The rugby team with the same moniker didn't show any fight last yearThe name suggests they might actually show some fight, but we'll see

Let's not get into that, there are a huge number of reasons why they struggled against the All Blacks.

Well they did have Bridgetown 1994 (Stewy's twin tons, Gus Fraser's 8-for) on earlier in the day.

If I were to be in complete charge of the classification of matches, those games would be stripped of Test status. That's all I'm getting at. I recognise, obviously, that I$C$C clas**** them as such but I don't have to accept it.

Awww, whaaaaaaaaaat?
I'd have been more keen on seeing that than a day's live play. Confound work.

That's the thing though, I do beleive you have to accept that these games are Test matches, even though we both know that Zimbabwe vs Australis shouldn't be considered one.
On that subject, has anyone seen the book on the '76 series yet? i reckon its a good idea to have one but what is it like?

You mean this one?
As we said on the Books thread, it looks like it might be a good read - a bit pricey in hardback though. This is his first cricket book I think; he seems to write more about Arsenal FC.
As I understand it, it's not raining at the moment, but they can't play because of a wet outfield. Isn't it time all our Test grounds had covering for the whole playing area, as they have at Edgbaston? Sure, it would be expensive - but how much did yesterday's washout cost?

I hope you're watching now, though - Port-of-Spain '98 (3rd Test).Awww, whaaaaaaaaaat?
They seem to prefer showing England wins, but I don't suppose they're going to show any BBC/Channel 4 matches - so it's unlikely we'll get Lord's 2000. But we've seen that many times.
Were Sky covering the 1990 series? Nobody I knew had satellite back then.

Or go one better and build a roof. Alas you would need Roman Abramovich's bank account to do that.You mean this one?

Yes they did (I didn't have satellite then but it was mentioned somewhere that that was the first England tour you could see BBB coverage). Thye could show Lord's 2000 - I remember they showed Headingley 2000 during this year's Headingley Test's rain delays - but with Sky's commentators not C4s (Sky did Test highlights at that time)
