The Cricket Thread

With no spectators allowed, places like Gib

Given where Corfu is, Albania would be better, and then you can always hire a boat from there.

 

True, I think there's a ferry.
Having a look on the seat61 site for train routes to Greece from the Netherlands, for future reference when traveling is safe.
Found this, we'd take a week or more each way, possibly one way via Italy then via Albania on an Eastern route with more buses. Couple of weeks around the island including a bit of cricket.

Toss at 1:30, play at 2 pm

 

I’d need a longer lie down than. 30 minutes.....

 

SSSSooooooo Pleased to Hear TMS again

Sadly though I fear it's days are numbered .

 

I've not been reading too much into it. Still very dark, and looking out the window it looks like it could tip it down at any time.

 

It’s brightened up nicely 60 miles away here in Somerset, which is where it’s coming from.

 

Yep looks like Lara will get his wish for the match not to be five days

 

England choose to bat first. Hmm.....

 

Stokes said it didn’t look like there was much pace in the wicket.

 

Wood and Archer did look proper fast in the warm-up match last week. I'm just not sure about leaving out Broad AND Woakes in home conditions.

Then again, it's a weak WI batting line-up, and you'd back any of our five guys to have success.

 

So here we go, better late than never, gave me time to find some Palm beer. Play.

 

Dom Sibley social distancing from the ball.

 

With you in Somerset, it is bound to be brightening up.

 

It is bright and warm where I am!!

 

Not an entire surprise to lose three relatively early ones. Helpful conditions, decent bowlers, inexperienced batsmen, lack of build-up preparation. Just need to try and avoid a few early ones becoming an all-out low total.

 

Gabriel seems to be the major threat at the moment, he’s been bang on.

 

Not surprised at that one getting overturned. Just looked out live.

 

Should have bowled first.

 

I have been thinking just that. Looks a strange decision in hindsight.
