You get LBWs if you bowl straight

Turns out that bowling straight gets you LBWs as it seems Sidebottom proved yesterday. Didn't see any of it because I was playing myself...in a dire game which involved no less than 5 farcical decisions (that's conservative). I won't go on about it because we lost, but when we win and there are some shocking decisions you will - bet you can't wait! In the league we play in you score the umpires as skipper...I was always nicer if we'd lost because I knew that a poor mark would be interpreted as being a sore loser, but when we won and there were some shockers then I was able to be more honest. I guess if you want good umpires you have to be better at cricket and play at a higher standard - one week I was told that a score of 0 wasn't allowed - 1 was the lowest score you could give! Sometimes I wonder if the amateur umpires at our level actually have their eyes open...ok, maybe I did go on about it having said I wouldn't...sorry!

Moving on, good that KP kicked on to his double ton - we can now forgive him for his show pony antics when Vaughan scored his hundred. Interesting that Plunkett opened the bowling in the second innings....I wonder if that was a Moores, Vaughan or Harmison decision?
