Cricket

As it turns out, I watched my old man take 8 for 36 there too, but I was too young to remember.

My dad = better than curtly ambrose

Can England borrow him?

Ha. I am pretty sure he’d rather saw his own head off with a frozen poo, than bowl one ball for you.

WACA for me is always an instant defeat. Would love to see Wood in the side for some actual pace, but don't think we'll see any changes in the side.

Onwards to summer 2018, ha.

anyone been listening to the book reading of over and out by henry bloefeld on radio 4 this week
quite charming, sounds like a laugh

one quickie they used to call cmj " the late cmj " well before he had died due to his poor time keeping

" the england team need to realise they are not on a stag do "

Same team tonight. We're fucked regardless.

Very much this ^

Gah!

Well, this could be a lot worse

Yes. I just checked the score and did a double take.

Malan seems to have some fight in him at least.

YES DAWID!

Can't wait to see how we contrive to fuck this up from here.

Well, we've seen it out. Excellent day.

Well in Dawid

Obligatory "first hour" comment...

Hopefully Moeen will come in with a few more runs on the board and be able to play with some freedom. The idea of him and Bairstow being able to get on top of the bowlers is rather tantalising.

I'm waiting for all the 500+ talk...

Now wondering if anyone has ever scored 500 batting first and then lost by an innings...

A positive day. Tomorrow who know's...fingers crossed

.

Anything over 400 would be competitive. Past that and we could even think of winning a test 😳
