The Cricket Thread

[Johnny75]

This is some woeful batting.

The ball isn't moving that much, a little bit not much.

 

[BillyDee]

Innings victory on the cards?!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

100% unless they really sort themselves out and bat a day with the lower order.

And as I type Shakeel is out and they are 82/6.

More fucked than a seventies porn star

 

[AndyWolves]

It's really surprising to see a team put 556 on the board and still lose

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

To score 556 first up and potentially lose by an innings and 150 is some effort.

Pakistan do calamity like no team in cricket.

It is, but Pakistan put on even more in the first Test against us 2 years ago and lost that too, although on that occasion they batted second

I remember talking to you ahead of day five's play, we concurred that only England could win but it would most likely be a draw.

Watched the whole thing and went to work on one hour's sleep. I was not in a good mood.

Who did Giles drop on the boundary and how many runs and the result did it cost us....?

Ponting on 35 and he went on to make 142

 

[Trips]

What a win that is!

 

[BillyDee]

Noice.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Yesterday took the dog out knowing I wouldn't miss a wicket. Today took her out and missed all of them!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Wow. Just wow.

Since McCullum took over, every time England have conceded 500 in the first innings, the test has been won. By England.

That is extraordinary.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

So, opposition, I would suggest either win the toss and bowl or win the toss and score about 490

 

[Squeak]

What a Test match. Phenomenal.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Spectacular on that pitch. Same sort of thing again starting Tuesday as I cannot imagine pitch two will be a raging bunsen and it hardly ever rains in Multan.

Hopefully win the toss, bat, and stick up 1,000.
