Apologies for starting a duplicate thread. I'll make up for it with a 65-0 at lunch prediction.

 

[Rodney Thomas]

4 down by lunch

 

[Titanic]

I've got tickets for tomorrow... not optimistic!

 

[Johners]

At least the forecast rain today & tomorrow means there should be plenty of play, weather permitting obviously, when I'm there on Saturday

 

[Titanic]

Jennings gone for a duck.. hardly laid a bat on one of his 9 balls from Philander... until he chased that one a bit and edged it to 3rd

12-1 (3.3 overs)

 

[brakespear]

welp, Jennings out for 0.

 

[Titanic]

Cricinfo sums it up pretty well...

3.3 Philander to Jennings, OUT, gottim, snapped up by third slip! He definitely got bat on that one, a brief but troubled stay is ended, Jennings falling for a duck to give SA another early opening. Textbook working over from Philander and Jennings wasn't up to it

 

[Beach Hut]

Jennings is clearly not fit for purpose concerning Test Cricket

 

[CHAPPERS]

New cricinfo is verging on unusable.

Hales in for Jennings, at least he might score you 20 before he gets out.

 

[Petee]

Philander to Jennings in this series; 23 balls he has bowled to him, Jennings has scored two runs and been out three times.

 

[Titanic]

New cricinfo is verging on unusable..

It is way too busy... and really annoying you can't scroll the top third of the screen out of the way

I do like the 'Statistics' box on the left of the 'Live' tab though.... with batting wagon-wheels and bowlers pitch maps

Control % 93%

Productive Shot

8 runs
2x4 - 0x6

How do you get it to automatically update the score on the 'LIVE' page?

 

[Titanic]

I didn't do anything... it just does update after every ball (and sometimes more than once - to add a bit of detail or longer comment)

 

[Titanic]

50 partnership (18.3 overs)

Alastair Cook 34* and Tom Westley 24*

[knocky1]

Towie.

 

[Titanic]

It has stopped! They didn't even make it off the field... and with 15 minutes to go before lunch they are straight back out in the middle

 

[Titanic]

Oh the hokey-cokey... they are off again

and they are going to take lunch.

England 62-1 (22.1 overs)

Cook 34*(77 balls, 4 fours) Westley 24*(47 balls, 5 fours)
