The New Cricket Thread

[lifetime fan]

Lad batting at No3 for Gloucestershire is a scouser called Ian Cockbain. Played for the local team I watch Bootle. Seen him from about the age of 13/14. He made a great score in this comp a few weeks ago. He's got one of the best fielding arms I've ever seen.

 

Think you’ve mentioned him before mate, he and Klinger can be devastating.

[lifetime fan]

Hammond gone after a good start.

[lifetime fan]

Klinger gone too.

 

80/2

[lifetime fan]

Glos fucking up a good start.

His dad ( also Ian ) played for Bootle for donkey's years and for Lancs for a bit in the early eighties. I am sure he was still playing in the Liverpool Competition a year or two back & he must be late fifties by now.

Yeah, he retired for a couple of years an then came back to captain Formby. He's still involved at Formby but in a none playing role.

England win toss and will bat first (Kohli said he would of too) at the Ageas Bowl in what is being mooted at the best batting pitch of the series so far......

 

So that's India batting before close of play

About as plumb lbw as you can get. Poor cunt had no idea.

Probably be repeating this about the other top order batsmen between now and lunch.

[Jairzinho]

Getting bumrahed here.

 

Root saved by the no ball. Terrible original decision by the umpire.

[Stickman]

Fuck knows why they persevered with Jennings, he's the proverbial walking wicket and hasn't shown he either the temperament or foot movement to last at this level  .

[Jairzinho]

Opening batsman, playing in English conditions, doesn't move his feet. It really is a complete mystery as to why he isn't regularly scoring double hundreds for England.

[sir roger]

Very impressed with Jennings' imitation of Theresa May's Saffer dancing from the other day after he was LB'd.

 

34/3 , need to get to lunch with no further wickets.

Jinx

 

England have gone full 90s this series. We must have simply the worst top order in world cricket. I’d trade it for Bangladesh’s now. Hate the sight of every single one of the docile fucks. Absolute lemmings.

[Stickman]

Fifty up...

 

England have now been 100-4 or less 33 times out of the last 63 innings.....

 

To be honest I'd love them to get to 100-4 this time

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Jennings is shot, walking wicket. Cook needs to go, Root needs to drop the captaincy. Apart from the we're fine.

 

Who would come in? We have very few battlers.
