That was definitely not arse!! Superb delivery, good luck playing that.

Forgot Chumbuwumba were from Burnley. This Pakistani DJ is clearly a fan.

Jamal got knocked down by Carse.

Noman Ali is definitely not a no.10

To me, 8-11 should always be decided by their current career batting average. If you get your career average above that of the number 9, you get a promotion till the number 10 overtakes you again.

Well that doesn't work. Years ago we used to bat Hoggard above Harmison and Jones as Hoggy had a solid defence and could play for the better bat at the other end instead of slogging and getting out. The other two were far more likely to get runs but Hoggy could hang around and be nuisance value.

Good example, though even Hoggy's blocking regressed by the end and he found himself back at 11

I mean it's no different to the constant laithwaites wine adverts.

Just the sponsors in Pakistan don't have English resources so have to do them during the play. Cheaper to get the guys already on comms than paying Stuart Broad to do an equally cringe advert that can be replayed all summer long.

 

[Groundking]

I really do wish we'd just target the stumps more.

 

[ataraxia]

Noman is a worse test cricketer than Zahid Mahmood. No man.

Broad's acting made Cook's acting look like Daniel Day Lewis

I'm sure I asked this last time too and have forgotten the answer.

But how come he's Noman on the scorecard and Naman on the back of his shirt?

Well now he's out man.

 

[Molehill]

Having watched that inept fielding performance by the women yesterday, I was half expecting Carse to drop that.

 

[BazBall21]

"A little bit of luck" on the Sky advert there. Absolute banger.

Well he was Nauman for a long while, so...

Yes that was it last time!

Perhaps that what's on his shirt not Naman.

If it is Naman then I'm utterly baffled at how his name can be 3 different variations.
