With the chat in here earlier, it’s a wonder that the Indians haven’t forfeited.23 overs (I think) to the new ball. If we can get 60-70 runs in that period (preferably with no further loss of wickets), I might start to believe that it's on!
Do you know I was just thinking thatIt's a pity that Sky ditched The Verdict. I enjoyed that programme at the end of each day's play. But I suppose with Bob no longer with us, they felt it was the right thing to do, to draw a line under it.
Fingers crossed he never scores another century again.Virat Kohli is a shithouse…just saying.
Great stuff, just missing the summertime…..Just wondering...
Does anyone else still enjoy the cricket via Radio 4 Longwave in the garden with a nice cup of tea or a cold beer?
For me, those things combined is summertime in a nutshell.
It’s amazing we’re still in this game, let alone going to win it.The tail is very long with Potts at 8. Think we might come up just short, but fair play to Root and Bairstow this afternoon for stealing the initiative. I think we'd have been skittled for around 150, 6 months ago.

It's a toss up between him and Kyrgios who is the biggest twat in world sport, c'mon England and c'mon Garin.Virat Kohli is a shithouse…just saying.
Na I ditched it, the shipping forecast at 12 ruined TMSI seem to have read somewhere recently that Longwave is being closed down because of budget cuts. Incorrect?
Edit: the Beeb on Longwave, I mean of course.
For years and years I listened to the old World Service on Shortwave, starting in Africa in ’75. Still a bit nostalgic about the way it would fade in and out as James Alexander Gordon read the results. Sometimes I felt like picking up the radio and smashing it — it would happen just as it came to the City result. It seemed as though the ionosphere was in cahoots with the Beeb to deprive me of my fix.
We should have this won by lunch
JeezI think it'll be over inside 20 overs.
which way you didnt mention good tacticsI think it'll be over inside 20 overs.
