He had the highest test score for over 35 years, and only 5 innings (including the SA one this month) have surpassed it in over 65.

Narrower bats, no helmets. Don't forget that, too.

What’s up with Hussein? Making a huge deal about Archer and Stokes, yet when the Indians behave like absolute cunts it’s good emotion. I have really changed my view of Hussein (for the worse) this series

What took you so long?

If we have to bowl first Thursday archer and Carse cannot play need two new fresh bowlers!

 

[bluemoon32]

Both sets of bowlers have been bloody poor on the whole, shame.

Probably the better watch now. The T20 Finals Day (women's edition)

Didnt realise Wong was this good with the bat. Got a 50 and 4 wickets in their semi.

Root is still our best spinner.

Should just entertain the crowd now. Get Crawley and Duckett bowling.

Crawley as WK, Archer and Woakes as opening batsmen, Pope to be open the bowling?

Wonk!

Crawley as WK would cripple his back. He’s a big lad.

Wonder who is the tallest keeper ever.

Jamie Smith is pretty tall. 6ft 2.

Why do you think I nominated him?



JOKING!!!!

JOKING!!!!

Because he can read Pope’s chinamen?

If that term is acceptable anymore…

Just the 2nd draw of the 'Bazball' era .....both at OT. When only 2 wickets fall on a 5th day and there is the bare minimum of jeopardy for the batting side maybe the rain saved us from a similarly frustrating day.

That said I can't help feeling if the 2 who have been batting all afternoon had been out there bowling our lads wouldn't have had it so easy.

Pitch bag of shite seems grounds now who get test matches just want dead pitches to go five days! Fucking wank

That’s the way to reach a century.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

That’s the way to reach a century.

Dropped on 0 as well.

Don’t think Stokes gets to decide how someone should reach century
