That looks like it should be a Crystal Palace third kit from 1993.

That looks like it should be a Crystal Palace third kit from 1993.
Who are the two on the left?
Blind and disability captains, I think. Blind captain doesn't know how lucky he is.
This kits are criminal. Throwback to pyjama cricket
Misbah is now the all-time leader for test 99's.

Great Test match approaching its climax between West Indies and Pakistan. Misbah's Last Stand currently in progress.
One of the great Pakistan mong outs this
Lol @ them playing tragedy when we take the 5th Irish wicket for 90odd
What's the 667 referring to?Quote:

Big Fat Ravi Rampaul absolutely donning it for the mighty brown hatters today. I wonder when cricket folk are finally going to realise that being a fat bastard is basically irrelevant in cricket (except in keeping hordes of 'strength and conditioning coaches' in work).
Mark Cosgrove still racking em up. Better player than some of the clown Australia have picked in the past ten years.
And let's not get back on my favourite player Big Fat Samit Patel.
Should have asked Ireland to bat again really.
Bit of a stutter from us in the middle here.
Also in the hit and giggle Narine (yes cheaty spinner Narine) has hit a 15 ball 50.
Regardless of the result it's nice to see a team playing us at Lord's which isn't bloody Australia, India, Sri Lanka or the other usual cunts.

Big Fat Samit putting the haters to rights on Sky right now. "I've never missed a game for England or Notts, that's fitness surely?"
Fat lads :cool:
I see the cobbers are in some sort of contractual dispute with their (admittedly dreadful) association.
lol
Just watching the Ashes on Sky Sports there - what happened to Simon Jones? Injuries?
Yeah, his knee was destroyed by the GABBA outfield on the first day of the follow up series.
Somebody writing in to the cricinfo live page has just in all seriousness called for Cook to return to the one day side.
I reckon if we won 500 games in a row then people would still complain that 5 of the team should be dropped.
Morgan's form since BOTTLING going to lovely Bangladesh has been very good tbf to him. Nice to see Moeen having a good one day knock as well.
Got to strongly fancy us for the Champions Trophy. Some question marks about the bowling but a fit Mark Wood would answer a couple of them.
He says as South Africa chase these down in 42.3 overs...
Woakes is the world's leading cricketer. The only worry is if we're forced to play Willey/Jordan.
Jade Dernbach should now be in the side, btw, but I doubt he'll ever play for England again.
If you could combine Willey's new ball swing and wickets with Jordan's death bowling and fielding we'd have a good option.
I will never believe that to be true.Quote:

Also, they don't watch county cricket and I do.
Sangakkara/Curran partnership of 179 ongoing for the rey. Kumar blazing to a 61st first class hundred. Still overshadowed by tweeting his cock in the middle of a game, but you can't have everything.
Sanga retiring at the end of the season? Looks like he could still be racking up tons in his fifties if he fancied it. What a player.
Yeah he is (from first class stuff anyway). These last three matches from him have been borderline unfair.
We'll have to replace him with a kolpak De Villiers, or something.
I missed a fairly epic South African choke by the looks of things.
Can't wait for us to get stuffed by the Bangles on Thursday.
England win and bowl against Athar Ali Khan's boys. Rashid dropped for Ball.
These 10.30 starts. Bring back Ian Austin and Martin Bicknell nibbling it around.
Tamim putting us to the sword as usual.
Cute little cricket game on the google homepage today.
Bowling attack is so samey. Should have played Rashid.
Ball for Rashid looking an inspired choice at the moment.
This is 340, isn't it?
And then Shakib prising us out for 194.
It should have been but they've Deshed it up again.
I'm getting very little done this afternoon due to this, unless you count smashing that stupid snail for more than my current record of 103.Quote:

Reckon the Fizz might do us in anyway. Jason Roy's not getting into form against that.
Race against time for the cobbers here.
lol
If this is anything like the rain we have here then they're fucked.
I was just out and we played a full T20 in the same rain. lol at Australia.
Love tournaments in this country which get spiced the fuck up by the weather and make various hot countries seethe.
Tomorrow looks like the only day it's going to be feasible to play in Cardiff as well.
Although Bolt and co under leaden skies at 10.30 in the morning might be a bit of a concern.
This tournament is getting absolutely negligible coverage in Australia.
Sign of the times.
Same here in NZ. Apparently we weren't very good this morning?
All America's Cup and Lions tour at the moment.
Sign of the times in that Australians largely ignore (deny the existence of) sport when they're rotten at it?Quote:

Australian media barely cover away series anyway do they? Ashes aside. Half the time you hear they don't even pay for TV/radio coverage or send journalists out.
