I'lld take broad out and put a spinner in actually, and flintoff for harmison, in the next test.
Two spinners at Headingley?

i've always thought of it as a spinners pitch..my memory isnt always the best though. But yeah, depending on the pitch ofcourse.

I've always thought of it as a seeming, moving pitch....my memory isnt always best either

When overhead conditions are right, it is very much a swing bowler's pitch.

Wonder who hughes follows on twitter...
Or his management company will anyway.

Every behind-the-ball slo-mo seems to show the ball with a load of sidespin. Does he have a strange release, are my eyes screwed, or was it just chance that they focused on his offcutters?
Maybe they were the better deliveries.

Sadly, I think they all went for 4!
In that case maybe they were the worse deliveries.

The wicket we got gives us abit of hope though.

So we've established that Headingley is ideal for spin, pace and swing. Ten bowlers it is then

Dont worry yet. We still have Ian Bell to rescue the game! Not
What's the deal with Channel 5's evening highlights programme with Mark Nicholas and co.? Do the commentators have to call an entire day's play knowing that it is then to be cut down to a highlights package only to be shown after the end of play? Or is it broadcast properly somewhere on pay TV/radio/wherever?

I think they commentate throughout the day and it gets edited without being shown in full anywhere?
From 2006 it sounded like the commentators did the commentary over the highlights as they were shown them, or that may have been the stilted style of Simon Hughes and Dermot Reeve being too coked up to know what he was saying..

Cheers, Paul. Watching the highlights tonight it definitely sounded like they were commentating those few hours throughout and not after the event. Dunno if it's the same for a full day's play.
That's gotta suck a bit, knowing that your call isn't going out live anywhere and that it's going to be cut up into a 45-minute package.
Still, I guess that's why they pay them the big bucks and all.

Same for the full day I think? It may sound a bit scratchy if, as today, play finishes after 7 and the programme goes out at 7.15.
As Boycott does the TMS blog with Aggers at close of play, he can't possibly be doing both at the same time. Ian Chappell has a regular slot on cricinfo I think as well, which he must also need to be on hand to do at close of play.

Surely 7:15pm is too early for a cricket highlights programme? If they can pull that off without trouble on days like yesterday then fair play to them.
