The Ashes & Hampshire Cricket Summer Thread - II

Not really, if the light is deemed to be dangerous for the players they will go off immediately. Same for rain.

 

They are far more lenient with the weather for T20 matches than test matches. They will play T20 matches in the rain if not too heavy.

 

Cook gone for 25 :-(

 

Cook may have to drop himself soon. Only joking, form is temporary etc. 91-1 not too shabby, just need to keep chipping away. Joe Root 50.

 

Absolutely, Cook is there for his captaincy skills as well as his runs, and as Fran implies, he will come good soon with the bat.

 

Oh dear what a dreadful shot from Root. Very poor batting.

 

129-2 .

 

England have a long tail. Only Bell, Prior and the 5 bowlers to come.

Petersen and Trott need to hang around for a long time.

 

Pietersen looks completely out of sorts. Hopefully he can survive the next few overs and start to look better

 

KP nearly runout.

 

Voakes is classed as an all-rounder isn't he?

 

KP has had enough - smacks Smith over his head for 4.

 

Woakes is a bowler but he can bat - like Broad or Bresnan.

 

Trott gone lbw review coming.

 

Trott out - review wasted.

 

Fine, double centuries from both Pietersen and Bell now please.

 

May have been wasted, but can see why they did it. We failed to appeal and lost a player unnecessarily in the last Test.

 

Australia perfectly demonstrate a wasted review.

 

This has got to be the most boring day of a test match ever.

 

Yep too true. Can some-one explain how the Aussies average nearly 4 an over and we struggle to get above 2!
