4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

[Spark]

ok so bearing in mind we won the premiership this specific season, we rolled a mid-table team for 109, we lost our fourth wicket on 109 so in strolls ajdude. must've been the end of the over or something cause we passed their score but we go 10 runs over just in case someone (usually me) ****ed up the books. old mate right arm party pies comes around the wicket to me (also a right hander) when we're on 112, i attempt a flick to fine leg (my bread and butter) but it came off my pad onto the stumps, and old mate proceeds to give me the biggest send off i've ever received. i was so baffled all i could give him was "mate we've already won the ****ing match". much better than an MMarsh ODI ton tbh

Well the rain dance has started.

Not really necessary in Manchester.

**** you ****

yeah words to that effect. he came and apologised to me and i'm just like uh yeah it's fine but i'm more embarrassed for you tbh

 

[Starfighter]

Jofra, mate. You’re bowling too short. You’ve been reading too much of your own press. Pitch it up ffs

The reason why he doesn't is that he's not very good when he does.

Steve Smith now averages over 100 in innings of over 20.

Bowling around the wicket swinging in, no leg slip, fine leg very square and rather close to square leg. What is this ****?

Feels like this day has been coming for a while tbh.

To be honest, India's chances of retaining the Border Gavaskar trophy next year rests on Smith falling in love with a piece of paper covered with abrasive.

Last 3 balls were good

Eh, you'd think even he would be hard pressed to bat better than he did last time and the gap between the sides has increased since.

Broad's range of expressions today has been absolutely fantastic.

 

[Burgey]

Two balls over the wicket, two false shots. After being around the wicket bowling short. Root should be chemically castrated for those tactics, and Broad doesn’t deserve to live for agreeing to bowl to them. Utterly brain dead cricket.

Is that next year? ****, the last one just happened. Seems like the WTC schedule is well planned for India.

Smith has the most runs this calendar year despite only playing in the equivalent of two tests so far.
