The Cricket Thread

Very Vince-like so far.

 

Let’s hope he can move on, he looks like he’s enjoying these conditions.

 

Not enjoying the commentary so far....I may have to turn it off. Can't take the Australian whine for too long...I find that I'm not even taking in what they are saying. Hope it gets more entertaining.

 

Hoping to listen to Tim’s going into work at 6 am . If play is still going at that time .

 

50 for Vince!

 

103-1, 100 partnership between Vince and Stoneman.

 

127-2 Cummins bowls Stoneman for 53. Root comes to the crease.

 

145-3, Vince run out for 83. Bugger.

 

Ah Vince never a run there.

 

Great fielding from Lyon. Vince will be gutted there was a ton to be had.

 

At least he went on to a decent score after coming in earlier than he would have wanted. It was an amazing run out though!

 

He's certainly eased the pressure on himself. Very important he got a score early in the series.

 

Root gone for 15, lbw Cummins. Absolutely plumb.

 

is there a dodgy ashes stream?

 

From 246-4 to 302 all out . Hmmmm

Guess we won’t know until the Aussies have a bat .

 

In the balance. How I hate these situations. It's like coming back to 2-2 at Wembley all over again. For "next goal is critical" read "get this bugger Smith out now".

 

Found a stream right as England's collapse began in earnest, and Australia following suit. Cricket is apparently a very low-scoring sport on the rare occasion where I watch.

 

76-3 at tea .

 

If I were to be thinking that we get them out giving us a lead of around 80, then we collapse for less than 60 and they win by 9 wickets, would you think I've supported Saints for too long?

 

And this is why waking up to see 165-4 is better than watching it live and seeing 76-4.... I fear the moment has gone to make history at this ground.
