Day night v Windies
West Indies keeper must have had a boring day.lol
Nice one Joe and Cookie Suspect this will be a really one sided affair. |
- Men vs boys, it would seem. Sad, the decline of the Windies.
- What do you think to the so-called 'spectacle'? I find it actually harder to track the pink ball.... Even WITH a new (almost luminous) ball under the lights! It's too light - not 'contrasty' enough - against the green grass. :( |
I agree ! They must have put a lot of thought into the colour but it is harder to see IMO?!
|
I think the pink pigment is dictated by practicalites/desired characteristics (Sky did a piece on it before play, interviewing the proprietor of Duke).
Otherwise, it'd be FAR better to have a genuine luminous ball...that would properly light up! Shame, really. :( |
Damp squib :(
|
It's not good for test cricket.
The lack of competitiveness from Windies, I mean. The gulf in ability is embarrassing, to be honest. |
Payback for the Blackwash of 84 ;).
They are pony nowadays, not the best prep for the Ashes |
Windies are a shadow of their former self at the min, given the number of young players they have coming through there's potential for them to become a pretty good team in the next few years though.
|
"Edged and gooone!"
Gotta love Mikey. :cool: |
Westley is struggling big time against a second rate bowling attack.
No chance of making the Ashes tour party. Probably the worst No 2 and No 3 ENG have had in years, they really need to fill these holes in time for Oz |
Off to Headingly tomorrow. Spur of the moment.....
15 quid :D puts 90 mins of football to shame.lol |

15 quid :D puts 90 mins of football to shame.lol :cool: - Pivotal, potential enthralling day for you, in store... Can England get a decent lead to bowl at. Ideally, around 230 - or 200 at the very bare minimum, I would think. So will need to bat really well to get to IRO 370-400+...!! # Roooooooooot # - Fair play to the Windies, though... They've finally grown into men. :D |
:DReally looking forward to it
Dead chuffed get to see Root bat and hope the other boys do their thing Yep,pivotal. Really glad West Indies giving us a game:thumb: . And I've never been to Headingly :cool: |
- I've only ever been to one international... Our metalwork teacher lol arranged a day out in the mid-80s to see an Eng v Pak ODI (at Edgbaston, IIRC). Eng won a thrilling match.
- Went to quite a few Essex matches (mostly the old 40ovs Sunday League) with my Dad (RIP) through the 80s. That was when Essex had an awesome team. - Also saw 1985 Essex v Notts NatWest final (60ovs)... One of the most incredible finishes to a match... https://youtu.be/JbuzyNzYP5Q |

Do you intend to get 'well oiled'? :beer: ;) :lol1: |
Wow, I bet you couldn't believe how well the day turned out for Eng. You must've been loving it. :thumb:
|
Well. As Ricky Gervais would say:
# I never expected that. I never expected thaaaaat! # |
I had a cracking day thanks:thumb:
The nuns a few rows in front were well oiled.lol Set up nicely for the next one. And yup, wasn't expecting that today:eek: |
As much as I don't want the Windies to get as good as they were in the 80s lol, I'm glad that they competed... And what a win!
Cricket needs a strong Windies in tests... Here's hoping they can keep up the raised level. |
Here we go again! Hope the weather holds.
See Woaks has been replaced by TRJ. We will see ! Blimey, only got two league matches left myself :( |
I'd like to see a spirited response from ENG today as they clearly took the windies too lightly in the second test after the easy first test and never recovered their composure.
I still have major concerns with No's 2 and 3, no one is stepping up to make it their own, someone needs to with the Ashes around the corner.... |
123 All Out, that's more like it.
Good work by Stokes with a 6 fer |
80 minutes later I'm wondering if this test will see Day 3 Lunch !!
ENG 2 and 3 setting the place alight again :rolleyes: That said 1 and 4 haven't done owt either |
Hmmm. Root gone too. Bugger
|
T20 tomorrow. And Gayles playing . Should be good!
|
"Chris you're sh!t!!" :lol1: :lol1:
Anyone else pick that up on the mic (after Gayle dropped that dolly in the 3rd ODI)? |
The bloke obviously has an amazing eye.. but he just simply does not seem to care! He could have had 200 today. He just waddles down the wicket. I know he's injured but....
|
No time for the guy, he's everything that's wrong with Cricket these days, just a T20 whore.
Will never go down as a great imo |
