Can it just tip it down down?

Roll on the football season.

 

[Bodian]

All going a bit pear-shaped now

Brook gone chasing a wide one.

Well batted... but ultimately disappointing.

Harry Brook c Smith b Starc 85 (91b 11x4 2x6) SR: 93.4

212-7 (from 184-3)

 

[KZNSeagull]

Brook gone for 85. 212-7

[Pevenseagull]

f*** it.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Collapse!!

 

[Muzzman]

Glad Cricket isn't THAT important. Really looking forward to the footie season now.

Bairstow fails again.. Surely Foakes is the one for India and let Bairstow focus on limited overs. When we are in need of a dig in innings he doesn't step up.

 

[schmunk]

Meh, we've already 'lost' the Ashes...

 

[Titanic]

119-4 in the session from just 24 overs... 40 left in the day (that won't happen!)

250-7 (50 overs)

Woakes 15* and Wood 23* still there having put on 38.

 

[The Wizard]

Woakes didn’t even notice a massive inside edge

 

[Titanic]

Odd one... don't think Woakes knew he has hit that

He HIT the next one - straight through the covers for four

Is it not too dark to be bowling their fast bowlers?? Lights on.

Eh? they would come off given half a chance. Steal more time out of the game.

Thought we had to play our spinners the other day, as it was too dark. That’s what I meant anyway

We had the choice of coming off or bowling our spinners. So would they and we know which they would go for.

 

[Titanic]

Murphy bowls Wood

Mark Wood b Murphy 26 (29b 4x4 0x6) SR: 89.65

261-8

The game is moving on apace.

Ah okay, fair enough. I’ll stick to football

Warner's sphincter will be twitching!
