Yes I think so. The seam attack has fired but a Moriaty would make a difference as it is turning a little. But this has been one of the best Taunton pitches we have had for a long time: a good wicket offering something for everyone.
Failing a big surprise we should wrap this up by early afternoon.....but you never can tell can you.

Is it just me or is anybody else getting a bit concerned here ? Is Amla going to be available to bat ? I don't think I've seen him in the field ...

He is certainly not fielding.

by Chinaman Wed Jun 15, 2022 11:52 am

Mmm....It's looking a bit flat. When we bat, hopefully, it'll stay that way. If we don't get them out by lunch, the draw comes into it.

This is all a bit ordinary in this first hour

May not have made much of a difference on this wicket?

I wasn't meaning to be rude but you do have a track record for hexxing!

Do we know whether Amla will be able / allowed to bat if necessary ?

by Alex! Wed Jun 15, 2022 2:50 pm

Well Amla's there, which does give me a little more confidence...

Wouldn't have thought he could bat hasn't fielded at all in 2nd innings?

Assuming he's fit enough, I think the rule is he won't be allowed to bat higher than 7.

by Keith Powell Wed Jun 15, 2022 4:32 pm

Amla now batting at 6.

I think he’ll be more than useful in the RLODC
