Exactly! :D

I'd never want to be a cricket captain. I'm bad enough setting fields for my own bowling, let alone anyone else!

It's a tough job. But, the very first innings aside, we've batted brilliantly up until now.

Tomorrow, at least make them work for it. The ball will get older and the pitch is still good for batting. Jimmy needs to block and Bell needs to play naturally. Then Prior and Swann need to make sure they don't give their wickets away. Get up to a score of 250+ and gain some respectability. Too much fishing outside off today. Trott, KP and Colly all went that way. Cook and Strauss got good balls.

The next match should turn, so I think they'll play a spinner (i've seen Smith bowl for Worcestershire during the 20/20 last year as I support them. He's a decent leggie, but not enough to be a front-line Test spinner. Although Docherty wasn't either, so who knows...). So, they either drop a quick or they might miss a trick.

I'm still confident. And it's another reason why Test cricket IS cricket. Drama and twists and turns makes it so special. :)
