Not in the eyes of many. In a similar way to Florence Griffith Joyner officially still having the 100m women's world record. I mean it's in the books, but was achieved by cheating

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I disagree but I’m not arguing with you.

Expecting a knock on your door from the OB @Trips ?

@Paddingtonwolf furiously searching the Aussie TV listings to find the channel showing this so he can defiantly turn on and be even angrier about it

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Wood in for Jimmy, which makes you wonder what the point of calling Pennington up was.

It wasn't mistaken identity

Incidentally this is the first home Test XI without at least one of Anderson or Broad since 2012:

And the previous one before that was in 2007:

(Both against West Indies oddly. For a different opponent it's Pakistan in 2006)

The Blast finishes on Friday, Warwickshire have already qualified for a home quarter final so I thought I'd look when they are and if it fits into my work schedule. Normally they are a week or so later. This year 6 weeks and in September, because of you know what. Just fuck off

Looking forward to TMS tomorrow and fully immersing myself back into red ball cricket, kind of passed me by last week due to other sporting events.

Absolute arsehat of a schedule from those who seem intent on ruining the game. Any form or momentum can be thrown out of the window plus I’d imagine that several overseas players will be elsewhere.

 

[Sniffer]

They've put us in.

 

[Squeak]

Another example of Crawley not being an opener.

 

[Carrotdude]

He’s been one of our most consistent players for a decent length of time now but yeah sure.

 

[Doctor Doog]

Looks like The Hundred has started early

 

[Sniffer]

44 for 1 after 4.

Highest ever score for a first innings of a test after 4 overs!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

50 up after 4.2 overs!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I think they may be regretting putting us in

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I think they may be regretting putting us in

Bit of a chicken out of a decision, just because you got rolled at Lord's doesn't mean you should default to sticking us in

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I barely recognise the team that gave Convict CC such a tough series in the summer down here
