Bad miss by Vince?

****ing hell Vince really has made such a dire start to his career.

****ing hell Vince really has made such a dire start to his career.

That's because he's not good enough.

Bad miss by Vince?

Wasn't a stinking drop but type you'd expect a top slipper to hold onto.

****ing hell Vince really has made such a dire start to his career.

Replaced Bell perfectly, though to be fair of all his drops so far that was probably the hardest.

 

[wpdavid]

Sigh. Older CWers will remember the days when our slip cordon featured Strauss, Swann and Collingwood. Happy days, those.

 

[ImpatientLime]

i miss tresco.

goatest of england slippers.

 

[Gnske]

That must be the third drop Vince has made since he came in at least

The halcyon days of 5 years ago

 

[Shady Slim]

see that's the crispest four we'll see all series that was an amazing cover drive

 

[91Jmay]

Replaced Bell perfectly, though to be fair of all his drops so far that was probably the hardest.

Once he scores 7000 test runs and 22 tons then maybe we can talk about him and Bell.

 

[Jono]

This is **** bowling

Indeed.

Which gets me wondering about the best England slip cordon I've seen.
Maybe circa 1977 featuring Brearley, Greig and Hendrick. Plus Knott as keeper, of course.

 

[Jono]

So I think we know this guy ain't a slipper

 

[Daemon]

Is it the bat, ball, stump mic or just me that's resulting in that unusual hollow sound when ball hits bat.

 

[wpdavid]

This is **** bowling

Ball was a bit unlucky in that over, wasn't he?

 

[Shady Slim]

should make a thread asking the best cordon in test cricket right now... i would except i don't remember each country's cordon off the top of my head.

 

[91Jmay]

Great start for Pakistan. Reckon Finn on for Ball now. He has bowled ok, but going for a few runs.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Once he scores 7000 test runs and 22 tons then maybe we can talk about him and Bell.

Well Bell of the last 18 months of his career scored no runs and dropped loads so Vince is doing a good impersonation of him right now.

 

[Shady Slim]

if bats didn't have edges that wouldn't have gone for four
