RHC's Cricket Thread

Dunno. Some ill-informed ****

 

He obviously knows nothing about cricket

 

This is very true

So come on then. You can't tell me you didn't enjoy that.

 

I didn't watch it but I did keep track of the scores (as I do every Ashes series) before watching the highlights

 

We didn't need a 300 lead.

 

That doesn't answer the question. does it?

 

Tms is the best cricket commentary by far. It's quintessentially English listening to blofeld talk about cake and wine with a bit of cricket thrown in.

 

298 then

 

Well, in that case I guess the answer is yes, I can tell you I didn't enjoy it as i didn't watch it

 

And pigeons...can't forget the Ashes pigeon count It'll be London buses from Thursday

 

Precisely.

 

This ^

 

So, if we had had a lead of 298 before the Aussies started their second innings, do you think we would have still won?

 

Say No to Test cricket.

ODI and 20/20 all the way! Woo hoooooo

 

We did win with a lead of 298.

 

No, we won with a lead of 311. If the Aussies had been chasing 298, they would have been a lot more sensible on the last couple of runs knowing they were so close to victory (not that 14 is a millions miles away mind). Plus, the English players would have been that bit more nervous too!

 

Don't be bloody ridiculous, James. The first test was ****ing awesome. Drama running right the way through from the first day to the last

 

We ****ing won. End of. Can't believe this is going from a bit of jokey banter to serious debate

 

Just wumming you pal

 

Glad to hear it
