Some first day at Newlands, 18 wickets fallen and we're nowhere near the end of Day One yet.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Make that 19

SA 55ao

India have gone 153/4 -> 153/9

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Moving too fast for me!

153 all out.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

India having Bumrah at 8 has echoes of our legendary 1999 Caddick-Mullally-Tufnell-Giddins effort.

Watched two big bash matches tonight after day one of the Sydney test finished.

Crawley Vince Overton J and TCurran were all pretty awful. Billings a bit better at fairly shit

153 all out.

Is that some sort of record? 6 wickets falling without a run being scored.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I believe it is a Test first

Up to 22 wickets for the day now and still about an hour left

Unusual commentary

Ex Bear Laurie Evans did a bit better than OK scoring at a rate of over 3 per ball?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That was a brilliant innings. Smashed it all over Optus which is no small ground

The full board is united and committed to doing the deal, which includes the two member representatives - Harry Chathli

YORKSHIRE say they are fully committed to getting Colin Graves’s takeover deal over the line as they rubbished a national newspaper report which claimed that two board members are blocking the move.

Hmmm....

Yorkshire: Azeem Rafiq says Colin Graves' expected return has led to racist abuse - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/67947223

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

the current CEO says the Graves bid was the only one that would keep Yorkshire a members club as IPL franchise owners wanted outright owensrship.

When it is pointed out that Graves wants to make it a private company which is a demutualisation the current CEO says who knows what will happen I. The future

Something a bit fishy there

Warner is a twat, but gets a pass when it's Smith he's chirping out

The India tour is on TNT which is shit news

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Meh, Sky hardly cover any away tours these days anyway. All of West Indies, New Zealand and Australia's home games are all already on TNT and have been for years.

Old fashioned way of following cricket for me ie radio commentary.
