Fucking shitshow

Well this is embarrassing.

I'd say Hales and Vince are gone and it's the unrelenting task of finding Cook another opener for winter. Best we can hope for now is to somehow just bat out all day tomorrow.

Bollocks - I've got a ticket for tomorrow - first Test Match in 23 years and ...

...and you get to watch 1/2 day if that while England get destroyed for an innings.
History repeating itself. Nice day for it though...

Bollocks

Oh well - bit of a beer fest here

An entertaining day in the end. That England last wicket stand must've been fun. Good atmosphere

Yes it was
Well organised beer logistics

Would anyone like to play for the Brixton Cycles Club Cricket team (BCCCC) 'The Mallards' on Saturday?

We have a spot open after @hillbilly remembered he has to work.....

Other forum players include our talismanic batter @dan our talismanic dropper of catches @crowbar and our talismanic holder of pints @Tricky_Business

It's a 40 over game against the Bank of England 4th XI in Roehampton.

13-30 meet for a 14-00 start.

Big appeals out elsewhere for this too.

PM me if keen, no talent required, just a thick skin and a resistant liver

Admittedly tempted, but my batting average of 8 might not be so helpful

Foolishly tempted , but I haven't had my arm over for over 20 years.
I re-live my glory days in my head but ... nah

Can I watch ?

Cricketing skill is not considered necessary! :)

All spectators very welcome. We are raising money for FHHV and I hear that the bar is excellent at BoE

A load from Brixton Cycles will prob turn up too, they normally do

Tempted - woefully inept, but tempted. I also don't own any whites/equipment - would stuff be available to borrow?

Do it! wish i was back in sw9 so i could play, good luck with the match and fund rasing.

I'm playing and I'm proper shite. Nearly 40 years old and only started learning how to play in the last year. Don't let lack of skill put you off, we would have less than half a team if talent were a requirement...

We have 11 now!

A full flock of Mallards

If you want to come down and watch you are more than welcome

First ball is 2pm at The Bank Of England Sports centre (next to Richmond Park) on the 20th

Cheers

Rob

have a great game good luck

No beamers now gents.

Had Finals Day on since this morning, fucking hell watching Mark Wood burst in and bowl at 90mph is great

hes a bit of a beast when he wants to be!

Jason Roy is mint

If you're bored of the Eng/Pak ODI on right now get the T20 on between the Windies and India. Bloody hell.

Crazeeeee

Fucking hell what a game
