I meant in the match

 

[GIMH]

Stuart Broad a fan of FCA

 

[ashley bach]

Overheads are good news for WI. Think they are expected to stick around.

totally different conditions now, ball hooping all over the place. windies would love bowling to eng today

You guys watching different games?

Yeah I meant the overheads are expected to stick around which would be good news for WI.

Wood probably bowls 85mph today and picks up 3 wickets

 

[CartyDurham]

like that forward defence and run after it there by Joseph

 

[wpdavid]

Stuart Broad a fan of FCA

FCA?

Anyway, it's not strictly relevant but this time last week I had breakfast in the pub that Broad jointly owns with Harry Gurney. No sign of the great man, unfortunately.


EDIT
Perhaps FCA means First Chance Average? There aren't many of us nowadays who were here when Richard was pushing that one.

 

[Aritro]

Da Silva has the technique of someone who is batting with a spade

 

[CartyDurham]

I think that was the first byes error by Smith

I'm never a fan of that sort of thing, but the BBC commentary reckon it shot along the ground.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Someone to point out that it's a shame England can't call on at ATG swing bowler in 5, 4, 3, 2 ........

*Gestures at Woakes*

 

[CartyDurham]

Strange one but eventually Joseph walks

definite little edge bottom corner of the bat

 

[wpdavid]

*Gestures at Woakes*

And right on cue. I was about to say that Stokes should replace him before this over, which is just one of the reasons why he's captaining the side and I'm at home typing this stuff,

It did and was really a tough one

I’m liking Smith though. Very little flash stuff just competent wicket keeping

this will lead to him dropping a dolly

And he’s on a hat trick

That was a good ball which may have got a top order player out

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

 

[CartyDurham]

S Joseph walks down the wicket to keep that hat trick ball out

well played

 

[Son Of Coco]

If it’s any consolation. A 3rd XI side I umpired a couple of weeks back took 3 hours 45 mins to bowl 50. Captain changed the field every ****ing ball

Why was Alastair Cook playing 3rd XI cricket?

 

[King Kane]

Woakes on a hat trick.

Thankfully sanity prevailed and he didn't get one.

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

Slip cordon reminiscent of Headingley 2000 when Caddick was doing his 4 wickets in an over spell.
