Sounds like most of our bowling attack is trying to injure themselves with Anderson going over in his ankle in the football warm up yesterday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7251157054005755258.post-44116347358044050312008-06-05T21:35:00.000+01:002008-06-05T21:35:00.000+01:00According to the Sky commentary at the time, they ...According to the Sky commentary at the time, they did confirm with the dressing room that Anderson was a night watchman for Sidebottom. Seems ridiculous I agree, but I suppose it will be thought justified if either of them gets a decent score (say 25+) tomorrow.Peter Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316786398580772598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7251157054005755258.post-9530479697683695222008-06-05T21:06:00.000+01:002008-06-05T21:06:00.000+01:00All of 17 minutes between the dismissal of Pieters...All of 17 minutes between the dismissal of Pietersen and Ambrose, so I'd suggest ruling out 2.!Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08830695119125760799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7251157054005755258.post-58864568362346107992008-06-05T20:28:00.000+01:002008-06-05T20:28:00.000+01:00I'm not sure how long the previous partnership had...I'm not sure how long the previous partnership had been going (but I don't think it was long) but I can think of only 2 reasons - 1. that Sidebottom was, as you say, indisposed, or 2. they let him have a couple of overs off as he'd been ready to go in for a while.<BR/><BR/>I gather it's normal for the next batsman in to get a break when there's a long partnership before they go in, to refresh themselves. I'm going to number 1 though!Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06755797969506651900noreply@blogger.com
