Cricket Thread - England v West Indies

[simes69]

We wait three months for the season to start and rain delays the start!

 

[Sincilbanks]

Kick-off at 2pm I think?

 

[bbh 11]

Great start 0-1 !!!!!!

 

[Sincilbanks]

Plus ca change...

 

[Chesterimp]

....and off again for rain, at least we've equalised, 1-1.

Nice comment on BBC about England's batsmen socially distancing bats from balls.

Plus ca change indeed.

Ah I was wondering why after the garden was looking like a desert for the past few weeks it has suddenly been washed from the skies for the past couple of days....cricket has started...should have known

 

[NottyImp]

30-3 on the cards...

 

[Sincilbanks]

30-3 on the cards...

We're always 30-3...unless we're 90-5

Has anyone noticed we are using English umpires as opposed to neutral ones.I imagine this is due to Covid as opposed to a change in policy.

Yes, due to Covid. And I'm sure they said on TV 3 reviews per side per innings instead of the usual 2.

Denley bowled by a terrific delivery from Gabriel 48-2.

Who follows it up with Burns lbw on review, 52-3, hope 'England collapse' doesn't make an early appearance in summer test match bingo.

 

[Chesterimp]

Hoped in vain, early appearance of the collapse at 87-5

 

[sedgleyimp]

A clear sign of society returning to normality is an England batting collapse...

 

[hulloutpost]

You've gotta erm feel for Dom Bess - 3 deliveries to his 'taties' in one over

 

[hulloutpost]

Less than 200 almost inevitable now. Won't know the relevance until Windies have batted though. There is a chance that their batsmen are going to be undercooked in bowler friendly conditions. All to play for.

 

[simes69]

I think this may be an ok score for England.

 

[Chesterimp]

This has gone a bit quiet...

114 runs behind on first innings, 14 overs tonight to build the foundation of a good second innings score, what could possibly go wrong?

Sounds like a 30-3 scenario with a night watchman in residence.

Needs a steady start this morning.
