Anag Ram Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Can we play someone better, please? Bangladesh or Ireland would do. Just goes to show. Everyone thought Sri Lanka was the warm-up for India. India travel about as well as Swedish wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anag Ram Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I'd love to know how many balls England bowl would hit the stumps. I'm betting on less than 10%. Fred Trueman will be in rotisserie mode! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlier, a lot. Against the last wicket pairing, hardly any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovis aries Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Cook plumb LBW not given . He's a lucky boy again. How many times do you think Bradman, and Sobers and Lara etc were " Out" but not given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEL Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 England 62-0 close day 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 How many times do you think Bradman, and Sobers and Lara etc were " Out" but not given. Half a bat, half a bat, The umpire blundered? He could have been out for nought Yet made four hundred. The Windies had thirty-three When they lost Daren Ganga. leg before to Freddie and the crowd bayed in anger.

Posh Ram Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Great days cricket at the Oval today. I've a great view from my seat as well. Because of the exciting nature of the match, however, the beer snakes were very disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daaave Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Big runs for Cook and Robson today would be excellent, end the series with everyone having found a bit of form. Really is astounding we managed to lose to this shower at HQ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posh Ram Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Second day, good progress by us. Reckon we will be all out for 450-ish and then tear through them tomorrow, Test could be over by end of day. That'll be three wins out of three, all by an innings... highlights how poor India have been. It's a shame really as I'd like to see this young group of players be tested a bit more, but it's a good feeling to finally be back to winning ways.

After all, their members are allowed to wear bacon and egg around their necks.

(I may have misinterpreted something somewhere along the way) Haha I'd say you have , I don't know if I'm posh enough for Lord's but it's tough enough at the Oval anyway - once I tried to join in a Mexican wave and was looked upon with contempt by everybody within a hundred-seat radius. All this formality and restriction, however, is more than made up for by the giant Yorkshire puddings and cumberland sausages that they serve.
