Really Carty. Do tell all. I'm sure none of us knew that.I think they would but I agree we can’t go 2-0 down
they keep saying the result is unimportant so that appears to indicate that they would even forfeit an innings somewhere down the line
it’s been done before iirc in a test involving South Africa and England
that of course turned into a scandal with Hansi Cronje
I was talking to @chunksafc a person I knowReally Carty. Do tell all. I'm sure none of us knew that.
Yes and the relevance to 2nd Ashes Ashes test at lords is.............?You highlighted that comment?

I was talking with @chunksafc how England could forfeit an innings if weather destroys this game. I gave an example of when it happenedYes and the relevance to 2nd Ashes Ashes test at lords is.............?
I didn't know thatReally Carty. Do tell all. I'm sure none of us knew that.
I think Bazball style is more suited to chasing the 4th innings. Like how They did vs India.Back to the game
if I won the toss I would insert the opposition as early wickets can be taken at Lords on a first morning especially if it’s humid conditions
what Stokes or Cummins would do I’m not sure
I took no offence. Talk all the drivel you want. How on earth was it in context? Gor a test match starting in 2 and a bit days, Wanna talk about old scandals suggest you start a thread. It is absolutely of no relevance to this thread how we lost at Lords in 1981 or 2005. You have a reputation for someone who talks a lot but rarely has anything to sayI was talking with @chunksafc how England could forfeit an innings if weather destroys this game. I gave an example of when it happened
am I allowed to say anything at all on here without someone taking offence
It was perfectly in context
Agreed. History. Let's move on.It feels like the first test was ages ago
Not sure what Carty was going to tell you, but amid the various ways in which Cronje disrespected the laws of cricket, one was when he wore an earpiece during play to take instructions from Bob Woolmer. Presumably that also indicts Woolmer.Really Carty. Do tell all. I'm sure none of us knew that.
My opinion of Hansie Cronje, Michael (dirt in the pocket) Atherton or whether Fred Truenan used excessive amounts of Bryllcream on his hair, Mbargogate, Pedalogate etc are well knownNot sure what Carty was going to tell you, but amid the various ways in which Cronje disrespected the laws of cricket, one was when he wore an earpiece during play to take instructions from Bob Woolmer. Presumably that also indicts Woolmer.
Why are you bringing up irrelevant things?My opinion of Hansie Cronje, Michael (dirt in the pocket) Atherton or whether Fred Truenan used excessive amounts of Bryllcream on his hair, Mbargogate, Pedalogate etc are well known
My point is that old cricket scandal has no relevance to his thread
I was talking to @chunksafc not you. He asked how England could win and he didn’t know an example so I told him one, for crying out loudT

i was talking to @chunksafc on how you could win with a lot of bad weather. Forfeit an innings. An example being a game England won v s AfricaNot sure what Carty was going to tell you, but amid the various ways in which Cronje disrespected the laws of cricket, one was when he wore an earpiece during play to take instructions from Bob Woolmer.

I id not "bring up" anythingWhy are you bringing up irrelevant things?
You tried to make a conversation I was having with chunks into some pathetic argument about cronjeI id not "bring up" anything
Simple as that. You dove in with both feet and are now wriggling like a worm on a fishing line about absolutely nothingI id not "bring up" anything
