[fredfertang]

Should have mankaded Moeen tbh

 

[Spark]

Finally, a decent piece of cricket.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Thank christ for that.

Only the Crime for the sub 100.

Still another innings to come.

There is a 2nd innings.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

There is a 2nd innings.

I'm putting it on record that we will not be this bad again.

We'll cruise to 150/9 next time around.

 

[Compton]

Siddle's bowling beautifully.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Lol.

Knick that. That went a foot.

 

[GIMH]

Seriously though why aren't we playing until 7?

AFAIK If there is no rain delay on the day you can't extend beyond 6:30? Which is obviously dumb as they're still making overs up from yesterday.

I thought they extended play to make up lost overs from any day. Stupid not to in these conditions.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

I'm gonna assume Clarke will enforce the follow on as the forecast is ropey for Sun/Monday. Not washout but you never know.

No this isn't the rule. They can do 98 overs if they're making up for yesterday, which usually equates to half an hour later stumps time (half an hour earlier start time in most other countries).

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Edit. Blah not sure now.

Talk about putting the cart before the horse - Moeen, Wood and Finn may yet get us past the follow on

 

[GIMH]

But they play until 6.30 anyway unless they get 90 in.
It's definitely stoooopid

 

[GIMH]

This Siddle bloke sure does run in all day

 

[fredfertang]

No slogging from dasher Moeen - Stokes and Bairstow take note please
