The Cricket Thread

I wonder what odds you could have got on an India win when Stokes and Bairstow were hitting it all around the ground?

 

A bit like watching Saints.
Just waiting for the “Batting collapses when in a winning position” chart to come up on the screen.

 

I mean, really, winning this would be fun, but losing from 285-1? That would be truly memorable. And aren't memories really what sport is about?

 

We won .

 

Just about.

 

By 6 wickets.

 

Very comfortable win. This time we didn't throw away a good start.

 

Never in doubt

 

Indeed! I wasn’t worried at all ....

 

Who needs death bowlers when you have death batsmen?

 

Where can you watch the highlights for these games?

 

Only on Sky unfortunately.

If you have Saintsplayer you can watch them on catchup of course.

 

Absolute nonsense that we can't even watch the highlights of big games like this. I hate sky.

 

Comes down to the BCCI as to what they choose to sell, for how much, and to whom, for this entire tour. At one stage it looked like they weren't going to sell the Test matches to anyone.

If a separate highlights package had been available to buy, someone like C4 would probably have been interested.

The ECB insist that a separate highlights package is available for England home games (which BBC currently have the rights to), but they have no power over overseas rights.

 

Livingstone gets a wicket with a leg-side full toss!

 

Great stuff Jos

 

What could have been 400 might now only be 320.

 

276-6 . Is Bairstow injured ?

 

He’s playing, just hasn’t been mentioned.

I just hope Mark Wood can complete his overs, he doesn’t look well.
