It’s ok mate, I’ll smooth things over when I get home a bit later, but it seems as though both sets of supporters are typically sooking hard. The victim complex runs deep in them both.

Seems to like Bairstow.

Are you sure? Beyond a couple of usual blow-in comments, just seems to be English pessimism, Shri and normal posting.
I never moaned. My original post was actually pretty chill.
Nice attempt at backtracking though after making yourself look like an idiot

Just seems awfully snippy given that nothing has really happened yet.

Tbf to KP, in his latter years in the team he genuinely seemed to like, and be like, by the young guys - Root, Bairstow, Stokes etc. Not James Taylor mind you

Brook is better than Pope against spin. Not convinced by Pope at 3. Record there takes a heavy padding from the Ireland double hundred.

Looks a good pitch tbh. Enough turn to keep the spinners interested, bounce for the seamers and the SG ball always swings and reverse swings and does something off the seam unlike the Kookaburra and batsmen getting good value for their shots.

Nothing has happened seems understated for 100-3 on the first morning
(I know what you mean haha)

If there's one player who would be truly regretful he couldn't play in the current team it would be him. Would have been absolutely tailor made to his strengths

Yeah should have said ‘otherwise normal’ but I said what I said and we all have to deal with it

missed the whole terrorism discussion? was a battle of CW's finest minds.

Oh yeah but nothing before the match starts actually counts. Unless it was still being discussed in the first hour. I was asleep then. Which also doesn’t count as there’s no England thread worth a squirt of piss if I’m not in posting in it

New Kookaburra seems better tbf. I heard they changed their processes a few years back and whatever they've done seems to have worked, the ball seems to be staying a lot harder for longer in the last two or three summers.

I think they did but in general, the hand stitched seam tends to be more prominent, which is why Ash was a big fan of the Dukes IIRC. SG also has a hand stitched seam. Remains pretty prominent even with a very old ball. So you can get swing and reverse if you have those skills but there is always a chance the ball will do something when it hits the seam even when its old.
