The Cricket Thread

[Skinner]

Day off today, was looking forward to just watching cricket all day.

Beckenham

Beckenham

Would love to mate but out with work tonight, even on my day off I have to get the train up there!

 

[Bobbin']

What a start.

 

[JJH]

Jimmy gets his 400th and 401st Wicket in his 2nd over of the day.

2/2 - unbelievable.

 

[JJH]

Williamson as well - huge Wicket.

 

[Super_horns]

Wow - Jimmy on fire!

 

[JJH]

Damn - nearly 3 down there.

 

[JJH]

Covers on again.

Incredibly stop start is this.

Ross Taylor

 

[hodge]

Sounded woody that one

Edit - Thigh pad, good call not to review

 

[hodge]

Good lad McCullum, first ball 6

 

[hodge]

Still over a 200% strike rate

 

[hodge]

The more I see of it the more I like Wood's bowling, consistently above 85 mph pushes 90 and seems tidy.

 

[Super_horns]

Stokes and Wood combine to get the danger man out!

 

[hodge]

Stupid thing to do though, now in a precarious position should England get another quick one.

 

[hodge]

Good wicket for Wood, Latham looking solid, really the only one to.

Wonder what kind of shit Ronchi is getting atm.

 

[hodge]

Have the Kiwi's turning up thinking its a ODI? 179-5 off 36 and Ronchi now on 26 off 18 after McCullum's earlier antics.

 

[hodge]

So is Broad going to apologise for that misfield?

 

[hodge]

Not a bad way to bring up your 50 either, not bad for an Aussie

 

[RavenBish]

Ronchi's played terribly and yet look at that score. Positive brand of cricket and all that.

 

[Aber gas]

Mindless from ronchi getting out like that . Not complaining though !

 

[JJH]

Good catch that from Lyth, takes a high catch on the boundary.

Wood's 3rd Wicket this Innings.

 

[JJH]

A days Cricket made very entertaining by such positive intent from NZ.

Good bowling display as well, and a rememberable day for Jimmy.

Still think the Weather will ruin the Test Match, but that isn't such a bad scenario for England.

 

[blademan89]

Another cracking day today to continue on from lords. Im off to headingley tommorrow the weather looks spot on all day so hopefully a positive batting display from england and should be a decent day out.

 

[Bobbin']

Beckenham

Fancy a beer at finals day?

 

[Super_horns]

Let them get too many really with those dropped catches but it was like a ODI.

 

[Skinner]

Fancy a beer at finals day?

What date??

 

[silvergull]

From the limited cricket I saw yesterday, it's clearly a batting pitch. Itll swing and seem early morning, but with the weather set fair I actually expect us to get close to 500 first innings. Not easy, but just a feeling

 

[Skinner]

I'm flying atm

Annoyingly though, I had Northeast as captain on Thursday but not yesterday, cost me about 150 points

 

[Super_horns]

Cook nearing the record.

Be nice if he can do it with a big score.
