Man, what's up with this? Bad light, bloody hell.

 

[Richard]

Yeah, didn't see that light coming at all. Alastair deprived of a shot at a century before Tea.

Mark Butcher...

I can dream, I know. He's not even opening for Surrey these days, Batty preferred for some reason.

Good call. And no, I don't know why he's batting at 4 for us, either (even allowing for 170+ against Sussex today).

How could you? First Test cricket in four months, and you almost forgot?

Stayed up late last night and wasn't in favour of the sqaud selection. Therefore wasn't too excited about the series. Was watching some talk show when I realised that there's cricket on.

 

[Pratters]

It was more fantasising about Man U last month or so I think.

 

[Pratters]

God didn't want the queen to watch the cricket.

3.25pm And the batsmen have been offered the light and are heading off faster than one of Henry VIII's wives to the chopping block.
good ol' cricinfo

 

[Richard]

Haha, Bumble. "Like David Gower he's not flamboyant". Hmm...

Nah I already expressed my disgust at the selections earlier in this thread TBH.

It's an English summer. What's out of the ordinary about bad light in the middle of the day?

 

[GIMH]

So, been away from my comp for a bit. In conclusion:

-We are all delighted test Cricket is back
-It's great to see Richard in this thread, just as it was when England played NZ in the WC
-People are full of love for KP/Cook



Build our batting line-up round them IMO

It's just not cool.

 

[Mister Wright]

It's just not cool.

It's an English Summer, so it more than likely is coolish.

 

[Richard]

Haha, good-'un, Kyle. If we're thin on the ground for Skulls this week, that's up there.

Nice that you remembered exactly what the occasion was, but I regret to inform you that you need speak for yourself.

 

[Mister Wright]

Oh. A cricketweb award. That would be a first for Mr. Wright.

Customary meeting the monarch finished.

 

[GIMH]

what's the light like now?

 

[Richard]

Seems fine and

thought it was pretty straightforward - you were saying it was good to see me in here - there might be 1 or 2... who disagree.
