And suddenly the sun comes out...So what chance do we give the WI of batting before the end of play today?
It has to be their aim given the conditions and how overcast it is.

No. I'm a personal trainer on my free time. I'm a History and Film Studies student, although, I have an 'exam' on something slightly different today.He is a personal trainer if I remember correctly, so possibly something to do with PE?
Same here, whereas a chance can be a basic catch or one that could've been caught with a very good piece of fielding.Heh. A let-off, to me, is simply either a dropped catch (ie a catch that should have been caught) or a bad decision in your favour.
Lucky for you thenLOL, cheers. Thankfully, the external boys at Kings are not to hot on 'bad' English.
Oh I see, apologies.No. I'm a personal trainer on my free time. I'm a History and Film Studies student, although, I have an 'exam' on something slightly different today.
History shows that CW commentary > CricInfo one.ssshhh you're ruining it for those of us with a time delay
What's the odds on another big Strauss innings at Lord's?50 partnership up for England.
I'm too young to gamble, otherwise I'd have money on KP tonning up.What's the odds on another big Strauss innings at Lord's?
And what's the odds on not much else at other grounds?
Wrong way around, TBH. Butcher creates the song, Ramps the dance.From the cricinfo commentary:
"It's all fine at Hove, though, where the Marks Ramprakash and Butcher are creating a song and a dance"
Most commentators have pet words, TBH. David Lloyd has 7 or 8.How many times can David Gower say "decent" in one over?
3 in that one from Collymore.
Good to see bat dominating ballFrom the cricinfo commentary:

PedantWrong way around, TBH. Butcher creates the song, Ramps the dance.
TBH, they'll rarely get a better chance. Given that the ball has apparently been swinging loads this season, the bowling's been very, very poor to date.Cook and Strauss average 37 opening the batting together in 15 innings. Yet to reach a century partnership, is today the day?
There was no "respectively" on the end of that sentence, though. In a combined effort, they are creating a song and a dance. The sentence never attempted to attributed each action to each player, or even say that one player was doing one while the other did the other.Wrong way around, TBH. Butcher creates the song, Ramps the dance.
The bowling hasn't been too bad really, it was quite tidy early on and beat the edge quite a few times. Just too wayward though, as opposed to lacking in penetration. Quite a few leg side deliveries, and also too many short and wide outside the off stump.TBH, they'll rarely get a better chance. Given that the ball has apparently been swinging loads this season, the bowling's been very, very poor to date.
Taylor comes back on as I speak - will we see the when-the-lacquer's-off effect by any chance?
