post reported steds. No need for racism.

Aye. It's bloody rubbish. Infact, all helmets are. Back in my day we din't have no helmets. If one o' them darkies from o'erseas sent us a bouncer, we'd take it like a man. Bloody crash helmets. Who does he think he is? Mike Hailwood?

Post reported.

EDIT: Martyn's beaten me to it.

I apologise profusely. Was in character. Must have forgot to add my "YES, THIS POST IS IN JEST!!!"

Good to see someone else suffering from lack of it.

Good, also, to see someone missing the jest in the replies, thinking the replyers had failed to spot the jest.

 

[GIMH]

Little bit out of order mate. Well done for apologising.

Ah, shame the post has been deleted.

Vaughn and Cook starting to build a constructive and powerful partnership.

Haha. Poor cdm. Didn't delete quickly enough.

Vaughn and Cook starting to build a constructive and powerful partnership.

Interestingly, Bravo and Taylor starting to get a bit of swing here... hope Cook and Vaughan treat it with care.

Haha, record 2nd wicket partnership for England vs West Indies at Headingley... of 50*.

 

[Richard]

Gayle gets Cook just before Lunch... looked pretty plumb.

That just might have been a bit careless.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Ah ffs.

 

[grecian]

Well he did get well forward, and there's doubts about the height, but I've have given it. I'm all in favour of umps being strict here.

Batsmen really should use their bats against spinners, I know it's a radical thought

Cook was unlucky to get that wicket.

 

[Richard]

I don't think so, TBH. You get hit on the pad in front of off-stump with someone who bowls from close to the stumps, you're in trouble.

I'm very, very sure, TBH, that he'd have hit the ball (ie played it with the bat) had it not been the last one before Lunch. Just seemed like a complete lapse of concentration - that was a nothing ball, and with the way he's been playing of late I'd never expect him to miss it.

Haha, Harry Judd on Cricket AM.

Why is foxsports not showing this game?! Pretty bloody dire!

Thats what I meant he had a unfortunate lapse of concentration and pyed dearly for it. Just goes to show you always have to be concentrating.

 

[Richard]

Ah, right, OK, thought you meant he was unfortunate with the decision.
