Cricket (None Leicestershire County Cricket Club)

[foxy boxing]

For fours sake, six fours 

[Manini]

Absolutely obscene. Rule book well and truly torn up (on what I imagine is an absolute road to be fair, but you’ve still got to score the runs)

[RowlattsFox]

Bit disappointing that no-one is going on to get big hundreds....

[RowlattsFox]

It couldn't be any more perfect for Livingstone to come in (hopefully tomorrow) and have some fun. Great opportunity for him on his debut.

The Sensodyne Sensitivity Moment in England would be blokes dressed as Smurfs holding a beer snake at Headingley.

[Super_horns]

All these runs and Root only got 23.

 

Must feel left out !

[Stinkenzo]

Must be heading towards the highest team total with nobody scoring more than 122, or for a more sensible figure, 150

[Voll Blau]

Most understated maiden Test ton celebration ever. 

[Izzy]

Can't remember ever seeing anything like that in all my time. Unbelievable day. 

[Stinkenzo]

Will be disappointed if I dont wake up to a 1000+ declared tomorrow

[leicsmac]

As an aside, 75 overs in a full day's play is really poor form in terms of over rate.

[Staff]

Unreal effort!

[StanSP]

When was the last time England had 4 centurions in an innings?

When was the last time all of them scored the ton at better than a run a ball?

Isn't that down to the light issue though, so maybe not a lot they could do? Fairly sure it gets dark at about 4pm there at this time of year.

Yeah, that's true enough. I just wonder why this hasn't seemingly been a problem before then in terms of getting close to 90 overs in the day, or perhaps it has.

It’s wintertime. Apparently gets dark at 5pm. They’re starting at 10am in attempt to make up for that, but 75-80 overs is probably as good as it could be. 
 

Edit. - Just seen this has already been answered above.

For the simple reason that it has literally never been done before. It was that sensational

There's a reason for that

It’s to do with the light . They should start earlier 

oops : already discussed

[Guest Chocolate Teapot]

I'm slightly annoyed they're making this look so easy. We used to not be able to score 600 runs in a series.

[StanSP]

Disappointed to wake up and not see a score at least about 700+...
