Wouldn't be surprised if it was deliberate on his part, I think Middlesex want him as head coach.

 I was always impressed by Oliie Robinson. 

 

Nice lad. Needs to stop doing the gear though as it’s going to catch up with him at some point. 

[Jairzinho 25,275]

Imagine how fat he'd be if he stopped though.

 

In other cricketing news, South Africa have produced some belting pitches for their series against India. All of the tests were top class and this first ODI has been a really good battle between bat and ball as well.

Going well.

I might actually keep Sky if they promise to avoid buying the cricket back.

[Captain Turdseye 14,919]

Was busy kicking arse at board games and forgot this was on until I just saw the thread bumped. 
 

84/7

 

What the fuck’s happened here?

[sir roger 8,661]

we were 49/7 at one point

[Captain Turdseye 14,919]

Have the Windies got that big, fat bastard playing?

[Captain Turdseye 14,919]

Much better so far tonight. 

[Captain Turdseye 14,919]

Wow. England did their best to fuck that up with the ball at the end there. 
 

Won by one run. Should have been a beat down really. Conceded 72 runs off the last five overs. 24 off the last. 
 

Was expecting Mahmood to bowl one more wide and give them the opportunity to tie. 

[Jairzinho 25,275]

The cheerleaders at the West Indies v England game are of the very, very finest quality. 

[Captain Turdseye 14,919]

Going at a decent rate here. This little series has been great so far. 

[Captain Turdseye 14,919]

They’ll be posting a huge total unless we can break this partnership soon. 

[Jairzinho 25,275]

Either this is the flattest deck of all time or we've been utter shite. 

[Jairzinho 25,275]

Seems a distinct advantage in 20 over games having your entire middle order being built like Lennox Lewis. 

[Captain Turdseye 14,919]

Some hitting this. 
 

If they’d started doing this one over earlier on Sunday they’d be looking at a 3-0 series lead now. 

[Jairzinho 25,275]

Yes, looks like they'll be settling for 4-1.

[Captain Turdseye 14,919]

Could be an epic chase here. 

[Captain Turdseye 14,919]

Ah, well. Never mind. 

[Jairzinho 25,275]

4th game of the series about to start. 

[alles ist gut 4,643]

Normally when you type ‘just the 28 off the over’, it’s England bowling

[Jairzinho 25,275]

Holder being paid off to make a game of it. 

 

An over of immaculate half volleys. 

[Remmie 6,960]

Moeen with a 23 ball 50. I've probably missed too many matches but it seems like years since he scored a 50 in any format 

[Jairzinho 25,275]

All the seven foot sloggers haven't got a clue against the spin. Block or swing and miss.
