The England Cricket Thread

I do love the psychological warfare in cricket. The mind games between teams.

No way we can win this now, but it was a good fight while it lasted.

Cummins should go full bazball now. If it comes off and you score 30 before we know what's happened, you might still be in with a shout. But there's no way you're grinding out a win playing defensively now.

A good test match is the best sporting spectacle in the world. They're few and far between, but when they happen nothing matches them for drama.

Trouble is, I don't think our tail has what it takes to go bazball.

I agree, but (and I know this will bite me in the ass) they definitely don't have what it takes to grind out 72 in this situation.

Good work. Pigeoned them.

I love it when a plan comes together

His middle name is Barrie, and his nickname has been Baz for years.

It's 2:30 am, and I refuse to go to bed until this match is over because I know there's no way I could sleep. Does that answer your question?

 

[manic111]

Does this have to finish at 7? Or can it be extended?

Won't be much longer

They will have already pushed their dinner back half an hour, we can't expect them to eat at 7:30. Cricket is a civilised sport for civilised people.

Need another one quick, these two are livening up

10 overs with the new ball?

They really need to stop showing replays of first innings wickets. I'm working, so only half concentrating on the cricket, and keep getting overly excited.

Outrageous, you should be fully concentrating on the cricket!
