The Cricket Thread

Bazball has pretty much consigned the non-rain-affected draw to the history books unless it is an absolute fucking road.

Good. Call me a bit bonkers, but a style of cricket that strives for a positive result is a good thing, even if sometimes you are on the arse end of the result.

I would back England to beat every other side bar India in India. I think there is a good possibility for England to come over here and beat Convict CC. I'm really looking forward to seeing Bazball in the flesh as I shall be attending every day at the Gabba.

W.Indies openers doing a very good job so far

They were...and then a ludicrous shot off Bashir

Needed that

Psychological relief to get away from Wood combined with the drinks break you'd think..

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Should be two down, didn't review an lbw off Bashir, it was out

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Oh dear McKenzie. What a shot to play right before lunch.

Kind of pitch perfect where you only really get yourself out. Test of concentration and patience on both sides

Good response from WIndies to losing those three wickets. They have some fight in them as they showed v the Aussies.

Good for my chances of seeing a full day tomorrow

and maybe some day 4 cricket for @Trips

 

[Squeak]

Well done WIndies... excellent performance ...overall a day England needed to keep them honest. We left runs on the board and now the Windies are making a game out of it. Good stuff and what Test cricket is all about.

Yep, put off booking my parking until I was sure I'd see some cricket. Booked it today

Yeah - bring back Boycott

 

[Carrotdude]

I for one would have much rather watched us get 600 over 3 days tbh

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

And definitely draw the game. Ace
