I’ll let him know it was your fault he got out
Lords, the home of cricket, unable to prepare a half decent Test wicket. Worse than that.... You'd get complaints if presented with that wicket at club level. They can't even blame a long season, or excessive weather conditions.
 
NZ need 254 to win
Either way, there won’t be a day 4 or 5 unless the weather intervenes.
16 wickets yesterday, 14 so far today plus however many in the final 15 overs today.
EDIT: 0-1 already!!
 
I don’t get cricket sometimes.
Don’t play when conditions eventually allow play to take lunch instead .Inevitably, the rain them comes again when they do get on the field.
Cricket seems stuck in the 19th century in so many ways with its traditions and bureaucracy, yet the authorities will happily sacrifice what’s good about the long form of the game to accommodate the bastard love child of T20 - or worse still , the pointless Hundred
<doh> <doh> <doh>
 
Will these ****ers never learn... <doh>

They earn a scratchy win on a dodgy surface after humiliating themselves in the Ashes and instead of knuckling down and working hard for the rest of the series they **** off to a nightclub at the first opportunity.

Stokes in particular a) has previous and b) has the responsibility as Captain. He's not even in good form himself.

A suspension or removal of the captaincy might damage morale, but maybe that's a price to pay.

Trump attended his first Knicks games in 40+ years during Game 3 of the NBA finals

...you already guessed the crowd response, even before they wound up losing the game
Attended it, having caused untold disruption to all the Nicks fans who had to arrive 2 hours earlier than planned, undergo additional security checks and have their outside MSG screen viewings cancelled. And then the ****er falls asleep....
