The Cricket Thread

i have to admit throwing a few ****s at some of the shots but was pleasantly surprised to come back to the house see Root and Archer had put on the late runs.May well set my alarm for tomorrow.

 

And on the day that Steve Cropper passed away, here is one of Booker T's signature tunes for cricket lovers.

 

I don't see any reason to be critical of that mini cluster of wickets before Jofra came out. Seems pretty clear that we were happy to bowl in those conditions (with the pink ball), but didn't want to just declare in order to do so. So instead: have a whack, and either the runs flow or we get on with bowling. Stokes would have seen that as a win-win.

 

Wonderful , thanks for posting

 

England all out for 334

 

And now the aussies are confirming that there is very little in this pitch and it is easy to score on. If only half of our batting line up didmt just give their wicket away

 

Jof to the rescue!

 

3 down. And conditions should be more suited to bowling now.

 

266-3

 

I've come to the conclusion that Carse is ****. Tongue should be playing over him.

 

All he does is bang it in and hope for the best. He's absolute crap.

 

England being baz balled out of the ashes in 4 days.

 

Jesus. 2 dropped catched now. How do we make it so hard for ourselves.

 

Have I done a Tom?

 

Drop Carey, catch Smith instead. I call that genius!

 

What a catch from Jacks!

 

Two new batsmen in these conditions. We must take advantage.

 

Oh really? You've Tommed Green.
"Decent setup from Brydon Carse who outfoxed Cameron Green with a two-card trick.
Carse followed Green backing away to leg with a bouncer the previous ball - deemed a wide - and then fires in the yorker which clatters into his stumps."
And another! Away he goes bye bye Smiffy.

 

Stokes!
