retired hurt = not out

Academic anyway since he's continuing!
No, I mean he might get a yorker next ball and not know where he is/what the bit of wood he's holding is
― sorry for british (country matters), Thursday, 7 May 2009 11:52 (seventeen years ago)
I knew he was continuing

Don't school me on the laws of cricket, bro
for anyone listening only, the back of Anderson's helmet has a whopping great chunk out of it, right at the back. If he hadn't been wearing it - boom boom out go the lights.

yeah it was horrible. Hope there aren't any delayed effects.West Indies didn't look interested today which was really bizarre.

A lot of that is down to Gayle and his savoir faire attitude

Swann is opening the bowling with Broad???? Is jimmy unable to bowl?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:00 (seventeen years ago)
Jimmy last seen talking to a bust of WG Grace in the long room and has been sent to sit with the duffers in MCC ties.
― Prince of Persia (Ed), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:02 (seventeen years ago)
it seems its a ploy to get Gayle swashbuckling early
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:02 (seventeen years ago)
i think he will only get a couple of overs at most before Jimmy comes in
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:03 (seventeen years ago)
Swash is being buckled.
― sorry for british (country matters), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:06 (seventeen years ago)
Strauss is getting lots of stick from the sky commentators. What do you think LJ?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:08 (seventeen years ago)
24-0 already
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:09 (seventeen years ago)
what happened? i am confused.
― sorry for british (country matters), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:11 (seventeen years ago)
also lol
what i think is get anderson on ffs you numpties
― sorry for british (country matters), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:12 (seventeen years ago)
i think i'm pretty much towing the party line on that one
England have wasted the new ball 32-0
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:13 (seventeen years ago)
it's only 5 overs old, chillax
― sorry for british (country matters), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:14 (seventeen years ago)
England have graciously allowed the West Indies their 12th batsman, Winston Extras, who scored a career best of 74 not out in Port of Spain last winter.
― Prince of Persia (Ed), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:17 (seventeen years ago)
Nah, he got more in a Pakistan - India game once IIRC
― sorry for british (country matters), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:18 (seventeen years ago)
but it was a courageous knock for sure
They have Prior experience of inept wicketkeeping adding to the opposition's score
― Sacco, Vanzetti, Passantino... (Tom D.), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:19 (seventeen years ago)
I think that was Mustaq Ali Extras, easy mistake to make.
― Prince of Persia (Ed), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:19 (seventeen years ago)
i cant say Flowers coaching has impressed me so far this year
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:20 (seventeen years ago)
Gayle plays on!
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:32 (seventeen years ago)
only thing is now Sarwan is on. Wonder if we can get him out this series?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:33 (seventeen years ago)
we did!
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:51 (seventeen years ago)
He was looking really good too so that is a bonus
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:52 (seventeen years ago)
love that dude
― sorry for british (country matters), Thursday, 7 May 2009 14:24 (seventeen years ago)
Swann gets Smith with his 1st ball of his 2nd spell.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 14:24 (seventeen years ago)
It didnt turn or anything, Smith just seems to struggle against spin and picked the wrong line. Obviously why they wanted him to open the bowling earlier.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 14:25 (seventeen years ago)
Broad is now our best strike bowler, weird.
― Jarlrmai, Thursday, 7 May 2009 14:26 (seventeen years ago)
you know who is at the crease now. Can we get him out this series?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 14:26 (seventeen years ago)
OH MY FIRST BALL
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 14:27 (seventeen years ago)
They know alot of the windies are suspect to spin
― Jarlrmai, Thursday, 7 May 2009 14:27 (seventeen years ago)
Swanny is on a hat-trick
Anderson's still the best imo
oh lol
― sorry for british (country matters), Thursday, 7 May 2009 14:27 (seventeen years ago)
That's like the one in the final test that didn't quite carry
― sorry for british (country matters), Thursday, 7 May 2009 14:28 (seventeen years ago)
That was a good ball
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 14:28 (seventeen years ago)
Nash is the guy you would want on to save a hattrick
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 14:29 (seventeen years ago)
and he plays it well
WI going off for bad light
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 14:31 (seventeen years ago)
Early Tea, so hopefully nothing will be lost. Botham & co say the light is perfectly acceptable and no worse than yesterday when England weren't offered it.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 14:34 (seventeen years ago)
Drogba says it's a fucking disgrace.
Were we bowling 2 spinners when they were offered the light?
― Jarlrmai, Thursday, 7 May 2009 14:50 (seventeen years ago)
Swann had just finished his over.
