Now then John...shall we talk about this momentum lark...?

Yep, after we'll bowled for a bit.

We can also talk about batting first in England on a cloudy day...

But John...that was *my* argument. Yours was it was all about the momentum. I told you this was quite likely to happen, you and everyone else told me England were fooked!

Not it wasn't. I'm not sure that detail is you bag, but I argued that momentum is 'one component' of winning, as 99% of sportsmen and pundits would readily agree. I don't recall arguing that it is 'all about momentum'.

More rain. Long range forecast from 2 days ago was reliable...not.

So, you argue by using the 'knock it off' tactic when you've been caught out. Not my problem that you're short on attention to detail and big on bluster. I guess they not big fans of nuance over in Lancs... Look back over the thread - I said this:


"Interesting opinion re: momentum.

The thrashing at Lords isn't evidence that 'performance momentum' doesn't exist. It may indicate that it isn't the ONLY component of winning a test, but having played a lot of sport over the years there is no way that recent success doesn't improve confidence. It is one less thing to think about. One less thing to eat away at confidence. The game, at this level where they can all hold a bat and bowl the ball, is mostly between the ears. "

Lyth is dog-ste.

That was so wide he did not need to chase that.

Stupid, stupid, stupid.

[TheAngryDog]

So, can we drop Lyth yet?

Yessss, my thoughts exactly. Problem being there's no-one on the conveyor belt.

Wait... KP can open, right?

Time for The Hammer to dish out some serious Justice

Fixed that for you

[zygalski]

Roy needs to replace Lyth. A good prospect & fairly young, too.

[johnfm]

Damn - you've got past your 30-3...

[zygalski]

49-1 trail by 87
Hehehe.

[johnfm]

England at 6.4 an over. Will be ahead by stumps by quite some way.

Game on.

Clutching at straws bowling Lyon so early. Starc and Johnson have only bowled a few overs each. No way this will turn yet.
