That's what I meant Cromer, she was born there with their sporting prowess but represents us now, maybe Agar was born here, with our humility but now bats for the other side!
leave my desk for ten minutes to attend a meeting and come back and we lost two wickets, who cursed them?
Cross those frickin' legs if you need to - or make one out of an empty lemonade bottle - but STAY PUT!!
Every time we seem to get a grip on the game it all goes breasts vertical. I thought that Cook and KP looked really well set and then to lose both in 10 minutes to fairly poor shots is irritating. Let's hope that Bell has an on day and Bairstow decides its time to play a decisive innings. I don't see us needing too many more to make a game of it but I won't be comfy until our lead is north of 200 where I'd give us an even money shot and make us favourites the nearer to a 250 lead we can grind out. That said the way this test has gone we could be all out in an hour or these two could put on 200!
The Cricket Paper ‏@TheCricketPaper Highest successful fourth innings run chase @TrentBridge is 284. England are a long way from setting that but it's an interesting yardstick.
this has been a fantastic test match so far. the tension is almost too much and we're only (potentially) half way through.
For those of you aren't too clued up on the 'ins and outs' of cricket, this may help. (pun intended by the way ) You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!

Silly point - all in the name Slip - bat slip was going to carry on then saw Norfolkbhoy had posted link to website.
Long stop The position of long stop has been obsolete from the game at Test level for about one hundred years. However in earlier times this was a very important position and often a team would have a specialist in this position. This was because the level of wicketkeeping skill was not very high. At this time wicketkeeping had not yet become a specialist position, as the bowlers would often take turns keeping wickets. With the advent of wicketkeeping as a specialist skill and an improvement in the playing surfaces late in the 19th Century saw this position become redundant. Saw this on the link, but it is not really obsolete as they now use fine leg in most teams to cover the slips and wicket keeper maybe not in test or first lass games
Even though it is simple Shannock terminology, it's still probably too advanced for you to understand crab boy Hope all is well mate
