[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

Conspiracy Theory 1.

 

It was his arm and they only used the concussion to get a sub batter in the second innings. Smith was doped up on Red Bull when he came back out. No one could tell the difference.

 

Conspiracy Theary 2.

The medical staff didn’t think he was concussed so allowed him to go back out to bat. A red flag went up when he started acting off. “ We knew something wasn’t quite right with Smithy when he signed a fans bat Johnny Depp and started talking like a Pirate”

I hope his arm is OK for the 4th test. 

[Jairzinho]

Hope he plays the last two.

Jimmy bowled 5 overs for Lancs second XI today. 1-11.

[Brownie]

Bowled a second spell and got another wicket.

Smith ruled out of the Third Test. TK will be beside himself.

I doubt they’d risk fudging this, especially after they’ve been caught cheating before (and for which smith shouldn’t ever play again IMO). Plus the Dr would have serious repercussions if he was found to have lied.  But I wouldn’t be surprised if his arm is broken too.  Or he’s Logan.

Essex are also struggling in their second innings. 97-6, need another 56 to win.

Not one player hit double figures. That has to be a first at this level, Shirley.

Jason Roy is a doubt for Thursday after taking one in the neck in practice. 

 

HE COULD HAVE DIED.

Shithouse nets bowlers.

[Rico1304]

On my way to the ground.  It’s 10 years today that Ponting got one in the face.  

[Rico1304]

In the box next to the WAGS. 

[Jairzinho]

Unchanged team. Root won the toss and chose to bowl.

Often wondered what the WAG's boxes are like.

Looking at the weather for Leeds, it looks like once this bout of rain is out of the way by this lunchtime it's clear for the rest of the 5 days.

[Jairzinho]

Fucking hope so. Been looking forward to this game. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

 

A good toss to win with this early cloud cover. Need to make the most of the new ball though. Paine talking shit at the toss saying he wanted to bat anyway.

I think it will be longer than that. The rain is coming from the West. It’s raining on Merseyside and there’s another band behind that coming from Ireland. I reckon we’ll get 30-40 overs tops today, and that’s being optimistic. 

 

Hopefully the forecast for the next few days is better than it was today because it wasn’t supposed to be raining.

 

I’m going tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday (insert dancing emoji).

 

[Brownie]

The wind is blowing west to east so that crap around Liverpool is heading to Headingley and then the crap over the Irish sea is coming as well.

 

Hope the wind switches and pushes it north!

[Rico1304]

Covers coming off.

They’ll be going back on before there’s any play.

 

Hoping this is my Michael Fish moment.

[Brownie]

Starting at 12:10 apparently. Can’t see how looking at the radar.
