*Official* 3rd Test at Edgbaston

[Zinzan]

Can't make fun of WW now now that the new WW ain't a ****

I wasn't meaning the old one, WW came 2nd in the sweep.

Walking Wicket is already the new WW btw, just like AB is the new AB.

 

[morgieb]

At least two down by lunch.

EDIT: Who was the old WW?

WindiesWeathers. Probably our worst poster of all-time. Just a massive antagonistic ****, biased as hell with a tendency to bring up the West Indies in every post, and with a painful posting style to boot.

 

[WalkingWicket]

Clarke to take 5/8 and roll England...

 

[Zinzan]

Thanks, it's getting there. Made some more changes, particularly to my driver swing, and now getting it out there a decent distance, clocked one at 326 yards with GAME Golf the other week which was nice. Not really too bothered about the goal now though, just enjoying playing. If I get there, I get there, but not putting any pressure on. Need to start actually practising if I'm going to have a chance of some decent golf in Spain though. Amazing courses in Spain. Playing Alcaidesa Links while we're out there, which looks incredible. Can't wait!

Sensational mate.

Tight contest between the runs against Finn's bowling and Australia's lead here...which do people think will finish higher?

Son of Coco is actually Shane Warne and I claim my 5 pounds.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Did about all they could there. Given themselves a chance if we get the jitters.

EDIT: Who was the old WW?

he and blocky together formed one of the greatest pair of ****s in modern history.


Are tons overrated in this era?

 

[Hurricane]

I never knew that you needed the darkest red ball possible. Good to know. Hadlee used to count the stitches in the seam but never revealed how many he was looking for.

 

[MW1304]

This is a horrible little total, fair play to Starc for pretty much cancelling out what Moeen did yesterday.

 

[Swingpanzee]

god haze just hasn't gotten it right this match, was pretty mediocre in Lord's too

 

[Johnners]

Haze has been garbage to Cook all series.

I thought I saw some Game Golf diagrams on your blog. It's a good tool isn't it? Do you have the phone app or the tabs for your clubs?

That course looks amazing. I'd have to take a camera and forget about the golf I think haha

It's all crap really

Some balls swing on certain days and if there is no science to it

I'm actually Bryan Adams. Cause everything I do, I do it for you.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

That was pish from Hazlewood. Even more worrying that he threw his hands up thinking he had a chance after he'd bowled the second half volley on his legs.

B-b-b-but Narine wasn't called by in an ICC tournament

 

[OverratedSanity]

Hazelwood has been so rubbish. Strays onto Cook's pads too often.

Wow dude. The only way one could possibly take me golfing

 

[LegionOfBrad]

It's all crap really

Some balls swing on certain days and if there is no science to it

Cold weather (or very humid) and a proud seam causes the ball to swing more as the vortices around the ball increase.

Hence why it goes in England. Duke ball and sometimes **** weather. Literally nothing to do with cloud cover except when it's cloudy its generally colder.

 

[social]

Not that easy I'm afraid

Arguably the 2 greatest swing bowlers in history were Malcolm Marshall and Imran Khan

Neither played in cold and/or humid conditions

Furthermore, colour of the ball is a myth

All to do with the wrist and treatment of the ball
