Oh, it used to be 18 months (except last time due to the WTC calendar). They must have set it now.

Dunno, the match we won at Headingly we were in a lot of bother, and there were quite a few other occasions where things suddenly swung (quite literally after that ball change). Fair assessment. At this stage I can't see us being anything other than battered in 18 months time.

I had you as favourite (y) I'm quite surprised, but it's true according to the boffins.

Poor guess that one, go back to Wisden and do not pass go.

Just learnt a stat from this Test match. It was the highest something, without something. I'll leave folk to guess.

Well, I guess that's all then folks. No cricket next month (although I think it's the 50 over thingy- perhaps we should have a thread for that). Yes, no cricket in August. NO cricket in August. Anyone with a short attention span who doesn't really like cricket can start one for The Humbug...

Say it as it is Jim !

I'd give Woakes MOM for this one.

I don't recall it being cold that day in the Mound Stand, but I do recall Warwicks being about 95-3 at tea and the bookies giving 7/1 for them winning. I also recall being condescendingly shown pity by Warwicks fans as I mournfully clapped Sussex on the pitch afterwards.

Blimey, they haven't been that since... you and I were playing together.

I raise you

It's instinct. And these happenings are rare. I remember taking a catch close in once in wet conditions. A really sharp catch. I brought my hands down and the ball slipped out. The batsman had turned and walked. I didn't call him back. 😇

I really don't know why. It's all very unfortunate. But no catch, so lost review. I think we've just thigh slapped the series there.

Come on England, make hay while the sun doesn't shine.

Very silly review.

Well I'm watching. It's impossible not to. No Test cricket till next year. Just that hybrid alien version next month. Like a toxic flora introduced to the countryside.

After tomorrow there will not be a Men's cricket Test match held in England for another 342 days.

I'd rather lose 3-1 going for 2-2 than meekly surrender the series in a damp squib.

For me, Woakes holds the key in these overhead conditions. Although whether they get out there again is difficult to know. Radar shows a lot of rain around.
