a good day for England. Root is just out of touch, I don't think it's the captaincy.

I switched the tv off when stokes was c&b as i was feeling a bit dizzy and just found out he got a reprieve!
Why don't umpires look and give no-balls like how they did for a hundred odd years?
― Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Saturday, 9 February 2019 22:23 (five years ago) link
it was a very close call, impossible for the on-field umpire to call I think. Stokes played really well today.

wrap mark wood up in cotton wool please. Dont overbowl him. 5 over spells.
― Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Sunday, 10 February 2019 18:45 (five years ago) link
There's nothing quite like a fast bowler bowling at 95MPH, eh?Neil S said it watching Mitchell Johnson in Sydney a few years ago in the Ashes.
I grew up in an era when the Windies had 4 of them and a conveyor belt behind them waiting.

Anyone remember Geoff Thomas? He was seriously fast for England.
― Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Sunday, 10 February 2019 19:05 (five years ago) link
he's just got another one! Amazing
― Neil S, Sunday, 10 February 2019 19:12 (five years ago) link
This is proper. WI can't handle it.

It does need to be said that Brathwaite started the collapse with maybe the worst shot a Test captain has ever played

WICKET!Broad follows that with a superb one-handed catch to dismiss Joseph and Windies are nine down:📺 Watch #WIvENG live: https://t.co/4QkdTP8h6H 📰 Live blog: https://t.co/bsJpoMqm0B pic.twitter.com/p9yXYSx4W7— Sky Sports Cricket (@SkyCricket) February 10, 2019

shannon gabriel must fancy his chances of ripping more than a few out tonight if he bowls like he did in the morning
There can't be a single England fan rooting for Jennings here? Would be such a fucking pisser if he played any sort of innings to keep his spot here
― imago, Sunday, 10 February 2019 21:00 (five years ago) link
I'm torn. I feel bad for the guy but he's plainly not up to it.
I think I'd pick Roy. And Hain has had a decentish tour with the Lions.
― Good cop, Babcock (Chinaski), Sunday, 10 February 2019 21:02 (five years ago) link
haha If he scored a ton he'd be playing against the Aussies who will destroy him (their bowling might well do that whoever we put up, but no point in making it easy for them)
― Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Sunday, 10 February 2019 21:03 (five years ago) link
Roy is a dasher but if he is scoring runs it wont be a problem. Nobody else we try has succeeded.
― Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Sunday, 10 February 2019 21:04 (five years ago) link
There really is noone else, is there?
Hildreth, I guess?
I wonder if we'll see Bell again too...
― Good cop, Babcock (Chinaski), Sunday, 10 February 2019 21:08 (five years ago) link
he would need to score a ton of runs in march/april. I dont see many batsmen doing well in those months, lol
― Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Sunday, 10 February 2019 21:15 (five years ago) link
Gubbins, perhaps, but you wouldn't want him debuting against Australia. Roy seems like as good a pick as anyone.
― Neil S, Sunday, 10 February 2019 22:11 (five years ago) link
tbh I just want someone called Gubbins to play for England, that and Stokes-Foakes-Woakes in the same team
― Neil S, Sunday, 10 February 2019 22:16 (five years ago) link
Moeen!!!! What a catch!! Wow!!!

Taking Stokes off at 48no feels wrong

This could be all over today
10-3
― groovypanda, Tuesday, 12 February 2019 15:10 (five years ago) link
I think that's probably innings of the century so far?

Perera? Extraordinary - against, Steyn, Rabada and Philander, too.
― Good cop, Babcock (Chinaski), Saturday, 16 February 2019 16:05 (five years ago) link
Well, not the injured Philander, but yes

Some incredible batting happening here. England going to get a gigantic total if these 2 can keep going.
Going to be fun watching Chris Gayle in reply for sure.

World Record for most sixes in an innings goes to England.
Buttler out for an amazing 150

Thought Gayle was trying to finish it inside 10 overs, i'm sure the sponsors will have a word

So glad they cut down the number of nations, the telly people just would not like all the one sided results.

Seems like teams are getting nosebleeds having to bat beyond 20 overs.

Bangladesh bucking the trend by building a useful total against SA.

Excellent from Bangladesh.

Pakistan at over 6 an over for first 12 against England.
Moeen's just got a wicket though.
