Cricket

Great to see a lol england collapse take place in the Apple Isle at last!

lol at Holder not realising he’d taken four wickets in four balls for about thirty seconds.

Cricket lovely cricket
In Barbados Jason Holder in four balls did take four wickets
<parp parp pa-pa-pa parp parp>

Feeling better now SV?

NZ 45 for 7

... and yet, LOL England.

I love the 3 day game, real cricket

battle of the most lol nations in test cricket right now (England is eternal lol of course)

something to this new era eh

When Root went cheaply it looked like old England were back but Bairstow absolutely brutal at the crease.

Lolz

Lol, tremendous 1990s England batsman getting out against Australia after a brave defensive innings which raised hopes of avoiding defeat energy to that one

that is no longer England's energy

Great to see.

Ridiculous stuff.

Yeah that was incredible

Amazing transformation in this team

This last month has been extraordinary. Four run chases over 270, all completed with total abandon and hours to spare.

So easy to get carried away on Twitter, but this is literally rewriting the way this sport is played as we watch.

So great to get one over Kohli after his antics too. Just a perfect test match really.

as an ex-cricket follower I'm curious, what makes this a literal game changing occurrence and not just a very good performance by two players?

The run rates.

Lol

Police have shut down a fake Indian Premier League built to fool Russian gamblers. Labourers paid to pretend to be pro cricketers, games streamed online, crowd noises downloaded and played over the top. Got to the quarter finals before they were caught.https://t.co/2KPkhrap1q

That's so awesome.

LOL. So much for bazzball.

this has really boiled the piss of Yorkshire CCC fans, so obv it was good not bad to some extent

i wonder if the words 'you don't even LIKE cricket' were uttered in the SV/gyac household this morning

Simmons surely toast, but this isn't on him. what a bunch of self-interested wasters. they'll go back to their T20 domestic carousel and play like gods

this is going to be such a lol tournament, I can feel it

looking forward to attending a rained out Aus vs NZ match tomorrow

I can confirm that herself was very sympathetic at this difficult time.

He was very sad, I was still half asleep, but I was sympathetic because I don’t even care. The only time I care about cricket is when the Irish team beats England.

Australia certainly bringing the lols! I made sure to post this after Afghanistan folded for nothing though haha

(England all out 90 guaranteed now)

for bizarre reasons, I attended this game in the hospitality box which had a cocktail bar

suffice to say, I enjoyed a wide variety of cocktails with dull Cricket-related names ('yeh mate give me one of those Howzats')

real highlight of the game for me was the reminder on the big screen to deposit your plastic bottles at the Official Aramco Recycling Bins

Well now

(shame tbh, was rooting for Pakistan but that was a choke if ever I've seen it)

Same here, but what a match.

your lads have a sniff

Ireland calls on its reliable 12th man: rain

oops.

Sitting on this Eurostar glad I'm getting out of this awful cursed place for a couple of days. Sadly sitting next to someone who doesn't even LIKE cricket

drop Stokes IMO

Iceland stop kvetching challenge

sad to see a developing nation lose like that, it means a lot to them

We won’t be partying on the street tonight.

Can’t afford it.

I remember when the ignominy of a top cricket nation getting beaten by Ireland was enough to get the coach murdered. Sorry, perhaps too soon.
