Lords is Lords. It's always going to have the pop of champagne bottles and the older purist fans who sit there quietly chatting to each other. The only time it's ever been anything different is the Bairstow run out in the Ashes - even the MCC old boys got feisty that day.

The Oval is a great atmosphere and would be much more like the atmosphere you get at Edgbaston etc.

Gives the members a chance to air those lovely striped jackets...





Lovely!

It'll be good at the swamp 2 as well if the match is anything like this one is

unfair to give it that moniker - there half a century before the swamp.

I'm still ever so slightly uneasy with Jadeja still in. He's a stubborn bugger. But basically, there isn't a team on earth that I'd back to get 81 runs with their last two wickets, on the fifth day, in the fourth innings, on a pitch that's misbehaving. It just shouldn't happen.

England have been brilliant and one thing about this current team what we lack in top 3 batting we make up for with BALLS.

I sincerely hope our bowlers and fielders give Siraj the shit he deserves. The biggest **** in a team full of cunts

100%. It’s the Real Old Trafford.

Stick it up the Bumrah!!!

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Just got in after being stuck on the wretched fucking carpark that is the M25.

Delighted to see them 8 down. Now, go and finish the job.

My kids still refer to the tram stop as Lancashire cricket ground

Surprised that the commentators haven’t mentioned the slope much…

Oh I don’t know. Their young spinner put me off these cunts for life yesterday with the wankiest interview I’ve ever seen a cricketer give mid-test.

Even the convicts were always more self effacing.

Didn't want to type OT, I'm sure you'll understand, if not I apologise in advance for my pettiness

Proper fucking drama. Test cricket pisses all over ODI and T20

If Bashir can’t be trusted to bowl a single over whatever the poor love has done to his non bowling hand then what’s the point of having him in the side?

Stokes must have realised no point having him on field, and can't blame him

So why select him? Fourth innings , day 5, dry pitch

Because the poor little lamb has hurt his finger, so be a liability in the field

Southern toffs for you sipping their champers and eating fondue.

I can honestly say I’ve never seen anyone eating fondue at the cricket.

It will always be Warwick Road to me.

You’re missing my point. I understand not to have him on the field but not ask him to bowl a single over in the fourth innings? It’s also not his bowling hand

never been in the posh part?
