this WI T20 team feels like the culmination of Caribbean cricket over the last 20 years and legitimately one of the most fearsome limited-overs teams ever to have been

Following this on my phone. Wonderful win and should be a great final.

Doing this without Pollard or Narine is remarkable.

WI women do it! Had been getting dull watching Australia win every tournament due to the other teams choking. No longer, thank god

I was watching both in a Greenwich sports bar, just the cricket now tho. Wish I wasn't mind

Unless...unless...

Saw the last few overs in the Enterprise in Chalk Farm, but now they've put on the absolutely vital middle of the table clash between Man Utd and Everton, to placate the legion of gormless twats traipsing in staring uncomprehendingly at a TV screen not showing Premier League football. Heading off in the direction of Primrose Hill to find a better class of boozer.

Terry Micawber (Tom D.), Sunday, 3 April 2016 15:15 (eight years ago) link

...unless...

Given up. Fuck London, fuck Sky but, most of all, fuck the Premier League.

Christ

So glad I schlepped all over London only to end up following the match via text reports on the BBC website, thank you, God.

Terry Micawber (Tom D.), Sunday, 3 April 2016 17:12 (eight years ago) link

sorry Tom, can't believe that up here in the outer darkness we've got pubs that can manage to broadcast more than one sporting event at the same time but Londoners can't countenance it

154 consecutive deliveries without a run ... and they still lost.

Kraigg Brathwaite becoming the first opening test batsman to not lose his wicket in either innings is an extraordinary statistic.

Was reflecting on how it's sad Tony Cozier didn't live to witness this, might have restored his faith a bit

imago, Thursday, 3 November 2016 13:59 (seven years ago) link

Current state of the board of governors won't though

Anyway, Hameed! Looking absolutely the part. His career path unfolds like a far more elegant Cook now

imago, Saturday, 12 November 2016 11:14 (seven years ago) link

Oh, SV, you're about - what do you do with a problem like Dave Cameron?

imago, Saturday, 12 November 2016 11:16 (seven years ago) link

a tenner on Hameed getting 10k runs for England in Tests seems a reasonable punt

not great, but also hard to begrudge Younis and Misbah a win in their final test & series #ServantsOfTheGame etc.

Hat trick for Moeen Ali! First England spinner to take a hat-trick since 1938-39, first ever Test hat-trick at the Oval.

love Moeen, makes up for Stokes missing the century/hat trick double yesterday

Nice day to be at the Oval today - wasn't sure it would be worth it, definitely was in the end.

Good day for statisticians.

Match ending Test hat-tricks:

I was pleased they were making a game of it for a while there

really hard to think of many close Tests England have been involved in recently

imago, Monday, 7 August 2017 16:44 (six years ago) link

basically because nobody can play test cricket any more.

I hate 20-20

three weeks pass...

Thoroughly enjoyed the West Indies victory earlier this week.

Also enjoyed Gareth Batty's response to the crossbow bolt being fired into the Oval on Thursday:

"Someone saw it in flight, there was a noise when it landed but it happened so quick. It is a deadly weapon for sure, if it had hit someone it would have caused some serious damage. It just shows the world we live in."

feel crossbow bolts being fired into county cricket grounds don't really represent 'the world we live in'? actually a bit more representative of the medieval period than 21stC Vauxhall?

Everyone banging on about it being a really serious incident amused me somewhat

imago, Saturday, 2 September 2017 11:51 (six years ago) link

i know. pictures of umpire looking seriously at an arrow. i mean it probably could have seriously injured someone, but response was v 'terrorist incident' and they seem to have boarded up the box windows in the OCS stand when i cycled past yesterday - those dangerous corporate hospitality insurrection bloc.
