Cricket (None Leicestershire County Cricket Club)

[Super_horns]

Seems this ground has a history of high scores.

Look at this from 2009.

Yeah, great documentary!

 

Down The Gap then?

I am. In a nice hotel, good area. Flagging a bit now ! Up at 6.30 most mornings, breakfast then get picked up for the cricket. 

Leave on Thursday so will chill out a bit, then take a look further up the west coast.

Brilliant from Brathwaite to dig in here. Batted for ridiculous amount of time. 

 

5 wickets needed for England in 6 overs...

Standard Brathwaite, imagine if he was about when England were struggling against Chanderpaul 😂

What has Mr Roy been up to?

Australia have set this final test up nicely for a result

[CosbehFox]

Same old but given this Indies bowling pair their due; proper line and length 

[RowlattsFox]

We get out in some shit ways don't we. 

[shilton_fox]

Back to being shit with the bat then 

[RowlattsFox]

Soon as the pitch isn't flat we see the same problems occur. Our best hope is the pitch stays the same and we can get them out cheaply too. 

 

 

[Osavo]

Roach bowled some cracking areas tbf. That ball to get Lees out was a beauty.

 

Crawley and Stokes however, very poor dismissals. Why is Crawley driving on the first morning when they've put a man specifically at short cover. 

 

As I type another falls .

[RowlattsFox]

Why is noone capable of leaving the ball  must be harder than I think it is..

Have you seen our bowling options ?

It's not the dreaded Calypso Collapso is it?

Root apart I’m not sure we ever stopped being shit with the bat 

[Super_horns]

This might be a clue as to why Bairstow failed.

 

From BBC:

 

“I saw Jonny Bairstow at breakfast this morning in our hotel. He told me he slept dreadfully”

[Tommy Fresh]

This is a right laugh isn't it? Don't worry though Crawley has had his one good innings so he'll be selected for the next 5 years.

True. Thought Lawrence had a good test last one out 

[Corky]

Our limited bowling attack needs to drag this shit around.

 

Can't see it.

[Super_horns]

Tail wagging a bit at least !

Such ridiculous pressure to put on an unproven line-up who are now going to have no choice but to bowl for wickets.

 

Anderson must be pissing himself sat watching all this in Burnley Spoons.

[CosbehFox]

Jack Leach top scorer, incredible

What's really great is having your bowlers having to put a shift in with the bat and then expecting to them to come back out and do the same with the ball.

Ahh, gotta feel for Mahmood there! Batters owe him and Leach a rum or two tonight!

[DoveValleyFox]

That was so spectacular............ly embarrassing.

 

Commendable batting but It never bodes well when tail enders score well after an early collapse.
