Five past/future test players in that batting lineup...Just dug up this game to find out the exact circumstances in which Trott took 7/39. Lol'd.
Symptom of black magic imo.Samaraweera is a horrible batsman, he really is. How the hell does he average 50+?
Well it is his name tbf.Found the report for that game. Doesn't really remark on it much but does call him Ian Trott.
5 excellent deliveries, but almost wastes it with a horrible one down leg stump. It's so frustrating and i'm not sure i can remember a test with so much wayward bowling from English bowlers.3 cracking deliveries from Finn, last one edged to 4th slip area.
Haha indeed.Well it is his name tbf.
Tbf they are only getting 1 test match next summer, but it's going to Cardiff..Considering the pitch is on it's 5th day of use, it is still playing extremely well. This is a nailed on draw IMO.
No more Tests should be awarded to Lord's until they produce a pitch that represents a fair contest between bat and ball.
But there is more chance of the sun going supernova tomorrow than Lord's losing Test matches.
Yeah, it was a bit pansyish not to so much as have a go. Feel for the crowd a bit.One ball away from the tail... hmm
Not so fast.ahhhh just 24 overs of madness from still being in a tied away series against the best test side in the world.
We're not the best side in the world. Not yet.ahhhh just 24 overs of madness from still being in a tied away series against the best test side in the world.
