Cricket Thread

I'm in this camp to be fair, he's paid to voice his opinion and at the time his opinion wouldn't have been wildly different to most cricket fans. Took ownership of it as well when he was proved wrong unlike 99.9% of sports pundits.
Yep, for me he’s one of the good guys. Unlike Atherton Hussein and ward who just seem to be there to suck up to the Indians. Also loved the shots of Tuffers not afraid to give it plenty when England took wickets
 
Great atmosphere at Lords tonight!!!!!!!
Thought someone cheered when Middlesex took a wicket, but they were just celebrating the waiter bringing a fresh bottle of 'bubbly'!!!!!!!!!!

Blimey the South Group sounds awfully posh. At Wantage Road (Northants) the one and only choice at 90% of the bars is lager and certainly no waiters in sight.
 
Corky 's going about 'which Lancs fielder will be put in front of the Western Terrace' tomorrow and Middlesex and Surrey (just 5 miles apart) are playing in a library.

Middlesex have really struggled. They played some T20 "home" games in Chelmsford at Essex' ground last season. Think it was costing too much to roll in temp stands in their usual alternative venue to Lords.
 
Just awful. Buttler hogging the strike for 4 deliveries, scoring 1, getting 2 people run out then getting himself out anyway. Very poor.
Think it was the obvious thing to do. Ok it didn’t work out but Buttler batting with 9’s and 10’s who would you want on strike? Could be a match winning innings from him anyway

I've just liked a comment from @cleavers saying 'brain dead tactics in the last over' and I still agree with that.
Had Shafique not had his own brain fart he'd have a load more likes, too!!!

Still we won and I'm buzzing!
Loved Wood's reaction to Jonny!!!!!!
 
A Lancs player gets 77 off 46 deliveries in a Roses clash, effectively winning the match...and yet it's still sh"te.
Did you watch it ? Yes he top scored and at times batted well. However some of his decision making, especially at the end of the innings was attrocious, we got 3 runs in the final over mostly due to his running (or not on ball 1), then he got himself run out to bring the great batsman that is Jimmy for the last 2 (well 1) ball.
