Cricket

Right. That’s the first two days which are normally boring out of the way. All set for a meeting free day to catch day 3 where the action is.

'sake.

Could be worse?

Yes, it could.

At least we've managed to put all the pitch talk to bed.

So just tons from Lawrence, Pope and a fifty cameo from Foakes required then...

Might make 200 at this rate!

Some imagination required from Silverwood and Root.
We won the toss; thus a rested and confident Foakes should be sent in
according to his batting prowess, and match conditions, not an arbitrary position
on a team sheet, so that he can form run accruing partnerships with other batsmen,
rather than trying to eke out a few runs protecting the tail.
Today Foakes should have in to bat after Bairstow was dismissed.

Ollie Pipe, poor sod!

Foakes in and Bess still to come.

Easily got another 33 runs in us

And a second freak one.

Ah, no, just bounced before it hit Short Leg's boot.

Not out

If Lawrence gets a ton then we have a game to watch, else I fear another Indian parade.

Perusers of this thread may have formed the opinion that I was supportive of the notion that Foakes should have been batting higher than No. 8.
It is clear that I possess neither the experience nor judgement to be a cricket selector.
As you were.

That was a good read.

If Lawrence gets a ton then we have a game to watch, else I fear another Indian parade.

Right on cue

statistically speaking, commenting on any english batsman right now is liable to closely precede their wicket.

Dismal performance
No excuses

200? Please?

Time for Jimmy to step up and finally get that maiden Test century.
