England Cricket 2022

Seems like one of those novel ideas like Rory Burns' silly stance. Ok if it comes off but you'll look a right dick if it goes wrong.

Just learn to bat properly, ffs!

Like that.

 

[planetgeli]

Oh look, he didn't know where his off stump was after all that farting around.

Looks like a delayed start is possible. Then a murky start, ideal for a quick couple of wickets. Then Broad and Anderson can tuck in with the new ball wrapping up the NZ innings in time for lunch. The day brightens as England come out to bat and all is well. That or I need some medication.

1. Slight delayed start.
2. Murky start and quick wickets
3. Broad and Anderson wrap up NZ before lunch.
4…..

If you'd predicted Charles de Gaulle having a brain-fade I'd be worshipping you by now.

Yeah...and then England bat...

The Lees thing was mad. He was literally sorting out how he was going to play from scratch in the middle of a Test match.

"Just go out and be yourself Alex"

"Who am I?"

again

On plus side, we won’t have to watch Crawley bat anymore…this match at least.

 

[planetgeli]

Fuck off Pope.

Oh how unlucky, he got a good one. Give him another ten goes.

 

[planetgeli]

Nice T20 effort from Jonny there. He was nearly out the ball before.

Reasons not to wind up seamers.

Game over tbh.

 

[planetgeli]

Reasons not to wind up seamers.

Reasons not to drive at every fucking ball.

 

[planetgeli]

And Pope might have got a good one (in Test cricket! whould've thunk it?) but he was playing across the line.

We. Can't. Bat.

 

[sleaterkinney]

I had to pop out and it will all be over by the time I get back.

Stokes doesn’t look like he wants to hang around, lining himself up for an embarrassing dismissal bounding down the wicket.

 

[planetgeli]

Oh dear...but wait!

No-ball!

It didnt take a crystal ball

 

[planetgeli]

Can you all just stop fucking about with fresh guards, running down the wicket and running stupid singles and play some Test cricket? Is that too much to ask?

 

[planetgeli]

Fuck me. England captain playing like that.

 

[Sasaferrato]

I'm off to watch some paint dry, marginally more interesting. The batting is fucking awful.

England are demonstrating they think they’re shit. It’s a common gambling bias - when the chips are down it’s common to take higher risks instead of sticking to the analysed plan. McCullum is well know gambler and he’s likely very shit at it.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Oh dear. Awful day for CdG. And turning against NZ now? Wicket off a no-ball, then losing a bowler. How Patel bowls after tea is going to be crucial. Needs to keep it tight and pick up one or two.

 

[Petcha]

Havent seen any of this today but looks suitably crazy again. This has not been a regular test.

All set for Stokes to play hero again here.

 

[planetgeli]

Pretty sure they can't continue to get away with it like that, that was bizarre. One goes they all go, +100 run defeat by end of the day?

 

[WhyLikeThis]

Here’s hoping that dig in the ribs will wind in the more extravagant shots.

 

[steveo87]

That's game over then...

I reckon you might regret that.

 

[planetgeli]

Mmmmm now then...
