£5 at Derbyshire

Over rate has been glacial again today.

Desperate review

And again…

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

Bloody hell

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Get Crawley out of there FFS.

Well out of the team sharpish, but certainly the cordon now. Clearly can't judge properly what he should be going for.

That was poor, so many four balls, overcommitting to 'attack' for way too long when the ball wasn't doing anything, wasting a chunk of the few chances we did make. Could have been even worse as at least three of the wickets we did take were gifted through bad shots.

 

[Nando]

Bracey has been incredible behind the stumps tonight.

One of the great collapses from Sussex. Needed 28 from 6 with 8 wickets in hand and managed to bork it. Outstanding effort.

£6.80 a pint at Trent Bridge. Wow

Was £5.50 at most bars but with £1 glass deposit on top that gets taken off each time you bring them back.

Was a good day with mates but terrible cricket.

Always baffles me international cricketers who can’t catch. Pretty routine and doesnt get a hand on it. I’d be annoyed at that at club level

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Weird thing was that he got there fairly comfortably, just flat out missed it.

This is all set to be a battering, even in benign conditions you can't see anything other than a large deficit if NZ make 500+ (as they should) with how flimsy our batting is.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Wouldn’t like to bat on this on day 4 and 5 and it’s already got a bit of turn. Although they haven’t picked a spinner unless they’ve got some part time option. No idea if this Bracewell bowls or not.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Bracewell bowls a little bit but he's around Root's standard with the ball I would say.

Finally a wicket!

Stokes catches Blundell for 106 off Leech,

405/5

Woo hoo, needed that, we're back in the game...

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

During the rain break they showed a nice segment about Michael Holding and Bumble. Both icons of cricket commentary and will definitely be missed on comms

 

[Trips]

We're going to manage to get ourselves bowled out for 200-250 aren't we

That many?

Boult is fantastic entertainment
