You can listen to the England women's test on Guerilla Cricket.

talksport have won the rights to the next five years of England away commentary ….shit.

Whatwhatwhat? Does this mean no TMS?

Are we...back?

England's final four overs bowled:
25, 15, 21 and 18!

Fuck yeah Brook

That's an impressive run chase from Salt, with a decisive cameo from Brook.

ffs - OH made me change the channel just as Brook was coming out.

The blazers won't like this much...

I should learn not to get ahead of myself, but here we are

Fucking hell , talksport radio commentary is utterly shite.
England doing quite well though …

Well this is nice

Not so nice.

Just watched the highlights - not really bothered by T20 game but , wow , some powerful batting by both sides …. Salt particularly brutal and glad his game is letting Butler get back in his grove

These last two games feel like they've had proper postage stamp vibes of terms of boundary size - didn't take much for either side to absolutely launch it

I couldn't give a shit about the IPL but Salt going unsold yesterday was a bit mad

I can get involved.

But first

Absolutely not

Well , dear users mesplius and c00ps …. hope you are happy with yourselves putting the mockers on what should have been Englands glory deciding win ..
Can’t see the Windies letting this go … I reckon they will blast these runs off in no time…

Ooh , closer than expected , well done West Indies - pleased for them but happy to see England put up a fight and good to see some promising younger players come through ….

lol

Wicket doing a bit then?

Ravi Shastri's commentary makes it even funnier

I just watched the highlights of that on YouTube. Hilarious collapse that included a comedy run-out too.

Wot a bonkers first day at a test match … 23 wickets down and despite that collapse , India still ahead by 60 odd runs .. !
In other news , enjoyed listening to the last wicket partnership in the Aus / Pakistan game …. most Aussie commentators getting a bit miffed - they made McGrath sound like the voice of reason … which was weird .. !
