*Official* First Test (Edgbaston, Birmingham) 16–20 June

[Xix2565]

Duckett and Brook have only played under McCullum so it's difficult to say if they can or not because they haven't had to.

Duckett played 4 Tests before 2022 and was basically hopeless in spinning conditions.

I feel like CW is regressing to about 2004 with some of the asinine back and forth "chat". Just with fewer uses of "lol" in posts and a distinct lack of @lord_of_darkness


Use the post reaction tools, FFS.

Haha

It's gonna be a close call whether we catch up with the great Sir Brian Charles Lara.

Anyway hello to Matthew Hayden.

 

[CartyDurham]

Hello.
If I had my way these threads would expand even more

Only joking

 

[ataraxia]

Looks like this is by far the longest match thread CW has ever had. The buzz is so good, particularly with the increased England presence.

sad

This post was seriously so good.

This post was seriously so good.

That's just because you are spooked by his other posts.
