Haha this probably sounds made up but it isn't. I genuinely did that.

Without a blatant display of humour, it is impossible to create a parody of Cribbage that someone won't mistake for the real thing.

While you were making this post I was busy spending BitCoin, so it's hard to argue.

Batting first on what is suppose to be a seam friendly wicket not sure I agree with McCullum's tactics.

Jason Holder at 7, **** me dead that is a terrible notion. He's a test 9 with 8 potential (Cribb 2014), not a 7. Admittedly Ramdin is probably good enough to bat at 6 these days, but holy crap that is poor selection.

I feel sorry for you WW. Pretty sure the WICB is doing everything in their power to not win this series.

 

[Prince EWS]

Yeah not bagging Holder at all but that's a shocker. I complained about Sammy at 7 but this is somehow even worse.

 

[Dan]

Holder in the team, yes. Holder batting at 7, no.

 

[Athlai]

Ramdin is pretty decent these days but I'd say he is a pretty poor number six. Test quality 7 definitely.

But yeah this is risky for WI. Reckon if we score anything over 350+ here we can dominate this match. Our new ball attack and their lack of a tail. Beautiful.

 

[Bahnz]

This looks a much faster outfield.

 

[Bahnz]

Huh, around the wicket in the first over. They must think they've spotted something.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Slightly sloshed and unable to sleep with exams over, today marks the first of the series I've watched live

 

[Flem274*]

wtf is that scorecard? Holder at 7?

 

[Athlai]

Rutherford didn't get a duck.

Amazing.

 

[Bahnz]

Sigh...every now and then Rutherford plays one of those back foot cover drives that makes my heart go pitter-pat.

 

[Athlai]

Thats four? He was still over the rope when he picked it up.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

how many balls will rutherford lasts until he edges on-the-up to second slip?

a) 1
b) 2
c) 500
d) 20
e) go to sleep albi
f) phlegm likes bagels

 

[Flem274*]

phlegm does like bagels

Yeah, the umpires were a bit lazy there, that was a definite boundary. Will rage when we lose the game by 1 run.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

yeah he's not gonna last doing that

 

[Bahnz]

Ugh, what a mess he is. That was nothing more than a leg stump half volley.

 

[Flem274*]

17 run opening partnership is massive compared to our other attempts this series.
