Off Topic Cricket.....yay!

[Tramore Ranger]

It's back with the first test in Southampton against the WIindies....

As per normal it's been raining but eventually Sir Ben won the toss and decided to bat in overcast conditions....

As per normal England are already 1 down sibley bowled.....so 0-1 after 2 overs....

 

[Tramore Ranger]

And it's raining......ah normality

Surprising decision to bat.

You might have guessed after the best Spring/early Summer weather ever we'd get rain for this match, normal service resumed...

Because the last few series the BBC have been out bid by Talk sport . I Love tms , but I stand by what I said . Not everyone like Cricket .

Sounds like we need a bit of ball tampering to liven things up.
Ahh, the memories......

Only a good Ashes series can get me excited in cricket anymore.
I miss the days of England captain, Tony Grieg and Australia captain, Ian Chappell going toe to toe.
John Snow and Derek Underwood versus Lillee & Thompson firing down the pitch.

I noticed on boundary boards the hashtag 'Raisethebat', Sibley followed it to the letter, pillock...

 

[Tramore Ranger]

Ah how I've missed these England batting collapses......like we've never been in lockdown.....

[jeffranger]

Not much has changed then! I would’ve put them in after winning the toss with overhead conditions

 

[KentGaz]

All set for an interesting 5th day

I heard that England were going to start playing cricket again after the coronavirus lockdown, when do they start?

 

[Stroller]

If England can squeeze out another 30 or so runs this morning, there could be an exciting end to this one.

 

[Star of David Bardsley]

7-2 now, maybe 7-3 in reality. Far more exciting than any football I’ve seen for a while.

Bess gets a plum LBW and it’s not given due to umpire’s call.

You sound like someone who's had a bet on England.
