The summer of Test cricket thread

[Niigata Jack]

Ball is spinning like a top apparently, 6 wickets for 59 runs, looking very likely that they won't bat out their overs, dear me 202 for 2 at one stage, 261 for 8 now.

Boy did I fuck that up

Like you did in Bristol back in 2004!
She took you back though

 

[Niigata Jack]

I think this is rather appropriate

Well its lashing down here now!

Here comes the rain. They should have done the same as the one day cup final last week and reduced it to 20 a side before the start to get a result. Not allowed in international cricket apparently. They’d rather have no result. Because cricket is terminally stupid.

And now they’ll take the scheduled 45 minute break between innings to give the rain time to arrive properly.

Bring him back, legend

England did well to get that to 309 after going 8 down. I don’t think I will need to rush back from the footy in order to catch the back end.

Twenty overs a side would have generated a winner by now.

7pm is the cut off time apparently.

Countryfile it is then ...

And there ends another summer of cricket. See you for the 2025 thread chaps. But before that we’ve got test tours to Pakistan and New Zealand to look forward to. The Pakistan tour still doesn’t have a U.K. broadcaster with the first test a little over a week away.

Next summer should be as cracking as this year’s was low key. Five tests against India, one against Zimbabwe and the WTC final at Lord’s.

Tidy thread mush, will miss it
