They'd have been behind the bar ;-)

Bloody satisfying!

Clarke is tearing up....

Hey, just heard on the grapevine that the highly acclaimed 'Death of Gentleman' (a documentary about corruption and the potential death of Test cricket) might be showing at the ED PictureHouse on Sunday 27th September, if they can get enough people to sign up. Sadly I can't make it that day, but the place to sign up to make it happen is here: https://www.ourscreen.com/screening/39888

Thanks for the info. I'd like to see that.

I think they 20+ people to sign up for it or it won't take place.

My husband loves cricket. Personally I find a mild eggshell Dulux drying a tad more riveting!

As you do posting this Observation on a cricket thread no doubt.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Anyone else listening/watching? Very nail-biting.

[Alan Medic]

I've just turned it on as I was amazed anything could have been nailbiting about this test.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I think light is going to be our downfall.

[Alan Medic]

Oh I see. It might be decided by how dark it is after 5 days of play. That's cricket!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Well that's a bummer. First spark of excitement is snuffed out by the bloody sun.

..plus first class time wasting :). England unlucky. 4 days of tedium then fantastic last day :)

[Alan Medic]

Isn't it a bit like Mammy saying, 'come in now, your tea is ready'?

Caught the last hour of the morning session on the radio....absolutely astounding session. stokes hit the most runs in a morning session in a test match ever, absolutely amazing stuff.

[Alan Medic]

Where's Brendan?

[Atticus]

Big day for the bowlers, need Amla early!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

35 to go for a stunning victory.

England smash New Zealand and make the T20 final...

[Loz]

That surprised me. I thought the Kiwis were going to win the lot. Stokes and Jordan's bowling in the last 4 was a major factor.

Mind you, Stokes must have thought his luck was in when he got two in two balls, both with dreadful full tosses.

[Dog duck]

I can see England winning this thing...albeit playing average... or possibly being walloped

[Loz]

Holy crap. 19 to get and Samuels stranded at the non-strikers end. Braithwait just closed his eyes and swung.

U19, womens and mens trophies. Maybe, just maybe, there is hope for a Windies resurgence at test level.
