Innocent enslaved Africans vs Drug Addict Slave Traders

[blahblah]

Root is to bat at 3, which will please him

And the WIndies are in India atm

[superlancs]

Does anybody know how to play IPL fantasy cricket in the UK. I can't find any games that will function here this year? Cheers

[blahblah]

Cricinfo used to run a good Fantasy Cricket thing. I'd wait a few days then PM Baganboy as he may know.

Thanks!

Eeee op, our shiny new opener lasted a massive 9 balls, and the other one lasted not much longer and as we cruised to 17-2

The scenery reinforce the stupidity of my\our ancestors: they should have left the slaves here, with the convicts and sailed off to the WIndies...

[blahblah]

Root bowled without playing a shot

[forestfan]

At least we’ve finally played Stokes, Woakes and Foakes in the same team. Shame the other blokes are a bunch of jokes…

[blahblah]

Windies have their 1st 50 opening partnership since they last played the Slave Traders

[blahblah]

-62 with 3 down, not looking good again... they could have taken me for a few weeks of winter sun

[blahblah]

I must say that Grenada looks awesome, and I think that I can understand why the Yanks invaded

If the phone box that some Yank top brass used as they had fooked up the radio frequencies is still there it could be worth a blah visit

[blahblah]

-3 for 6 now, who thought it couldn't get worse than Australia

[forestfan]

Always likely to lose this series but the manner of this defeat proves there has been no progress. Anderson and Broad wouldn’t have made a difference here either.

Stokes, Woakes, Foakes and 8 other jokes.

Maybe not but to me it sent entirely the wrong message, ie that the series doesn’t matter.

And if we really wanted to try something new what was Woakes doing there? Keep him for home tests.

I guess it was a case of seeing whether Woakes could step up and lead the attack. It hasn’t really worked and the injuries to the likes of Wood have made it even harder, though I think even Ambrose and Walsh would have struggled to get much out of the first two pitches!

I’m undecided about Anderson and Broad going forward, this is a long-term rebuild and it might be a few years until we’re competitive, by which time they won’t be a factor. So maybe it is time to move on and let a new team develop. We can’t just hang onto the past. I’d perhaps be more tempted to give Cook and KP a call though

[blahblah]

It was really poor yesterday, being bowled out by a Pringle personator: all credit to him for him hitting the right spots etc....

That was after we managed to help them turn a defecit into a 90 odd lead

[forestfan]

Pringle? Shame we were the ones who crumbled like said curved crispy snack.

New Zealand, India (rearranged from the one they didn’t turn up for last year) and South Africa this summer. Not sure we will improve on 1 win in 17 Tests.

[blahblah]

You don't remember the giant Pringle who bowled polite seam?

Allegedly we are better at home

[forestfan]

Yeah, Derek… remember at least the back end of his career, perhaps the first of many failed “New Bothams” before Flintoff and then Stokes came closer to fulfilling that description (though both are yet to tick off requirements such as a lordship for services to Brexit, and having a grandson who plays rugby for Wales).
