The England Cricket Thread

[Sankari]

Looks like good bowling weather for Broad, at least in the morning anyway.

I'm absolutely loving that England are playing test cricket in such a way that the weather intervening is the only way we can draw a match. Especially as it coincides with the post covid world so I get to watch most of the match in the background while working from home.

Nothing until 13:10 at the earliest after an early lunch.

 

[Sankari]

I guess that gives Australia a better chance of a draw, which is better than a loss.

Hopefully the ball swings like a demented pendulum with these conditions

Roll on the Bazball

 

[SoliD]

thats a very sloppy outfield.

 

[adidan]

Come on lads, there's still a watchman there.

 

[JamesH85]

Doesn't seem much movement yet on the ball. Spoke too soon, good bit of swing off Jimmy.

There was a little there...

This is looking ominous, we are going to be praying for more rain if the wickets don't start to fall!

Finally the nightwatchman goes

run rate slowing down now anyway.

 

[Sankari]

Oh ********.

 

[JamesH85]

Come on lads, another in the next couple of overs.

 

[Sankari]

We need at least 3 runs per over to win this. It's not gonna happen.

 

[Barry Weiss]

we need some quick wickets

playing like a t20 and going for it once you've got wickets left neaeer the end.

Ironically, this is the kind of situation Warner is usually good for.
