Has a bruised knee apparently. Although no one knows how.

prbably playing football
Keepy-uppies with a cricket ball perhaps.
Any advice on the correct spelling of keepy-uppy and its plural welcomed.
Nearly at 30. 29. So soon, yes. As I said earlier, it'll be an lb or a catch at slip.
To be fair to the Shermanator, it can happen anywhere between about 30 and about 65.

missing in inaction
What's ball doing?
Not spinning obv, as there's no spinner. Any seam or bounce, or all quite placid?
A little swing, some decent bounce if the bowlers exert themselves. There've even been one or two which have died off the pitch. Pretty decent track though, but if the bowlers do exert themselves, and especially if they DON'T BOWL TOO SHORT, there should hopefully be something in it for them.

Yeah, good morning.
As for the question of when will Ian Bell get out - the answer is as soon as he starts playing well. I'm happier seeing him clinging on and fighting than punching a few lovely fours in a row and then chipping to mid on for no obvious reason.

That's how Strauss saved his career - by grinding out runs even when he looked appalling. His 178 in New Zealand was unbelievably scrappy.
Yep, not bad.
Hell of a lot to do yet. Strauss has played well but needs to keep concentrating to push on. Bell is living a charmed life and think the Aussies will use the lunch interval to come up with a plan to get him out - he's standing up to bouncers (like the Sky team have been saying), so expect to see a couple of fielders moving in closer.
Must admit to a bit of nervousness sitting here. Looks to have infected the (subdued) crowd too....

Yep. That definitely had a very different feel to his innings today, for example.

Yes, funnily enough that exact thought crossed my mind a few minutes ago.
That's because I control what you think.

I've been squinting at the score through one eye every 20 mins. or so all morning. Can't bear for this to go wrong.
