England Cricket

Well at least I will be spending Sunday On my knees, praying but FOR rain this time !!

An appalling performance by in the main, a fully deserving team sitting at the bottom of the World Test Match Table or so I believe 

Indeed , had the squad any principles then they would have declared before close of play. That would have given WI a simple few runs to get today thus allowing the teams as well as the pitch, a Days rest before England get laughed off the islands.

  And England ( Woakes ) 9th wicket has gone to a sparkling catch at Leg Slip  117 -- 9

and almost followed by Leach --  near miss

15:58  ## It's over, it's over,  IT'S OVERRRRR  !

Leach has { allegedly } nicked one and that's our lot as well as Root's !!.

Now It's a case for  the bowlers to say their good-byes

We may never see their like again.

 ALL OVER 

England not so much beaten as HUMILIATED !!

T'would be fitting if this thread was locked now  --  well it is Mothering Sunday.

1. I hope you are still on your knees Brian , 'cause  lord help us when the kiwis come knocking this summer.😭😭.

Trellis,  I've been close to tears many a time over sport in it's many forms but I've just heard the giving of awards etc for the W I Tour & if they as thoroughly defeated players cannot apologise then, sadly, there is no hope for 'em at all.

Even the captain, on whose shoulders it all sits, could not see where it has gone wrong then surely by next week-end the E & W Cricket Board must bite the bullet very hard.

Now What Are The Odds On  THAT  ??

That’s a thought Brian but I detect a flaw, we don’t have anyone who fits the description of “batsman” lower down the order.

My fat finger mistyped “order” and got “ dire” that’s spooky 👻👻

The only thing the vast majority of this team should be awarded is their P 45's.., or loss of central contract....

With Respect,

    May I be permitted to remind the Gentlemen Respondents { and Ladies as well if indeed there be some on this thread }, of the Original Posting which started this whole thread back in January 2019.  Some things never change, do they  

Brian, I have just re-read your original post . Wise words my friend..😀 . I have been called many things in the past , don't recall Gentleman being one of them .😁😁.
