Cricket

Such a shame. What a job though.

Pain

Stuart fancies a bowl…

Watching Broad bat will never not be funny

W.G.Grace remains the only test debutant to take a wicket & score a century, apparently.

For those who enjoy the wordle thing

Stumple.me

Rooooooooooot

Good grab that. They are talking it up like it’s the best thing ever though, which is a bit ott.

Get in Leachy

Roller-coaster innings to come

Is there any reason why someone with a musical instrument should be allowed into a cricket ground?

Lord's has it right. No flags, no musical instruments, can still bring in a bit of your own booze.

Barmy army trumpeter has been allowed in for years. Adds to the atmosphere.
He picks his moments to pipe up.

Can't happen again. Can it?

If you’re prepared to risk a bottle or three of cheap red from the Tesco up the road you can blag your way into Lords with a few and say you’re bringing it in for mates who are already in there. Get them to do the same. Last time I did that I can just about remember watching Jimmy get his 500th wicket. I remember not queuing for booze all day which was a delight

Crawley, not content with being a walking wicket, decides to run out his partner…

Crawley you fucking moron

Fantastic by the fielder and bowler though.

There's a secret bar that rarely has any queue...

Two daft reviews. Hope that comes back to bite them

Never had much of a problem with bar queues at Lord's, especially now they have dedicated bars for bitter/lager/Guinness.

As with most bars it's the people that order 3 G&T's and wank on about which Gin and which tonic they want in each, a Pimms, a decaf cappucino, a chai latte, a bottle of wine "can I see the wine list please?", then right at the end and just before paying ask for a Guinness.

Can you still take a bottle of wine or four beers into a Lords test?

Yup. Helps keep things ticking over

They've changed the rules on alcohol for limited overs games I think

Gutted the trains are expensive tomorrow for Day 5

Dukes hastening the their own demise by producing shit balls that go squoval.

I was thinking about it but even on the other side of the Pennines, it seems a long way to go for a session and a bit.
