The summer of Test cricket thread

[Cooperman]

Bad light stops play so an excellent little piece on Jimmy Anderson; a montage of his 1st, 100th, 200th…. 700th wicket.

A machine.

I wouldn’t make plans to travel if you’ve got tickets for the last day.

Was expecting a bit more from the Windies after beating the Aussies in their own backyard last March. Hopefully, it was just a bad day at the office.

Conditions very much with England for first three hours. Not many of theirs will have played in that environment before.

At least it looks like going to a third day (which I will also conveniently spend working from home ).

Highlights on BBC 2 just finished but sorry West Indies a spent force , Sir Viv and Clive must be appalled .Reading most of the youngsters in the Caribbean Islands follow USA sports now .

Sad state of affairs when franchise cricket takes the the bigger picture over Test Match games .

For all their efforts Vaughn and Braithwaith were trying to big it up , Jimmy Anderson etc .

Will not be bothered to check the result later , no interest .

For the old duffers like me 198 Long Wave on my transistor radio and TMS was cricket .

And there it is. Farewell Jimmy, legend forever.

Glamorgan would beat this West Indies side. Sad to see.
