Good ball but very dark

BOOOOMMMMMM

Day of England Dominance starts here!

1-154 aint so bad

Isn't that the same disease Muhammad Ali had?

Yep and Michael J Fox

 

[TimAngas]

Well it's more Dean Elgar than the David Warner of old, but this, "I'll work a few around the corner while seeing off the new ball" Warner sure beats the 2019 iteration.

 

[Spark]

Still real tricky out there. Have to shut up shop until tea

 

[Coronis]

Isn't that the same disease Muhammad Ali had?

Yep. Michael J. Fox too =/

 

[Burgey]

Jesus that's grim. Hope CA does something in the summer to honour him, maybe dedicate a game to raising funds for research a la Jane McGrath day

Could tell he was unwell in the summer. Had few appearances on tv compared with past years. Tbh I thought he’d had a stroke.

They’re very sad quotes. What a player he was. And what a leader too

 

[OverratedSanity]

Useful innings from Warner. 25 overs seen out in these conditions is going to end up being really important if conditions get easier for Marnus/Smith. Guy's done a decent job while batting out of character, good stuff imo.

 

[Croadymeister]

1-154 aint so bad

Yep all over

 

[ripper868]

I'm about 5 mile from Lords, can confirm needed kitchen lights for sandwich creation, too dark for pace bowling.

 

[Croadymeister]

Still real tricky out there. Have to shut up shop until tea

What utter rubbish

 

[Burgey]

i have neighbour with parkinsons. needs a full time carer at all times. his wife does a great job but she needs a bypass surgery this month. am helping out with groceries and stuff. not a pretty sight

It’s not helpful to eat their food mate

KP taking the piss out of Ainge

Yeah, impressed with how long he managed to stick it out in difficult conditions.

Certainly justifying the faith the selectors kept in him.

 

[Burgey]

We know how it works. It's caused by a dopamine deficiency. All our treatments (not cures) are dopaminergic compounds.

What causes it though is a bit of a mystery. Mostly genetics and there are theories about environmental factors.

Your face is a dopamine deficiency

 

[ripper868]

Big Ange wanting Besart Berisha to open the bowling.

 

[TheJediBrah]

could have sworn Mel Jones just asked Andrew Strauss if he was an "arsehole man"

Yeah that's for dementia. When they ask where their cookies are you just tell them they ate it already

Or just an arsehole?
