Cricket

Although I heard another rumour that the cuckolder is ALSO a recently-retired England cricketer, albeit one still involved with the set-up.

Harmison back for the Oval match, with Bell at 3.

Glad that KP has been made captain, English cricket needs a kick up the jacksey

He's already talking a good game, or mouthing off a great deal, depending on your viewpoint. I'm still wavering between the two.

Massive Twenty20 match for me tonight. Physics vs. Humanities. If we win we're into the end of season play-off, if we lose is the end of our season. I will doubtless be bowling my woeful medium pace and scoring 7 before holing out at long on.

I thought you bowled chinamen?

I've gotta miss Charlton's first game of the season thanks to a match. Not that I'm complaining. Last week I went to Greenwich Park and ended up playing for a team of strangers (on a proper pitch), taking two wickets and a catch as we won a 2020 game by about 30 runs. :D

Oh, and Harmison deserves his recall significantly less than Kabir Ali does, but what can you do when someone plays for a trendy county? :P

Well remembered! Changed to medium pace this year as they've laid an artificial pitch which doesn't take turn. Turns out I'm actually OK at medium. I even got some orthodox inswing a couple of weeks ago when it was really humid.

x-post Yes, Durham, that's a trendy county all right!

Has anyone told them up there yet?

Cool, daddy-o!

It does look nice doesn't it? Never been to Durham, want to go now!

It is nice

Who would've thought Harmison would trigger a collapse like that!

Not Louis, that's for sure

lol hi

maybe he has been bowling like this all season. let's see him keep it up. overseas.

He's bowling a helluva lot better than Broad anyway.

this is very true

Monty gets the cheat out!

What a day :)

Only problem is we can bat even worse

Century partnership coming up for Morkel and Harris?

"Panesar doesn't see it initially; sets off... eventually."

Love 'im.

KP's all-new inclusive policy of giving the kid a bowl pays off handesomely.

Broad gets a wicket!

haha morkel went off the wrong way straight to the groundsmans shed instead of the pavillion

That all-night bender is really catching up with the Safricans.

"handesomely" wtf

194 all out

Good times.

[Won last night so we're through to the semi-finals of the play-offs. Two juicy cover drives for four resulted in my top score for the season of 8. Out bowled having completely lost track of where the ball was. Bowled one and dropped a catch off my own bowling. Conceded rather a lot of extras. Good times.]

LOL

Haha, Channel 5 had the gall to reunite Harmison and Boycott, once so animated in another's offence! The kiss and make up ceremony as conducted by Sparky Nicholas. Dear me!

kp dropped twice.

Century for KP

KP out

Typical. He is incapable of doing anything without drama!

HOW DARE HE SACK HIM

Seriously I can't get angry at a man who's just made a hundred but come on Kev, make some double tons.

I'm not saying that's a bad thing! Flintoff is looking in the mood...

huge 6!

flintoff out

gah

Time for Broadys 1st century

I'll venture to say we'll have a new keeper for the winter tour.

Not gonna be much of a lead. Shocking stuff since KP got out

Is Anderson finally going to get his first duck?

useless cunts

you can bet the sa opening partnership will soon rattle off the lead.

Can we have a teeny bit of positivity? Batting isn't that easy out there, and yr talking like a tabloid headline. Plus, Anderson's avoided the duck again!
