I'm in my pit listening to the Archers, what's the score?

83 for 4 off 33

Helen eh

 

[two sheds]

145 for 4 now but still only just over 4 an over

 

[Spymaster]

I wish

Had it on live pause

 

[Spymaster]

145 for 4 now but still only just over 4 an over

Nearly enough then

 

[planetgeli]

Nearly enough then

Probably more than enough already. Tricky-ish pitch, I can see lots of England being bowled through the gate, driving hopelessly.

 

[planetgeli]

Ok, that might help.

Or Jadeja will score 50 off 33 or something.

 

[Spymaster]

Looks like 250 would be a decent score.

 

[two sheds]

183 for 7 and Sharma gone

 

[Sasaferrato]

Lots of dot balls isn't good for the spectators.

I think India will be lucky if they make 230.

Edited to add:

India got 229. Any 'Mystic Meg' type jobs going?

 

[Spymaster]

That 6 over fine leg was the shot of the tournament.

 

[Sasaferrato]

I'm watching on IPTV, the commentary is a fraction ahead of the action, the six was announced as the bowler was half way along his run up.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

i can feel a coming on

 

[Sasaferrato]

 

[Sasaferrato]

WTF has happened to England? This is a rout.

At this rate, the game will be over in time to watch the Manchester derby.

 

[Petcha]

Oh dear. Stokes.

 

[Petcha]

There's a distinct possibility they will finish the tournament bottom the table. After 'winning' it last time.

It is an utterly dire performance, I support England because, well, Scotland doesn't really play cricket, unfortunately.

I think you'll find they do! Granted with the usual cast of Aussies and Saffas not good enough to make their own teams but they do have a side.

 

[Sasaferrato]

FFS!

 

[Petcha]

Bairstow

Aye we do. But on the world stage it is like West Calder Athletic taking on Real Madrid.

 

[Petcha]

I'm fairly sure they could take this current England shower

 

[Sasaferrato]

I really feel for the England fans, travelling all that way for this.

Indeed. You can't even get pissed in the grounds to try to bury it all with booze.

 

[Sasaferrato]

'kin 'ell, I go for a pee, and another wicket falls.

 

[WhyLikeThis]

I had to tuen off at 39/4.

 

[Petcha]

what is the point of blocking every ball at this point. roll the dice and slam it out of the ground. get baz back in. watching stokes bat in this side is painful.

None. They should be hitting out.
