Solanki? Bah. Play Jones, for heaven's sake.

 

[Barney Rubble]

True - much more could be read into it if that team faced the Aussies. They probably know Solanki won't bat, so they've got him there for his good fielding. Didn't think of that.

 

[superkingdave]

[superkingdave]

Hmm

Hmm

That's a classic.

As I speak they go off for rain. Hope it doesn't last long.

 

[Pedro Delgado]

Near-perfect conditions for ducks. See what I did there?

Genius...

Not bad start from Bangers in what can only be described as minging conditions.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Genius...

Not bad start from Bangers in what can only be described as minging conditions.

I can just imagine the Bangers coming off the field:

Iqbal: "Ay oop, Tushar, it's bloody mingin' out therr"
Imran: "Eh, calm down Nafees, calm down"
Bashar: "Well done boyos, great start like"
Mashud: "Aye, nae problems oot thar laddies"
