Fessing up here... I really enjoy the "catastrophic gene" in-built in nearly all English representative sport. It's the comforting certainty that (Eoin Morgan's crew apart) disaster always lurks around the corner. But. I have really enjoyed this latest model test match mayhem ala Stokes 2022 version of Test match cricket. I almost hope they win again, as long as it's another pulling victory from the jaws of defeat. Extraordinary what a new voice in the dressing room can do. Southgate take note.
I think it was the first time they were bowled for it?
Crosby Nick never fails.
What's happened, I go out to clean my pond filter and three wickets fall!
british summertime has struck again.
It seems to me that falling leaves are clogging up your pond filter again. It must be that time of year (summer). I reckon it needs another clean out.
Safe hands Ben Foakes has caught...Covid.He’s replaced by Billings for the rest of the game. Obviously in the rules now that you can make a Covid sub? Twice this series England have had to make a replacement, not sure it had ever happened before?
these 2 are starting to get a bit irritating.
Mad how the greatest batsman that ever lived is a prematurely balding Kiwi called Darryll who looks a bit like Jack Leach.
Best catch ever that
Talking of catching, is Joe Root England’s best bet as lone slipper?
10 wicket game for leach. Decent number.
Equivalent of a double hundred for a batsman. Personally, I'd rate a 10WM higher than a 200.BTW, how many entries on the board does this mean for Leach? One for the 10WM, or one each for each 5WI and one for the 10WM?
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.
Fucking idiocy getting run out this early in an innings
That should be him done.
We got another in this series?
