He is really easy on the eye, Ding Dong, isn't he? Those two sixes were both gorge.

 

[benchmark00]

bbl.

 

[Stumpcam]

It's pissing down again!

 

[Spark]

Fun while it lasted, I guess.

 

[stumpski]

Does keep, the young lad...

True, and that may have put paid to Steve Davies' hopes of a winter tour. Always handy to take a batsman who can keep, as Alec Stewart discovered.

 

[Pothas]

Well that is that then.

Lovely to see Bell playing some shots though after his 3 off 47 ball aproach in the test series.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Wales. I ask you.

You know your climate's ****ed when Manchester looks like a desert by comparison.

Offa didn't dig his dyke deeply enough.

Which sounds faintly rude when I read it back.

 

[stumpski]

This could be it in match terms, can't afford to lose more than about 25 minutes.

 

[stumpski]

Has 20 overs always been the minimum? I'm sure shorter games have been played in the past.

 

[Stumpcam]

This could be it in match terms, can't afford to lose more than about 25 minutes.

Match officially abandoned now!

 

[stumpski]

Not going to be much fun seeing this again tomorrow.

 

[grecian]

Well, helped Bell and Cooks average, I suppose, otherwise a huge waste of time. Well done Wales and the ECB.

Look forward to watching more rain tomorrow in the T20.

Man, Elgar's not blessed with looks, is he? Jesus. Face only a mother could love.

Not sure what you see in him, but I think KP takes the ugly biscuit tbf..

I would've thought being able to sell advertising space on their covers would've been their first clue.

Haha good shout.

Jimmy Anderson promoting the cover of his autobiography on twitter today(in all **** bookstores september 13 according to him). Why can't these players wait to the end of their career before they bring out something worth reading? I guess it's their ****ing agents grabbing more money. If he could have learnt anything from Swann's auto is that wait until the end of the career and it doesn't matter what you write in your autobiography. Write it whilst your still playing it's either going to upset a **** load of people and cause **** like this KP stuff to escalate( Swann) or say nothing (Cook, Strauss) and the book hardly being worth the paper it's printed on.

I crave for the days a player waited to the end of his career and then puts some effort into writing an autobiography- not the crap they put out every 5 years or so now.

I'll give KP credit, the one thing he hasn't done is an autobiography. Top bloke - just the kind of guy you'd like a pint with.
