The Cricket Thread

England have won the toss and will bat. Not as big an advantage as the first 2 tests to bat first but still a bonus.

 

[Ronnie Hotdog (MLsfc)]

Making the most of seeing Anderson & Broad playing together - there surely can't be many more times we will be lucky enough to enjoy 2 of our best ever bowlers players together.

 

[tomw24]

Bit concerned at the size of our tail. Need the top order to deliver.

 

[tomw24]

And there goes Sibley.

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Well Sibley won't be delivering.

 

[tomw24]

Well that raced away for 4. Outfield is super quick.

 

[tomw24]

What a shocking review.

 

[Ronnie Hotdog (MLsfc)]

Johnny thought he had hit the ball then - it was your own pads you hit fella

 

[fran-MLs little camera]

Why don't we just start with 9 players and save everyone's time.

 

[tomw24]

So yet again it's all down to Root.

 

[Number 1 Jasper]

OH MY GOD .

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Would be nice to think of these two building a partnership. Crawley looking immaculate.

 

[Ronnie Hotdog (MLsfc)]

So yet again it's all down to Root.

Crawley not following the script!

 

[tomw24]

We need to make hay (or runs) quite literally while the sun shines because it's not going to be easy when the sun goes down.

 

[tomw24]

Christ that was close.

 

[tomw24]

Now we're in trouble.

 

[Ronnie Hotdog (MLsfc)]

Crawley needs a huge score because we only have Pope & Foakes after these 2 - that tail is not looking too sharp.

 

[tomw24]

Pathetic again from England.

 

[tomw24]

No ability to play spin whatsoever.

 

[tomw24]

May as well go into one day mode. Get as many runs as possible before the inevitable.
