Off Topic Joe Root..

A century in his 100th test.. What a player.. Loving being able to watch test cricket with it being on Channel 4.

 

Third century this year, including a double. I think there's a halfa in there too maybe.

3 tests in.

****ing mental run of form.

 

Graphic on 4 showing his average for 2021 at 136.5. Career average 50.09.

 

The man is back in fine form ahead of an ashes year. You love to see it.

 

This. I think the outcome in Sri Lanka would have been somewhat different without him. Haven't seen the cricket but just checked the score, gutted for Sibley

 

All right for some, doing phonics ar oo and how many ways to make 7 this morning.

Yes Root after a poor 2020 has started 2021 displaying the talent we know he has.

 

He'd fished out a few Yorkers today already. It was a good ball. Root is just in fine form.

 

Ha. I've got a Y4 and we've been on fractions all week. I've had to use google more than once. Once again I can only praise teachers for their patience and willingness to teach.

 

Luckily my youngest is fast approaching 19, so no home schooling for me.

 

Yes huge respect for Primary teachers.
My g'kids are in reception and Y3.

We are using Seesaw, Epic, Teams and dojo and once a week pick stuff up from the school. Its bloody hard

Gives you a chance to show off you calculus, integration....

 

I can still remember pi to about 12 digits if that's any good.

 

Yes we used to learn that as well as the spelling for Mississippi...off rote did we not

 

Excellent by Joe Root, he's really turned it around from last year and he's now looking confident in kicking on from his 50's all the way through to his century which has all too often been his achilles heel.

We are batting better than we ever have done on these slow turning wickets. Just lacking that class spin bowler now who will bamboozle opposing sides in these games.

I'm looking forward to seeing Ollie Pope batting again soon. He's the most talented English batsman that I've ever seen.

 

Be no cricket in this country today i reckon ! bog snorkelling maybe. going to the new massive B&M pallion just now nice items in there.

 

Cant wait for the ashes. Seriously good chance of winning in Australia.

 

Who are the top test side in the world at present?

 

I have tried to see if C4 are running highlights, or catch-up... can't find any?

 

India, I think.

 

I think we'll be up there shortly. However, my worry is the bowling attack. Anderson and Broad don't have much time left at the top and I don't see anyone is stands out.

 

I thought India but New Zealand have already qualified for this 'final' at Lords in Summer from all of the test playing nations. India should also qualify I think unless we better them this series.
