No real frontline spinner on a used wicket. If we win this it'll be down to someone having a stormer (Woakes, Ali, Taylor, maybe Bell) or Sri Lanka being poor.
We probably won't though.

Colin Graves, the soon to be ECB chairman, has come out and said that Pietersen has a chance of reigniting his England career, if he gets back into playing for a county at all formats and scores runs. The decision to bring him back will be down to the selectors and no one else.
Really good news imo, I don't really care how much of a cunt he apparently is off the pitch. We're severely lacking in proper attacking batsman that can take a game out of the reach of the opposition with an explosive innings. If he can get himself back into county cricket (Hampshire pls) and score a decent amount of runs then it would be very hard for them not to pick him, especially with how the current England side are playing. I think KP was an unnecessary scapegoat for what happened in Australia. No one should ever have their international career cut short when they have the talent that he does.
Thoughts from others?

I absolutely hate the man, but I think the way we sacked him was a joke. However, think he's too old now to bother compromising everything we've done over the past year for. It's a strange one but I think if it's handled right, Graves is doing the right thing by opening the door and leaving the ball in his court. I really don't think he'll bother with the County Championship though, not enough money in it for him, but if he does, then I'm all for him coming back in, but NOT at the expense of James Taylor. The two of them will never share a dressing room until Pietersen apologises haha.

Great win that by Ireland. Did anyone who watched it think that catch was out or a 6?

I thought catch tbh, the slight movement of the rope I thought was just the ground moving from where he was stood, and his instant reaction when looking down was to celebrate and he'd have known if he was touching it the cameras would show it and he'd look a twat.
Great game, lucky though after that shocking over from O'Brien

Incredibly late but that's a 6 for me, he touches the rope.

That field from McCullum for the hat trick ball, thing of beauty. What a captain.

Didn't think it was a 6 either, pretty close. NZ guy on commentary was bitching like it was the worst decision in all of sport.
Anyway England game tonight. What's the odds they go with an unchanged side?

I can completely understand why he was unhappy about the decision, think it is a poor one personally.
Apparently, don't quote me on this but apparently, Hales is in for Ballance at the very least, Taylor STILL at 6 which is madness. I despair.

Shame, would have been nice to see a minnow go through.
