    **Official** County Cricket 2016

    Having all the international players back will be brilliant. Notts only lost the two games so I suppose you'd have to fancy them with Hales back. Wouldn't surprise me if they didn't pick Broad. Yorkshi*e should be a lot stronger with Bairstow and Root. Stokes being back would be a big bonus.

    *Official* Pakistan in England and Ireland 2016

    Yep, as I mentioned earlier it is basically cheating. Pakistan only have four bowlers and are deliberately cheating everyone out of 10 overs to minimise the damage. This is England's cashing in session really. If they don't give it away they'll be near 350 by close.

    More rubbish.

    *Official* Pakistan in England and Ireland 2016

    Yep. Basically cheating really. Oh we've only got 3 seamers and leggie. Lets bowl our overs so slow it doesn't matter. Meanwhile of course England are thinking... lets get out so quickly it doesn't matter.

    What the **** is wrong with these morons. Freebie number 4 that would have been.

    No they should bat better. Overhead conditions can come at any time during the match. A good batting performance and England are 100-1 at lunch. An average one and they're 90-2. Three Mickey Mouse/rank shite dismissals and one good ball and you have this situation.

    Inevitable if you keep gifting Pakistan chances that they'll bowl the odd good delivery. You either put your foot on their throat, be ruthless and give them nothing, end up trouncing them. Or you do what England have done in two of the three Tests already, **** about, drop catches, donate...

    England ruthless as usual. Absolute shite

    The Stokes and Woakes Thread

    I think it's nigh on impossible to look at a pitch and say 4 seamers is going to be a waste. It may end up going that way, but to make that call before the toss is very difficult. I honestly think Broad should be left out if it is a bunsen and you only want 3 seamers. Yes Broad is a bit better...

    That seems to have been the recurring theme before each Test.

    Durham hitting back after that epic throwaway against Somerset. Would be nice to have a proper pitch for Finals Day so Wood and others can show some skills, but expect it'll be the usual anti-cricket slow rubbish. Suppose there may even be an outside chance Stokes will be made available.

    Looks like England would provisionally take the number 1 Test ranking if they win the last match, regardless of what Australia do. The sad thing is India would take it off England if they win 3-0 in West Indies (ie the remaining two Tests).

    I don't have a problem with the conservative declaration in the Test just gone. Ultimately England are the home side, the favourites, they've no reason at all to give Pakistan a reasonable shot at winning, particularly the sort of enigmatic team they are. England just bowled really well today...

    Yep England's brain trust at it again. Got 9 wickets bowling one way, lets bowl short rubbish at the two rank tailenders.

    Root just got out with an atrocious, horribly low percentage shot, so now Vince thinks yep I'll play the same shot.

    It's just as well they don't have music in Test cricket, because the ECB would be forking out an awful lot of royalties towards The Wizard of Oz and If Only I Had a Brain.

    To be fair all those ha'pennies and farthings will weigh a fair bit. So that wouldn't help things.

    Disgraceful effort from Durham. Game was there on a plate and they've spectacularly managed to throw it away in the manner you'd expect of some soft-arse pea-heart London team.
