Nasser always sounds like a pissed off teacher.

 

Looks like a Chemistry teacher I had as a kid. 

[Hand Shandy]

Woah! Gatting has been at the pies.

[Jairzinho]

Who's who of total cunts in the crowd.

So what are thinking lads, what do you reckon a par score on this wicket would be if conditions stay the same all day? 

 

Reckon 280 would be a hard score to chase, but doable. Think Lords has an average of about 300 as par score of late. Think team batting first have won 63% of matches.

Poor start, for me.  Line/length erratic.  I wanted at least four wickets by now.

[Pureblood]

That'll do.

[Jairzinho]

I expected one or two by now. Enough assistance for the quicks, two openers completely out of form. 

 

I think 280 would be an excellent score.

[lifetime fan]

Great wicket. 

[Jairzinho]

Wouldn't bother reviewing that.

[Jairzinho]

Half way up leg stump, shirley?

I need Cheese and Ham toasties to calm my nerves. 

 

Woakes has bowled better, Archer a bit off by his standards of late.

 

Guptil out now as I type, that was plumb. Oh....reviews late. 

 

Out. 

[Hand Shandy]

Plumb as you like. Daft review. Taylor should have told him so.

 

Edit - or even Nicholls...

[Jairzinho]

Middle, even.

 

That was a review out of complete desperation.

If you could please fuck off with your being right that would be just great, thanks.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

We need Ian Smith on comms so he can whine about Guptil, he was sounding chippa in the background a while ago. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Crosses fingers that Williamson is out early. 

[Hand Shandy]

Yeah, getting Williamson cheap would be nice.

If he gets fewer than 60/70 they aren't winning.

Reckon this wicket will get easier to bat on as the day goes on, if the rain stays away. So far Lord's has been the one ground where the wicket hasn't got slower. 

[Hand Shandy]

Archer really is quality.

[TheBitch]

That was a sexy over.

[Jairzinho]

A bowler with the ability to bowl a bouncer as a cutter is genuinely petrifying as a batsman.

Especially for his lack of experience at this level and the ease he has slipped into the scene. I reckon Woakes has helped him immensely as his opening bowling partner. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

'A day for the Stars.'..........Yeah, cunts getting into the big games you mean.

Load of absolute shite, gets 2 Tests every summer and as Nasser said, we've got a shit record there. We don't help ourselves at times.

Said as much the other day. Quiet as fuck and no crowd intimidation at all.

 

And again, not sure I'd have batted on winning the toss. If NZ are still scoring at this rate at the 15 over mark, they're going to have to start taking some chances.
