• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

That seemed an obvious one to review. It looked out, the bowler was convinced and India had all three reviews intact.

Anyway, as you were.
 
State of this pitch now, won't just be our spinners to try win it, Jimmy's pace on the cracks will mean plenty of low bounces.
 
Typical of England to start chirping about Root's dismissal, if it had been Rohit Sharma giving out in those circumstances they would have been fine with DRS.

They need to realise they tossed away the chance of a win by batting badly second innings and bowling too full on a turning pitch when India chased what should have been a tricky total on that pitch...

Exactly, there's no mention how many "Umpires Call" went their way with India's lbw decisions in their 1st innings.
Plus - even with Root's excellent ton, he had a DRS call go in his favour - the ball struck his pad, when he didn't play a stroke. The replay showed his pad was an "Ant's Cock" outside the line of the off stump.

Their collapse of 80/7, left them with a mountain to climb - plus Ollie Robinson never looks fit, and his attitude on the field looks sh1te.

I fear for England's young spin bowlers, when they start the new cricket season. Bashir has Jack Leach in front of him at Somerset, and Hartley has to get past Nathan Lyon at Lancashire!!

I fear for England’s young spin bowlers because the domestic season in the U.K. is so messed up they’ll be expected to play all their first class cricket in spring and early autumn when the conditions only favour seamers. Still, The Hundred eh. Prime summer slot.
 
They'll never do it, but for me it's all about the Ashes. Build for that no matter how painful and slow it could be.
 
5th Test ...

Wood in for Robinson ...

1 Zak Crawley, 2 Ben Duckett, 3 Ollie Pope, 4 Joe Root, 5 Jonny Bairstow, 6 Ben Stokes (capt), 7 Ben Foakes (wk), 8 Tom Hartley, 9 Mark Wood, 10 James Anderson, 11 Shoaib Bashir.
 
This has to be the world’s most stunning cricket venue. Queenstown and Cape Town will run it close, but I think this tops the lot.
