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 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
it seems its a ploy to get Gayle swashbuckling early
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:02 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
Swash is being buckled.
― sorry for british (country matters), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:06 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
24-0 already
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:09 (fourteen years ago) link
what happened? i am confused.
― sorry for british (country matters), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:11 (fourteen years ago) link
also lol
what i think is get anderson on ffs you numpties
― sorry for british (country matters), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:12 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
it's only 5 overs old, chillax
― sorry for british (country matters), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:14 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
Nah, he got more in a Pakistan - India game once IIRC
― sorry for british (country matters), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:18 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
I think that was Mustaq Ali Extras, easy mistake to make.
― Prince of Persia (Ed), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:19 (fourteen years ago) link
i cant say Flowers coaching has impressed me so far this year
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:20 (fourteen years ago) link
Gayle plays on!
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:32 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
we did!
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:51 (fourteen years ago) link
He was looking really good too so that is a bonus
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:52 (fourteen years ago) link
love that dude
― sorry for british (country matters), Thursday, 7 May 2009 14:24 (fourteen years ago) link
Swann gets Smith with his 1st ball of his 2nd spell.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 14:24 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
Broad is now our best strike bowler, weird.
― Jarlrmai, Thursday, 7 May 2009 14:26 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
OH MY FIRST BALL
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 14:27 (fourteen years ago) link
They know alot of the windies are suspect to spin
― Jarlrmai, Thursday, 7 May 2009 14:27 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
That was a good ball
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 14:28 (fourteen years ago) link
Nash is the guy you would want on to save a hattrick
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 14:29 (fourteen years ago) link
and he plays it well
WI going off for bad light
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 14:31 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
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 (fourteen years ago) link
Swann had just finished his over.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 14:57 (fourteen years ago) link
love this dude
