England Cricket 2022

[WhyLikeThis]

How different does this team feel?!

 

[SpookyFrank]

Fair play those lads. Fair fucking play.

 

[two sheds]

fucking hell I really didn't think they'd do it

 

[kabbes]

Incredible victory. Sensational batting.

 

[Spymaster]

What a day to have a free ticket to a test match!

[Mogden]

Atmosphere is good here. Never mind warm, it's prickly hot. This will either be a magnificent chase I'll be telling people about for years to come or a collapse.

I wasn't wrong

 

[planetgeli]

Worth saying twice Spy.

 

[tommers]

Blimey.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

? I called it a road. Which it absolutely is. NZ fucked up their 2nd innings.

I'm not so sure they did fuck it up that much. They wanted to win, needed to win. Setting 299 to win in 72 overs wasn't a bad equation to come up with. It was right in the balance 90 minutes ago.

 

[Mogden]

It's only the greatest Test if Mogden catches the winning 6 in his pint glass.

Her and I haven't been drinking

 

[Mogden]

That was the most boundaries ever scored, ever. And I was here

Présentation time now

 

[Puddy_Tat]

 

[Mogden]

Just to rub it in

 

[planetgeli]

Setting 299 to win in 72 overs wasn't a bad equation to come up with.

Yeah. Just the 22 overs out.

 

[Mogden]

I've been listening to TMS instead of the drunk twat next door but one so I know the stats already. Incredible amount of runs post tea.

Unfortunately I think Stokes will be out for a while.

Yeah he absolutely had to stay out there. Adrenaline gets you through in that situation but you pay for it later. Hopefully it didn't cause further damage.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Who's vice captain now then if Stokes is injured for the next one?

Give it to Broad for a laugh I reckon.

Would be good. It'll be Root, though. There isn't an official VC at the moment.

Stokes says his knee is fine. 9 days to the next Test.

Potts

I'd politely disagree. I had my field glasses on him when it clocked him and he was not in the least comfortable. Sincerely hope I'm wrong.

Just an aside, and this isnt a bad thing, Alistair Cooke always sounds very slightly pissed.

He's posh, they're just like that.

Yeah. He won't know until tomorrow. Certainly can't know with all that adrenaline pumping right afterwards.

 

[Indeliblelink]

Fantastic! Just fantastic. I'll be watching the highlights later

Will the hilights be on 4OD or is it BBC? Was listening to TMS but would like to see Bairstow's knock.

On BBC2 now and I presume on iplayer later

Cheers, in the pub for now but hope to watch later.

Anyway, about this 'bad' innings people on here were talking about from Stokes in the first innings that moved the game on by about half a session, paving the way for this...

 

[planetgeli]

20/20 just rewrote the rules of Test cricket. And that's a good thing (nobody really saw coming).
