I would settle for the tension of MacDonnell's cricket match in England, Their England.

Forget Percy, I'd settle for a Root ton right now!

Woakes will have to bowl like his average at lords stokes will be stokes the rest just don’t get smashed around and pick up the odd wicket

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

New balls please!

 

[johnny crossan]

spin to Stokes could be terminal

 

[AliBobbyJ]

Vitai Lampada pales beside

Let's hope one day some still-young City bard looks back and writes "O my Silva and Aguero long ago."

Surprised spinner didn’t come in straight away to stokes because he will go for it

So England lose

Not necessarily. If they get to 250 as a team there’s a chance

she'll need a big rubber - things are warming up out there

So if Crawley is dropped and in his first county championship game he scores a ton in each innings, he should be up for consideration again?

I never said that. Someone commented about how shit Yorkshires batsmen were, I just commented that Bairstow didn’t too badly against us in Friday. When the fuck did I say he should be playing for England, or Crawley for that matter. Don’t be a dick dickie

PS I would play Bairstow in our ODI and t20 teams though

You hope England can get 250 and then bowl at India, but with a full day's cricket India would bite your hand off right now

These two are very lucky to still be there - lady luck shining on the English.

Tv India currently justifying India’s appalling behaviour. I’d like to think an England player would offer Siraj outside for a one to one chat later, he’d fucking shit it

Personally I think we are still well in this match. Don’t forget that if the 4 wickets that have fallen 3 of them are shit

Good leave Joe

I am sick to death of Sly and their OTT favourable production and commentary in favour of India. Makes their coverage of the rags and dippers feel fair

The coverage is a shadow of what it used to be on Sky.
TMS is far better.
The Australian lady on Sky is absolutely abysmal. TMS has Isa Guha, Ebony Rainford-Brent and Alison Mitchel. All 3 of them are fantastic female commentators and summerisers.
I suppose we should be grateful that Shy have not wheeled out Eoin Morgan. He is utterly atrocious.

Don't give it out if you can't take it back

I love a good old handbags in cricket ? you need it something because it's a sport after all

 

[johnny crossan]

Stick it up your Bumrah!!!

 

[EastMidlandsBlue]

Pointless moaning thats what they want aggresive cricket.They wont change till the Aussies win 4 or 5 nil.We are always going to be for 3 for not many as Crawley,Pope Duckett are not good enough.

Crawley and Pope yes. But Duckett?!?!

He's arguably been our most consistent batter over the last couple of years, and was literally the man of the match in the first test!

Okay he's had a bad game here, but to say he should be dropped is beyond ridiculous

Good thing about being a batsman is if you murder the fast bowler by launching a well timed straight drive at his skull there ain't a court in the world that can convict you.
