[Titanic]

Tea, Day One

England 100-0 (30 overs, RR 3.33)

Zak Crawley 57* (99 balls, 10 fours) Dom Sibley 39* (83 balls, 6 fours)

 

[pasty]

Wow, first 100 opening partnership since Dec 2016!

 

[Eeyore]

A century opening partnership. I think I remember those.

I wonder when the last time both openers got 50 in a partnership was.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Root's form should markedly improve now we have openers happy to see off 50 overs or so without doing anything too silly.

 

[The Wizard]

Stupid way for Sibley to get out.

 

[pasty]

Sibley gone

Dom Sibley c †de Kock b Hendricks 44

107/1

 

[Pavilionaire]

The Adverbs doing a terrific job at the top of the order. I love you Crawley, Sibley, Denly.

A century opening partnership. I think I remember those.

I hope you're proud of yourself

A century opening partnership. I think I remember those.

I wonder when the last time both openers got 50 in a partnership was.

I was going to guess it was the last time we had a 100 opening stand back in Dec 2016 against India, but that's not right. Cook was out for 49 in that one.

 

[The Wizard]

Crawley gone as well, here we go.

 

[Badger]

Here come the wheels.

 

[Pevenseagull]

add a couple of wickets to the score.


then maybe add another couple

 

[Pavilionaire]

Hundred and twenny-tew for tew.

 

[A1X]

Denly dropped on 4

Shame Crawley couldn't kick on to three figures. Would surely have been the first time ever, that England batsman have made their maiden Test centuries, in three successive Tests?

 

[The Wizard]

Denly going for it, been quite fortunate so far

 

[Pevenseagull]

Shame Crawley couldn't kick on to three figures. Would surely have been the first time ever, that England batsman have made their maiden Test centuries, in three successive Tests?

[The Wizard]
