Boring boring cricket IMHO from both the sides today in the over hyped Eng-SA Test.Your thoughts? Either SA looks badly undercooked or they have no idea how to bowl in English conditions...... And lesser said about England, the better. They are in strong position right now but their cricket is boring, on a flat flat pitch guys like Trott and Cook are defending/leaving half volleys. I would rather watch Sehwag belting pacers on a flat pitch than this.

Yup this does look boring. If we had been there we would have entertained the crowd by getting bowled out by now.

[Crookbond]

Please take cognizance that the pitch is very dry.

[Old guy]

seriously its flat track ...now would gr8 english unbaised commentators blame pitch or bowlers ..oh wait they will hype up batsmen even more

Lol. But on a serious note, if Test Cricket needs to survive, then such high profile series should be entertaining. Otherwise this format has no future.

If you keep on watching, I'd say you will fail in your exams. :hehe:

Top class cricket from both team. Classic test match batting on display and equally good bowling by saffers. :winky:

Otherwise this format has no future.[/quote'] We gotta understand that this is Test cricket. This is 1st day of the 1st Test of a high profile Test series which will decide who becomes no. 1. The teams won't give up their advantage just because they intend to entertain the crowd. If the crowd are watching Tests to see 4s, 6s every over or a RR of 4+, sorry then Test cricket is not for them. I wish we were this boring on our tours to Eng and Aus where even on flat pitches we failed to last more than 70 overs.

Both but batting takes the cake. You can't blame the bowlers when your batsmen can't even last more than 70 overs on Day 1 on a decent pitch. Hell, over the last 2 Test series we didn't even have 1 session where we didn't lose a wicket!

Agreed, but what's testing my patience is the easy balls bowled by Saffers are being left by England batsmen, even Dravid would cream those balls for fours. England is just being too patient here.
