Only way to stop him, break some bones.

Almost killed, comes back, hits a couple of fours.

Finally got him.

It's a tight old game this. So far.

What happens if the concussion replacement has concussion?

thankfully he looks ok. Helmet did the job
cant believe batsmen used to face west indies legendary quicks without helmets

or lillee and thommo
thankfully he's ok
whoa what a catch!
― Thus Spoke Darraghustra (Oor Neechy), Sunday, 18 August 2019 18:01 (five years ago) link
What a weird way to get out. Missing a full toss and LBW. I cant think of that happening in a test match before. It actually floored him.
― Thus Spoke Darraghustra (Oor Neechy), Thursday, 22 August 2019 18:26 (five years ago) link
he batted well mind
archer is a monster
― imago, Thursday, 22 August 2019 18:40 (five years ago) link
Amazing how lost Roy seems to be at test level when he has been so good in ODIs.
― ShariVari, Friday, 23 August 2019 10:20 (five years ago) link
he is not an opening batsman in first-class cricket, is the thing
― imago, Friday, 23 August 2019 10:20 (five years ago) link
I think it's also possible he's going through a bad run post-World Cup

Confused by a game that isn't all about slogging

much like Joe Root

Knew this would happen, Jofra and Broad were absolutely excellent yesterday and anything short of 400 for England will be a betrayal OK I'm a bit hungover and melodramatic and sad

Hell of a thing to swing and miss at when you're 20-2.
― ShariVari, Friday, 23 August 2019 10:58 (five years ago) link
I was explaining to someone at work only yesterday morning - before Archer took 6 wickets - that the entertaining thing about the England cricket team, any England cricket team, is that just when you think they're getting good they fall flat on their arses.

same. ffs.

It's all about how difficult it is to even try to get to it.

Wow. Nearly a very lucky escape.
― ShariVari, Friday, 23 August 2019 12:46 (five years ago) link
Archer has more sense than Woakes. Just duck rather than waving aimlessly.
― ShariVari, Friday, 23 August 2019 12:50 (five years ago) link
Pa-thetic.

well at least England have passed Australia at Trent Bridge 2015 now

that was my worry

well, not by too much

Lolz. When I think of this series I keep thinking of Robespierre's "Louis* must die so France may live", with Brexit happening and Boris Johnson as PM, England must lose so life is at least somewhat bearable.

its exactly what we knew would happen. its been happening for years.
I hope the new coach sacks Root and appoints a new captain so Root can find his form. He's a terrible captain.
― Thus Spoke Darraghustra (Oor Neechy), Friday, 23 August 2019 14:18 (five years ago) link
he's not terrible, but his record v AUS is certainly not looking too clever
― Captain ACAB (Neil S), Friday, 23 August 2019 14:22 (five years ago) link
He's not a good captain, his form and test average have dropped since becoming captain, his teams collapse too often. The new coach has to make the decision and give the captaincy to somebody else.
― Thus Spoke Darraghustra (Oor Neechy), Friday, 23 August 2019 14:28 (five years ago) link
batting collapses aren't the fault of the captain
― Captain ACAB (Neil S), Friday, 23 August 2019 14:31 (five years ago) link
what you say about him getting sacked might still happen, or Root himself might decide he's had enough, but I just don't think it's true he's a bad captain. He's not Vaughan but then very few have been.
― Captain ACAB (Neil S), Friday, 23 August 2019 14:34 (five years ago) link
anyone think England can see the day out?
― Thus Spoke Darraghustra (Oor Neechy), Saturday, 24 August 2019 12:54 (five years ago) link
Nope, been drunken calling it all day, they won't make 200
