What a way to win!! 😂 Didn’t quite get to 2005 Edgbaston levels of nerves, but it’s been a classic series so far close to that summer in terms of quality. Test cricket needed it. ECB will be happy with the full houses and good weather.
badgerx16 Posted July 14 Posted July 14 (edited) West Indies second innings against Australia, 0:3 after 1 over. EDIT; now 4 down, Starc has 4:0 in 13 balls. EDIT2: now 7:5 and Starc has 5:2 in 15 balls ( the 2 runs were an edge through the slips that didn't quite carry ). Edited July 14 by badgerx16

They’ve gone for result pitches at home, which from an English perspective shreds the confidence of their top order ahead of the Ashes but unfortunately for the Windies with the quality of their world class quicks, even if long in the tooth, has been too much for their even more brittle top order.
Gloucester Saint Posted July 14 Posted July 14 11/6 now, Starc has 5 wickets for 6 off 3 overs. NZ’s 1955 record of 26 all out could go here.

Lighthouse Posted July 14 Posted July 14 They went from 26-6 to 27ao in 9 balls too. Just ridiculous cricket. 1

A day-night pink ball test, which might explain some of it. Starc’s record when they use the pink ball is astonishing. Second Ashes Test at the Gabba 4-8 Dec will be day/night and pink ball (Perth unusually opens with the new Opus Stadium) At least Sabina Park saved on the floodlights bill https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/articles/cdx5p4wy1zlo Hat-trick in there for Scott Boland which explains the slide from 26/6.

badgerx16 Posted July 22 Posted July 22 Shubman Gill says that England's time wasting is against the "spirit of cricket". Presumably his taking 10 minutes physiotherapy on the pitch was OK.
Andrew Watson Posted July 23 Posted July 23 Liam Dawson a wicket with his 7th ball on his return to test cricket, fantastic. 1

Gloucester Saint Posted Friday at 16:28 Posted Friday at 16:28 (edited) As long as Stokes only has cramp, that’s about as good a day as England could be hoping for. The commentary box might need nose pegs though https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/michael-atherton-no-sense-smell-35610826 😂😂😂 Edited Friday at 17:02 by Gloucester Saint
badgerx16 Posted Monday at 08:36 Posted Monday at 08:36 Were England right to get stroppy because India wouln't accept the draw until Jadeja and Sundar got their centuries ?

No. Those two batsmen earned the right to complete their centuries, it’s in poor spirit to expect them to forego that, just so we can p*ss off home half an hour earlier. 3
