I thought the on field umpires were very good. The third umpires were shit the whole tour.

Reading about Archer and mainly his shoulder injury it doesn’t look good for his long term test match career..

Shoulder or elbow?

Shoulder or elbow?

Shoulder he has a cortisone injection on it to ease the pain while he was India.. at his age it doesn’t look good and why he will probably quit test cricket in the next 18 months

Not good. His elbow has had multiple injections recently too. That’s why I asked.

I agree - hadn't heard of a shoulder problem as well (and discounting fishbowl injuries).

Gives me the impression of overuse after insufficient strength training beforehand.

for those interested Lancs’ opening game in the county championship* is live in full on their YouTube channel - as are all games for the time being


* lancs are in group C of the format they’ve decided on for this season

Lancs made a right mess of that today.

 

[balotellishaircut]

Lancs did well today, 52-3 to 339-5, Vilas scoring 158

 

[roman totale]

Wonderful being able to watch live on YouTube while pretending to work

Anything Shane Warne can do...

I hope we weren't too conservative with yesterday's declaration. Still got 3 wickets to take in one session. We were NEVER going to lose

 

[balotellishaircut]

Lancs doing great again, 80-4 yesterday
350-7 at lunch today, 8th wicket partnership 102 at present, if they can get over 400 Kent have it all to do

 

[bavarian blue]

Lancashire definitely in the ascendancy.

Brilliant by Lancs today. Also with all what's going on in India with their Covid situation why is The IPL still being played?

I've been watching the IPL seen most 2nd half of games when I've come home from work.and some full games at weekend when they have not clashed with City playing.
I've enjoyed it , some top class players, I hope they dont cancel it , and I hope the covid situation gets better in India.

BBC reported the stand by Wood and Lamb as batting at 7 and 8 for the eighth wicket ycnmiu.

 

[lancs blue]

Good to see Lancs enforcing the follow-on, it seems to have become unfashionable in recent years but with a lead of 356 it's hardly a risk.

 

[ESP Blue]

Great day for batting down here in sunny Kent, 128/0 Kent 2nd innings 228 behind

Anything Shane Warne can do...

Batsman finishes right back in the crease, as did Gatting iirc.
I was never much of a bat, but this can't be the correct way to play legspin, especially if the pitch is worn. Can any decent batter tell me what is the correct way?

 

[discopop]

Made some inroads this morning Kent four down and still over a 100 behind, not sure who’s doing the Kent YouTube coverage but it’s fucking awful
