Cricket - England in India

Is it like Rounders?

 

I say, that looks like spiffing fun.

 

Looks better than cricket anyway

 

71-4 no way is this lasting 4 days

 

Looks like England are planning to declare tomorrow evening at the rate they're going. Whether it's a 2 or 3 day game depends on how well Ireland can apply themselves in their second innings. Hard to see a 4th day though.

 

Crawley got a lucky half century, just not good enough. The Aussies will slaughter him.

 

The rest of our top 6 could play defensively and do alright if needed, with Crawley he has to throw the bat at it because he has obvious flaws. It's like he is trying to score as many runs as fast as he can because its inevitable he'll be out soon. I want him to do well but he makes you watch from behind the couch, he'll probably average in the midteens for the Ashes.

 

Concerned

 

Carnage so far this morning.

 

Ireland are becoming a respectable one day side. They look a very poor test side. It's clear they've got no clue and no plan.

 

503-2

80 overs

 

Was disappointed in the declaration. I know we’ll almost certainly win but would have preferred to see us grind their bowlers into the ground possibly permanently destroying their confidence. It’s what the Aussies would have done to us.

 

Dragged it into three somehow.

That’s the Micks out the way, now let’s be having the roo shaggers

 

**** off Nazi.

 

Jack Leach out of The Ashes

 

They did, surprisingly and take the bad look off it!

 

Need Stokes to come in and steady the sh....oh...
