England Cricket 2024

[Zapp Brannigan]

Gotta give Root and Brooke a go at Lara's 400* surely?

Gotta at least try and win the match. Play the next session in 1 day (T20?) mode, see where we get to.

That's how we'd lose.

Just keep batting and see what those two can do.

They're already playing in ODI mode, scoring at over 6 all morning so yeh. Next level time. 100 mode.

 

[two sheds]

Highest ever test partnership beating 411

 

[Petcha]

13 off that over

For England...
Sangakkara and Jayawardene put on 624 for Sri Lanka against South Africa!

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

That's how we'd lose.

Just keep batting and see what those two can do.

The loss is only 100 runs and one session away from being completely out of the equation; Pakistan (typical rr: 3 to 3.5 / over) would need 2 full sessions to get parity and another to get a lead that couldn't be knocked off in 5 overs. They're not going to go out there with 6 / over in mind, from here their good result is a draw.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Brook is in T20 mode, no question. His 300 (if he gets there) is going to be very close to a run a ball.

 

[tommers]

Root gone.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Nooooooooooooooo

 

[two sheds]

He walked on LBW apparently - probably just knackered

 

[Petcha]

He walked on LBW apparently - probably just knackered

he was back in his crease. it would have been hitting the middle of middle. didn't even bother asking Brook.

 

[Petcha]

Lovely to see every single Pakistani player run over to congratulate him on his way out

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

All the wickets to fall since lunch yesterday have fallen to part-time spin. Root to open the bowling.

 

[a_chap]

Root and Brook are going to be pretty tired when Pakistan bat.

England won't be able to rely on their pace attack...

I did wonder whether it was that or he didn't want to waste a review

 

[Spymaster]

Woeful crowd attendance again.

The ground's pretty much empty.

 

[Spymaster]

What's the name of something that's even flatter than a road?

 

[a_chap]

Brook's in the nervous 290s...

 

[planetgeli]

Well done Harry Brook. A run a ball 300

 

[tommers]

Brook's in the nervous 290s...

Not any more.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

800 here we come!!

 

[planetgeli]

800 here we come!!

10 minutes?

 

[a_chap]

Oh no! Two wickets in the over.

The wheels have come off for England....!

 

[planetgeli]

Collapse! In the late 700s!

 

[tommers]

Wheels falling off now. Be lucky to make 900.

 

[tommers]

Lol.

 

[planetgeli]

Fucking lol. 800 with a 6. Off his second ball in test cricket.

This is ridiculous.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

Clever from England. Make the pitch look dangerous, mind games.

Edit - scratch that, we're hitting 6s. The 1000 is on!

 

[Petcha]

This is cruelty. Ironically not a great advert for test cricket.
