Innocent enslaved Africans vs Drug Addict Slave Traders

[blahblah]

Cummings not playing

Contact with a COVID bod, but he has tested negative since and should be ok for next week.

A green bowling attack

[blahblah]

The Aussies are settling down for a long one, and I assume declaring at tea tomorrow to get a good crack at it with a hard new ball...

Stokes is getting great figures bowling wayward short stuff and Root seems happy to play the containing game.

[blahblah]

Root is getting a LOT of turn, and Leach isn't playing - does anyone else have Lyons in the Comp

Amazingly all the teams are unique

I should have added that it is going to be HOT tomorrow ie 39C, so the bowlers will be rather tired

[blahblah]

Unbelievably Stokes is still bowling Bodyline when the pink ball is supposed to be moving about under lights...

[blahblah]

Buttler drops a sitter from Lab on 95.....

On course for this, although I'll tweak it to 30 mins after tea, as it doesn't get dark enough until an hour after tea.

Thankfully for you, the price for that wasn't too heavy.

PS: Please do follow the utter tomfoolery that's team India's captaincy situation now. Hilarious, if it weren't your team. The South Africans will have a walkover with this shower of s**t.

[blahblah]

For me? My team is all Australian

PS: are the re any good websites?

[blahblah]

The Law of Averages mean there has to be a wicket at some time and one stays low for Jimmy and press the fear of batting into Burns et al......

[blahblah]

Jimmy draws a bit of a false shot from Carey

It is the pitch starting to pay up a bit before dusk?

Maybe I should be in charge of them. I doubt that I could do worse......

Burns is not a Test cricketer

Burns is not a Test cricketer

Unfortunately he’s been the least bad of all those we’ve tried opening since Cook retired. The cupboard is bare, unless we perhaps try a wildcard slogger again or a permanent nightwatchman.

[blahblah]

Hameed is my pick - although he's just flicked Neser to Starc.

[forestfan]

We still need two, though… I do feel that picking “specialist” openers is almost wasting a couple of places in the team nowadays. It’s impossible to learn the trade in county cricket when you’re only facing the red ball in May and September when 75mph bowlers swing it round corners and every other ball’s got your name on it.

[blahblah]

The lack of pace is also woeful

[forestfan]

The lack of pace is also woeful

Well, we’ve got a few pace bowlers, but they’re all sicknotes of Darren Anderton proportions. Blame those sodding “strength and conditioning” programmes that either break them or knock 10mph off their pace.

[blahblah]

Saved by lightning is a new one on me, but Malan and Root are playing well.....

[blahblah]

DRS shite just cost me 35 points, for 3 minutes

[forestfan]

Stokes playing a bit of T20 now, all he can do really.

[blahblah]

Yep.

A good day on the Comp, hoping they enforce the Follow On

[blahblah]

Smith is back in my good books as Warner got so few...

[blahblah]

Starc bowling round the wicket gets Root on, or just over, his box.

Starc's initial reaction is really funny as he tries to cover his laughing - others weren't so coy

[Bob Newhart]

Starc bowling round the wicket gets Root on, or just over, his box.

That might affect him living up to his name.

I'm not that crude

However he certainly hasn't taken root at the crease

[blahblah]

So the Racists have had a "not good enough" meeting - is that the last resort of a desperate....?

From a bod who defended picking Leach in the 1st' but not the 2nd that takes some beating. The selection for the 3rd could be interesting as not many are sure of their place yet replacements have had no match time.....


The selection confusion of the Convicts' bowlers is enhanced by them calling up another Quick, when they have Cummins and Hazelwood back.

[blahblah]

OMFG the mighty Gower is back on Commentary
