Holy shit 158 off 73 balls from McCullum!
― Neil S, Friday, 18 April 2008 18:35 (sixteen years ago) link
The first day of the first test and summer is....... where?
Any chance of this lasting til Monday does we reckon? The weather offers one hope that it might but by all accounts aren't England expected to give NZ a pasting?
― Upt0eleven, Thursday, 15 May 2008 09:09 (sixteen years ago) link
They'll be extending each day's play should today be a wash-out. But yeah, a fairly good chance of play on Monday I reckon.
― Neil S, Thursday, 15 May 2008 09:14 (sixteen years ago) link
Then there's a fairly good chance I will be not at work on Monday I reckon. Still do cheapio final day tickets at Lord's right?
― Upt0eleven, Thursday, 15 May 2008 09:45 (sixteen years ago) link
NZ 2/1
This ain't goonna last til monday.
― Upt0eleven, Thursday, 15 May 2008 12:29 (sixteen years ago) link
Anderson will be swinging it about like no one's business.
― Neil S, Thursday, 15 May 2008 12:38 (sixteen years ago) link
NZ 104-5
pwn
― Upt0eleven, Thursday, 15 May 2008 14:53 (sixteen years ago) link
Anderson will be shit for the next 2 matches then. The boys got talent if only he had consistency.
― Herman G. Neuname, Thursday, 15 May 2008 18:24 (sixteen years ago) link
Captains innings from Vaughan, a century. England 317-8. montys in to parter the skipper.
― Herman G. Neuname, Sunday, 18 May 2008 16:38 (sixteen years ago) link
montys out 2nd ball
― Herman G. Neuname, Sunday, 18 May 2008 16:41 (sixteen years ago) link
England 235-3 Strauss out for 106. 59 needed to win. Will England collapse?
― Herman G. Neuname, Monday, 26 May 2008 13:35 (sixteen years ago) link
KP run out
― Herman G. Neuname, Monday, 26 May 2008 13:47 (sixteen years ago) link
Pietersen gone
― Jarlrmai, Monday, 26 May 2008 13:50 (sixteen years ago) link
Go the Bluck Cups.
― King Boy Pato, Monday, 26 May 2008 14:22 (sixteen years ago) link
An incredible and unlikely win for England!
― Herman G. Neuname, Monday, 26 May 2008 14:45 (sixteen years ago) link
Finally a gutsy performance from England when the chips are down. Well done Monty and Strauss!

Aus avoiding an upset

Great work from Clark.
― SeekAltRoute, Monday, 26 May 2008 20:25 (sixteen years ago) link
bah bluddy Clark.
I know its only NZ but I enjoyed this.
Gotta feel if Collingwood and Pietersen find form, maybe dump Bell (bit of a Hick/Ramprakash type to me), MAYBE if Flintoff comes back batting well and firing in four over spells, THEN MAYBE, y'know...oh and I hear Simon Jones is recovering ok w/Worcestershire
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 26 May 2008 21:10 (sixteen years ago) link
Damn, i was hoping the Windies would win:\
― wilter, Monday, 26 May 2008 21:59 (sixteen years ago) link
Nah Bell aint going anywhere. Colly might get dumped if hes awful against SA. Flintoff bat well? That would be a first. I suppose there's more chance of that however than Anderson being consistent.
― Herman G. Neuname, Monday, 26 May 2008 22:30 (sixteen years ago) link
Jimmy's on fire. 2 wickets with the new ball. I just wish he could bowl like this all the time.
― Herman G. Neuname, Friday, 6 June 2008 13:43 (sixteen years ago) link
Good innings from Broad as well. Boycs reckons he'll get a century before his career is over.
― Neil S, Friday, 6 June 2008 13:46 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh I think he'll get more than 1. I think he will be a better allrounder than Freddie.
― Herman G. Neuname, Friday, 6 June 2008 14:11 (sixteen years ago) link
I would be more worried about his bowling than his batting
― Tom D., Friday, 6 June 2008 14:13 (sixteen years ago) link
He needs to develop a metronomic action a la McGrath. He has the height, but not the pace at the moment.
― Neil S, Friday, 6 June 2008 14:19 (sixteen years ago) link
Joel garner was in his late 20s before he got the pace. They're probably around the same size and Broad will get get stronger.
― Herman G. Neuname, Friday, 6 June 2008 14:20 (sixteen years ago) link
If England do go with a 4 man attack against Australia or South Africa we might have Freddie at 7 and Broad at 8.
― Herman G. Neuname, Friday, 6 June 2008 14:24 (sixteen years ago) link
Joel garner was in his late 20s before he got the pace
He was pretty good all along!
― Tom D., Friday, 6 June 2008 14:27 (sixteen years ago) link
The BBC text commentary guy has annoyingly taken to calling Broad Malfoy. The beeb should have stuck with the factual stuff and not tried to copy the Guardian IMO.
― Neil S, Friday, 6 June 2008 14:33 (sixteen years ago) link
Jimmy Jimmy 62-3
― Herman G. Neuname, Friday, 6 June 2008 15:14 (sixteen years ago) link
Good stuff.
― Jarlrmai, Friday, 6 June 2008 15:17 (sixteen years ago) link
4 down now. Jimmy nearly got Flynn LBW and he did next ball.
― Herman G. Neuname, Friday, 6 June 2008 15:17 (sixteen years ago) link
Jimmy is so frustrating because you know he can bowl like this, then he is awful for the next 3 tests. If he could bowl like this against SA/Aus then we might have a chance. But wouldn't be surprised if he was mince tomorrow nevermind the 2nd innings.
― Herman G. Neuname, Friday, 6 June 2008 15:19 (sixteen years ago) link
Going to the pub in a minute to watch this...
― Neil S, Friday, 6 June 2008 15:28 (sixteen years ago) link
And Jimmy has a five-for
― Herman G. Neuname, Friday, 6 June 2008 15:35 (sixteen years ago) link
might have missed it all by the time I leave!
― Neil S, Friday, 6 June 2008 15:38 (sixteen years ago) link
86 to avoid the follow on. but jacob oram could fairly easily knock through that in an hour on his own.
― Upt0eleven, Friday, 6 June 2008 15:51 (sixteen years ago) link
well, maybe two.
NZ inverted batting order.
― Jarlrmai, Friday, 6 June 2008 15:55 (sixteen years ago) link
Now here's something to play during the tea break:

93-6 (Oram was the wicket btw)

This BBC stream is miles behind.
― Jarlrmai, Friday, 6 June 2008 16:04 (sixteen years ago) link
Fuck sake, I'm missing this, stuck in work... not that I'm doing any work of course
― Tom D., Friday, 6 June 2008 16:06 (sixteen years ago) link
We need to take a backup of Anderson and restore it before every match.
― Jarlrmai, Friday, 6 June 2008 16:06 (sixteen years ago) link
4 to go for a laker
― Jarlrmai, Friday, 6 June 2008 16:07 (sixteen years ago) link
I think they will be going off for bad light soon
― Herman G. Neuname, Friday, 6 June 2008 16:08 (sixteen years ago) link
Can't see him taking 9 in the second innings however (xp)
