The summer of Test cricket thread

There's something about watching cricket in England at this time of the year, basically winter
Boiling up to be a great finish...

Something about watching cricket in England at this time of year… it’s called being lucky

Yep, that was the game over moment.

Yep, that was the game over moment.

England's bowling has been bang on the money in fairness.

Not just the wickets themselves, examples like Archer roughing Labu up have set it up nicely.

Absolutely no part of Abbott's foot was behind the line there, terrible decision from the 3rd umpire

Everyone except the 3rd umpire knew it, including the on field umpires.

On that note I’m off out.

Series decider in Bristol today. It’s gonna piss down later but they may get a game in. I’ve been to Bristol a few times for cricket. Terrible ground back in the day. During an ODI against NZ years ago I went for a pint while Flintoff was on about 60, by the time I got served he’d made his century. And we were so pissed me and the wife had a massive row in the hotel after the game and she left me. Only for about half an hour mind, she went for a drink in the bar and then came back cos he was tired. Memories.

Sounds right. I’m pretty sure it was the same day as the final of Euro 2004

 

[exiledclaseboy]

England going at eight an over more or less. Could get 400 here.
