England End Day 1 In A Good Position.

[RandyMarsh]

Thanks to big scores from Joe Root and Moeen Ali, Moeen finishes 99* overnight, classic!

I have to admit that i had predicted an innings defeat, could still happen mind.

Did everyone think that the caught and bowled was out?

Yorkshire comes to the rescue.....again :-)

didn't see it. Was the pitch very flat or have India's demon spinners just overslept?

[RandyMarsh]

The pitch is rather flat, Michael Vaughan tweeted that he thinks the groundsman will get sacked.

It was a good toss to win.

lol, Sir Geoff!

Scotland is not known for its cricket teams so this might be a stupid question.

How can the pitch be too flat? Is flat not better than having holes and whatever?

[RandyMarsh]

It just means that there is not much in it for the bowlers. No extra bounce or turn.

[wolf63]

Okay :-D

[RandyMarsh]

I know, it is like gobbledegook!

[wolf63]

its worser and worser than gobbledygook - lots worser. It's just rounders for posh folk.
