What an over from Broad this is
What an over from Broad this is
yeah keep bouncing it mate
These short balls
Think he might have this sussed you know Stokes.
251 to win it is.
Those extra 20-30 runs for free at the end will likely come back to haunt.
Should absolutely piss it.
A bit like when they got England in to bad for that disastrous 30 mins, getting bowling at the right time could turn this. Some twists and turns in this yet.
Duckett has properly Bairstow'd that. Fuck's sake.
Get the cape ready, Benjamin.
Apparently Crawley and Duckett have our highest opening partnership average (50.68) since Cook/Compton.
Could do with Joe Root actually doing something here
RIP the Mo-hawk.
Stokes better get oiled up for another rescue job.
Crawley gonna Crawley.
Crawley gotta be one of the most infuriating players to watch. He looks like he should be an obscene player.
All the shots, nothing between the ears.
'WinVis' can do one. This is a proper 50/50 game.
Presumably it doesn't factor in Englandness.Originally Posted by Gray Fox
uhoh
Ohhhh, nervy ending awaits. If Bairstow had anything about him he’d win this here himself
mark wood to get the winning runs with a 6
How many tickles down the leg side have there been in this series? Seems like one of the prime methods of dismissal.
Will have to at this rate.
If Bairstow starts anymore tests this series then there’s some serious issues. Awful with the bat and somehow even worst with the gloves
Oh well, this was fun while it lasted.
Has all the feel of the original 5-0 series now where we kept [inexplicably] doing just enough to lose every game.
Good job the football season is rolling round again as the rest of the sporting summer is going up in smoke.
3rd test on the trot where England should really have won. Still could here, but there's nothing when Brook goes.
Johnny Bairstow might not be able to bat or keep, but at least he brings his freaky weirdo personality to the dressing room.
Good stuff from Brook here. Proper innings
well done
Hopefully Broad gets in and wins it
close enough
Well we just about scraped over the line. Some shambolic batting again though.
Good stuff. Hopefully get a decider in the 5th
Foakes for Bairstow, literally anyone for Mo, win the ashes boys.
There's probably about as much chance of me getting a call-up as Bairstow being dropped.
Foakes for Bairstow and Tongue for Robinson assuming Stokes isn’t dead.
I would be very surprised if they canned Bairstow. This side is all about macho bravado. You don't admit when you're wrong.
Nobody believes they'll drop Bairstow, only hopes for it.
And Bairstow has the gloves again.
Ashwin got out Tangerine Chanderpaul (I cant read his name as anything else) to get out both father and son.
Good game in the washes today. England on a bit of a miracle run to level things up.
Big Rakheem Cornwall back in the Windies Test team. He’s currently trying to drag them to a half decent score but nearly got run out taking a single to long on. Aptly supported by the jack of the team sauntering about without a care in the world, packing more flair into his dreadlocks than the all the Windies’ 21st century teams put together.

Blimey, he doesn't have come across as a cunt here. A handful of quotes I could pick to illustrate this but let's have a go with this one:
Ah, you mean doing the job of openers, Ben? Revolutionary stuff.“Zak is a very witty guy, and he plays more attractive shots than me. We haven’t properly fired yet this series but I said over a couple of beers: ‘Me and you, let’s do a session or longer, because if we do, we will put the team in such a good position.’”
'A very witty guy' is killing me for some reason.
The mad thing about Crawley and Duckett is that they are statistically our best opening partnership in ages yet Crawley is garbage.
Yeah, says a lot for the absolute shambles that has been England trying to find openers.
Third disciplinary of the year yesterday, this time for dissent, which is absolutely rampant at the moment. These people act like victims, but if we had the stomach for the amount of paperwork involved in doing them all then half the league would be under sanction at any one time. My bloke was hit back pad in front of middle and off, what do you want me to do?
I did enjoy this from the Middlesex league though:
Sounds like a fun afternoon out.27th May : Ealing Hanwellians vs Lanka Lions ; Surapinder Singh (EHA 015) was found guilty of a Level
3(m) offence in that that player “intimidated an umpire by language or gesture” and is suspended for the
2023 season.
27th May : Ealing Hanwellians vs Lanka Lions ; Naresh Naresh (EHA 037) was found guilty of a Level 4(o)
offence in that that player “threatened to assault an umpire” and is suspended for the 2023 season and the
2024 season pending a review prior to the 2024 season.
Somerset T20 champions again. Was at Edgbaston y’day and can confirm it was the bees. Defencing circa 140 twice on finals day must be unheard of.
Is it notably rampant among players of a certain age? Like is it young players coming through being entitled cunts or is it just everybody is getting arsier?
Great day wasn’t it. Did well to only lose 9 overs.Somerset T20 champions again
