Right  now  I'm  celebrating  the  fact  that  I  didn't  get  SKY  so  I  could  watch ( so  very  nearly  said  enjoy yell)  the  England  v West Indies  test  cricket.  After  all  the  wonderful  reports  of  how  the  team  is  building  up  into  a  World  Beating  Side  it  seems  that  it's  just  another  race  to  the  pits.  I'm  getting  the  feeling  that  watching  Sunday  football  between  a  couple  of  over age  pub  teams  will  bring  much  more  excitement  &  pleasure  until  Easter Egg  Rolling  commences  wink

Would that be the same Aussies who were just bowled out for their lowest score for 144 years by Bangladesh? 

I see that England were saved by the weather again, oh and a fighting century by the only test match standard batsman in the team, ( I can’t bring myself to call them “ batters”)

Hows this for a statistic . Root scores  109 from  172 balls, Sibley scores 28 from 133 balls. There lies  the problem.

I read a report of an interview with the England batting coach who said that the likes of Sibley, Crawley and Lawrence were good players because he had seen them in practice 

All I can say to that is look at any number of club golfers take a practice swing you’ll se some wonderful swings. Then watch them when they’ve got a ball in front of them and you’ll see some truly horrible swings.

I rest my case🤓

Careful what you do with your case Roger !!  Anderson OUT, Broad Out, Stokes OUT, Archer OUT , Stone OUT, Woakes OUT . . . . . . . . and I've just strained my right hand getting mi crikit bag out of the shed.    What a state to be in after having just been docked points & pounds for a slow over rate by the Match Referee  ( Young Broad's Father no less undecided )

Thank 'Evans that  Young Anderson decided he was fit enough to play --  would have been a right sad mess without him !

Surely it's time his name appeared in the New Years Honours list? How many more occasions will the Burnley Express come to In-ger-lands' rescue?

Had a phone call from the Pharmacy Head Office saying that my latest prescription was ready at 15.35 today --  Before I collected it I should have checked that they had included something extremely efficient for a bad side !! 

Absolutely APPALLING  SO THERE !!

Not apologising for shouting ~~ think yourselves lucky that I've not used stronger language 'cos Brian is utterly LIVID !

Utterly Appalled at the goings on at Owd Trafford over the last 24 hours.  It would appear that certain players & back-up-staff have found a way to get  1 )  out of their commitment  to play 5 Test Matches  in England this year     2 )  get back home to prepare for the I P L !

The ONE saving grace I find in this whole sorry shambles is that Jonny Bairstow will not be  "Dropped" from the England team for this, the game that many don't want  { excepting the money-paying FANS , naturally }

 

I think now that I ought to refrain from commenting any more on certain parts of this forum, purely for my own welfare { Steaming / smoking socks are doing A B M  no favours at all }
