The New Cricket Thread

[sir roger]

Not exactly a bombsite , great majority out to poor shots.

 

Listening on headphones and that wicket keeper is giving me a fucking headache.

Much like me on Stick Cricket, the English players are like rabbits in headlights against even average spinners. Been this way for a long time. 

[Jairzinho]

Shown some real fight after lunch here.

Had the same absolute bollocks during and after the last game. BBC writers on the website blubbing about what a disgrace it was and how it's unfit for cricket.

 

Then their number eight got a hundred...

[Stickman]

This session so far 10 overs 17 runs 4 wickets ....

 

And here was me looking forward to a Saturday of Cricket and Rugby especially with that certain other sport potentially ruining Sunday 

[sir roger]

We are grinding them into the dust here

[alles ist gut]

Luring them into a false sense of security 

[Stickman]

Take that India...

 

112 all out 

[Jairzinho]

Chose to bat so we don't have to bat last on the track.

 

Probably going to bat last on the track.

[Scooby Dudek]

Breaking records as we go. 

Looked like that ball obviously touched the ground to me, not sure why they seemed do upset.

[Jairzinho]

India are bang out of order approaching the game as if it were a test match.

[Stickman]

Two wickets in two overs the fightback is on ...

[Vincent Vega]

Graeme Swann might be even more annoying than Nick Knight incredibly enough.

The role of him and Vaughan appears to be "Top banter".

 

Quite happy with just three Indians talking about the cricket.

Root not happy with the reviewer taking just one look. 

[sir roger]

We were shite , but it all got a bit Liverpol with VAR , every umpires call bar one went to India and, like the 2nd test, the 3rd umpire was very quickly on their side with any contentious devcsions.

 Is Chris Kavanagh an umpire now as well ?

 

England basically have to bowl India out for 150-170 to have even a sniff of a chance, and being realistic that sort of lead would probably be too much

[Jairzinho]

We have a game.

Yep....England just need to do something that they struggle to do at times and that's polish off the tail quickly 

 

Brilliant delivery from Root 125-7....Make that 125-8 Root again

 

[mattyq]

Get Joffra on

[alles ist gut]

Root, Five for eight. Christ.

[Jose Jones]

Wasn’t expecting that, that’s for sure.

England need 200 minimum you reckon?

[alles ist gut]

Normal service has been resumed 

[Vincent Vega]

Bairstow should have stayed at home.
