archer put a stop to that

Glad to be wrong! So good he's back.

he's pretty special!

Ooof. Straya scorecard in India...

Found some new local¹ nets² but they'll be free³ to use once the season starts again.

MiniGB has got taller and with that height has come some extra pace, she's still powered mostly by grumpiness (and it works). Hopefully a weekly net session with me acting as a target/bowling-machine won't set her back too far.

1. Putney Heath - they belong to Roehampton CC
   
2. that currently don't have nets, I need to ask then roughly when they'll put them up
   
3. free to book but they're asking for donations for upkeep so not quite free
   

… my heart bleeds .. shame it’s not on the radio anywhere

Was it on BT Sport? Highlights alert appeared on my phone about an hour ago.

Probably but I like lying in bed and listening in the early hours - possibly not to the majority of the Aussie commentators - Maxwell excepted but I bet the Indian commentary is good - especially after that first innings !
Five live extra had the ABC commentary from the South African series but guessing the BCCI won’t let any thing get broadcast without it costing millions to put in their pockets

Yep, it's on BT Sport 1 from 4am each day.

Aussies staring down the barrel

Again, Harry Brook is good

Wtfigo? We seem to have declared on the first day with only a paltry score.

No point when it's a good time to bowl

Obviously been vindicated

Seems so. Different gravy the way this team play.

Yes strange scoreboard to wake up to.
RR of 5.6, NZ 3 down.

Declaration to save Anderson?

England continues in the same spirit

Long live the Nighthawk

Blundell wtf that was your catch you twat

Anything to annoy a piece of shit like Kuggeleijgn is fine by me

Yeah picking him is fucking awful. Shame on everyone involved.

Kuggeleijgn

I did not know about this. Horrible.

Stuart's legs are pumping

Nothing I love more than Broad on an absolute rampage!

Broad is literally on fire tonight*

This is incredible stuff.

*Not literally, obvs.

better than Warne and McGrath not just at bowling but not gobby/sleazy either.

I’m actually a bit concerned about the future of English Test cricket. I mean, what are we going to do in 20 years time when Broad and Anderson retire?
