England Cricket 2021

[two sheds]

Out without having to face a ball, not even out for a duck .

 

[Petcha]

They're not a very good side are they? 3 day test?

Well, it was only a few months ago they were playing in the test championship. Its been a long tour and English conditions are clearly not their favourite.

England still have to bat though and that has been seemed beyond them many times recently.

It does seem to have been a hugely long tour, longer than usual? I guess they didn't even get to pop home at all due to Covid.

How many catches did we drop? I've been at work all day, someone fill me in. I just saw something on cricinfo which said "finally they hold on to one" which kinda suggests a few. I know about the Overton one that ended in a run out.

 

[Petcha]

4 i think. Although the fourth led to a run out.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Shit a goat, Burns is out again

 

[Petcha]

Christ. A number three with an average of under 30.

Cheers. You sent me on a chase. Overton (the fucking Nazi) twice, Bairstow and Root. Bairstow's was regulation apparently? But slips getting let off by cricinfo who say the ball is swinging late, between the edge and the slips. Root let out a naughty word about this apparently.

 

[planetgeli]

Burns is shit, I've been saying this forever now. Amazing that someone a few posts ago was saying his place is nailed on. The man averages about 30 ffs and it's going down not up.

 

[planetgeli]

Whoops.

What is Warne on about. Keeps banging on about why Bumrah wasn't given the new ball. He was. From the end he wanted. The ball doesn't become old after one over.

he's just got the right Epsom --> Shitgift ---> Surrey credentials to make him seem twice as good as he his to the selectors.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Just put a stream of the Sky coverage on. Shane Warne is such an insufferable cunt.

Crawley is the natural replacement but he is completely out of form. Personally I’d send out an SOS to that farmer for one last dig at the Aussies.

 

[SpookyFrank]

I still don't remember which one is Sibley and which one is Crawley.

 

[brogdale]

I still don't remember which one is Sibley and which one is Crawley.

Sibley is the one with the test average of 28.9, whereas Crawley's is 28.3.
Do keep up.

 

[RileyOBlimey]

What was Hameed thinking going after that from Bumrah?!

 

[RileyOBlimey]

Overton out with a very similar, daft shot that dismissed Hameed. Numptie.

 

[RileyOBlimey]

Tits. Malan out. 62/5

In the pavilion?

 

[RileyOBlimey]

In gingers we trust.

 

[brogdale]

In gingers we trust.

With some justification...it would seem?

 

[Petcha]

They really need to something about the over rate in test cricket. I hate Bumble but I agree with his pet hate of people running drinks on every 10 overs. WTF is the point of a drinks break then?

 

[RileyOBlimey]

Right, cross everything. It’s all about the next half hour.

 

[RileyOBlimey]

Oh Johnny.
