Cricket

This is fucking mental.

Let's see those Australia faces.

Everything's coming up England!

LOL England.

maybe get somebody involved who gives a shit about Test cricket idk

India just have better players?

not mutually exclusive to my point

true

Ooh, getting pretty tense now.

England do have good bowlers at least

Indeed. At work today, missing this. Bah!

i've had "never in doubt" cued up for the last 10 minutes

never in doubt

Stokes for the madness.

Alastair Cook!!!

ah rats cocks

BEN FUCKING COX

UP YOURS WARWICKSHIRE WHEREVER YOU ARE

speaking as a (largely nominal) Bears fan i just wanted anybody but Sussex :D

haha that's cool then

my dad, good Droitwich lad, enjoyed this too

Prithvi has landed

...awkwardly, and is out of the first Test. How disappointing!

Yasir Shah is Warne without the sleaze

yeah that's a shame. Still think it should be a good series.

Yes.

We'd also talk about the Windies but SV might not be able to take it so

this is absolute trash from india. morons

Pujara is v good but it would seem that India are 100 or so runs shy.

Meanwhile Williamson looks like he might be doing a Kohli on Pakistan...

I suppose SV will have to start posting to this thread again

We will still contrive to lose but I am enjoying it while I can.

so predictable

Classic.

yet the touring sides still wont have 2 4-day warm up matches.

England thought, when playing WI, all they needed to do was turn up tbh.

they thought that the last few times and didnt win a series. also remember a few bowled out for under a 100 (under 50 once iirc)

Hell mend them then!

Geoffrey Boycott

"I wasn't so thrilled with the batting, especially after the way Jimmy Anderson had bowled. I thought 300 was OK, nothing special.

I thought we'd make 400 and get a decent lead. It wasn't only disappointing, it was embarrassing."

The best laid plans of mice and men...

why do they have a pitch that was only fit to last a 20/20 game?

makes a farce of test cricket

the good news is at least England have gained access to the secret board

:)

just wait until they have to face JHYE

JHYE
JHYE
JHYE

The LOLz continue...

This is brutal. I imagine this is the end of Rashid for a while.

Leach should obviously have played tbh

did SV mean they'll find a way to lose the series? even that has to be in doubt at this point, although they will have an extremely angry stuart broad to contend with

this is kind of glorious murder meanwhile

England win this series 2-1. My brother pointed out this morning that the lack of regard these cunts pay to the first test in every series is immoral

why do they have a pitch that was only fit to last a 20/20 game?

Some 20/20 game this is from WI.

229 and counting for the 7th wicket, no. 7 batsman on the verge of a century, 150 already up for the no. 8 bat. The pitch is a ruddy disgrace.

WI contrive to lose...the fifth day

Another comedy collapse. 8 for 60 for Roston Chase, who didn't even get a bowl in the 1st innnings!
