Root some overs!

OK, so I guess I was wrong :lol:

England's decision to bat again exonerated predominately because it allowed Root to gain a score and so increase his confidence.

Australia really are really as bad as many feared, with both bat and ball. This series is a complete mis-match and if weather allows will end in a 5-0 defeat.

question is, why did it not spin like this at all for Aus spinners? They must be really amateur.
To be fair, Swann makes most spinners look average at best. Usually, a spinner can either bowl slow with high revolutions, or they bowl faster but with less revolutions. Swann can bowl relatively fast but still keep the revs up, that combination is what sets him apart, combined with the deteriorating pitch he becomes lethal. It's why, on a pitch that will wear, England will always bat first if they can.

Where the goals come from.

The funny thing is, I noticed on Sky's jazzy new rev-counter that Agar was getting it spinning way faster... he was up around 2,800 rpm (I actually never realised they got anything like that many revs before they brought this new tech in, tbf). Just shows that there's a lot more to it than just how fast you can make it spin!

Thought that might have been going down leg a little bit. But it's hughes. The cnut can feck right off.
