Oh really?!?!

Because SP, of course, wasn't trying to make a joke there, and was in fact actually suggesting you couldn't read. We were all eagerly awaiting your take on it.. I'd have surely taken his post as gospel if you hadn't contradicted it.

He often tries to make jokes, often at my expense. Usually they're as piss-poor as that, and are best laughed-off.

Indeed.

Nice try, Gegmeister. You really are a strange one sometimes.

 

[Richard]

Anderson to Flynn, no run, big inswing there from Anderson, it really curves in to Oram and strikes him on the leg, but very high and there was no real appeal

Love the way you can't read after 55,000+ posts.

I could read easily about 12 years before I made any posts.

Hahahahaha

 

[Richard]

Oh, no, not at all - I know I'm a strange one, and I say so, and it's more than just sometimes.

 

[Richard]

WoW, what an unbelievable bit of fielding from Anderson! Be a shame if he hasn't saved the four.

So Panesar fails miserably again to get the breakthrough with conditions in his favour (two left-handers batting with the inevitable rough, wearing pitch). If he can't do in this situations he's a waste of space - oh wait we already knew that.

Why do you dislike him so much? He did not get 92 Test wickets by being a waste of space.

It's a waste of time engaging that pillock. Rest assured he'll be on here in a flash to gloat when we're down and find some ridiculous excuse when we're on top.

The same can effectively be applied to Panesar.

Careful though TBH, we've been told not to use that on the forums any more.

 

[Manee]

Point taken.

oh have we? oops, apologies to all concerned, i'll save that little chesnut for MSN in future.

Probably being a nuisance but what does it mean?

 

[Richard]

I'll tell you on MSN sometime - not this minute as I've got to be off to ' gym fairly soon, but later maybe if you're on.

Back at Lord's, Oram closing-in on a century. Hope he gets it TBH, nothing else of use can come of this match.

 

[Richard]

New-ball.

30 overs left, no chance of victory now, but hopefully (ideally after Oram getting his century) we might get a few wickets.

Oram into the 90s.

 

[Bahnz]

Has Oram's foot movement improved at all during the course of this innings?

 

[Richard]

Not enormously so TBH, he's just managed to get his bat in the right positions.

As he whacks another four down the ground to move to 97* without any real feet at all.

 

[Richard]

Well played Jacob David Philip Oram.
