Stockport CC have picked up an overseas player who it turns out was banned by the icc in 2011 for spot fixing.

Fucking catch the ball, you wankers

481-5 at 3.8 an over after being put in. Great stuff.

What was it W.G Grace said about winning the toss. Anyway we’re surely getting close to a declaration now. I’d put England in for the last 90 minutes

Crawley is shite

Yep, proper shit.

 

And about as unsuited to being an opener as it's possible to be.

Yeah, that Holding talk about race was so powerful 

[Captain Howdy]

Wow, I would have caught that

I’ve noticed over the years that Atherton is a generous soul, he speaks so well when complementing other people.

Southee looks like Jacques Brel

Always impressed with Atherton, he’s very considered and doesn’t seem to really care what people think of him

I’ve a mate, Bob, who is the spitting image of him.  For the life of me I can’t separate Bob from Mike.  Bob is a horrible character, some time, kids everywhere - my view of Mike has suffered because of it!

We went to a 20/20 match at Lords on Thursday. Mrs Willard went to the bar during play and the bloke in front of her ordered 22 burgers, chips and beers. She missed about 8 overs and 3 wickets waiting. Pic is during the warm up.

I don't think any of the top 3 look great. They look like they can get out to any ball. It doesn't have to do anything special, they just seem to lack concentration and/or the ability to keep their heads still and watch the ball into the bat or make good shot selection decisions. I've given up on the idea we can still produce test batsmen in the game now. The fact we closed with just one down today was only because of NZ failing to hold their catches. 

[Captain Turdseye]

Crawley is still young. I backed him on here ages ago so I’m standing by that so I can brag about it when he gets to 10,000 test runs after you all said he was shite.

Only if you have booked a cryochamber

[Jarvinja Ilnow]

Fuck off, Bairstow,

[Rico1304]

Has it turned into a 20/20? Great to watch. 

[Captain Howdy]

Stokes is on one 

[Rico1304]

Bollocks.
