Test Cricket is SO boring, can we have more 20/20?

Yeah, 'cos every single test is like this one

To be fair, most of the 'Bazball' era tests HAVE been!

There‘s the lads’s legs, flag, scarf and towel in the top left. He’s owned that bit of real estate for all 5 days.

Indeed, hence me staying up to watch. Lots of test matches are great, but test cricket also has more than it's fair share of boring matches. And unlike other sports, a boring match isn't over within a couple of hours, it drags on for days.

Today we could have won this without breaking sweat, but Stokes had a word with Root and told him to run Harry out. Root thought he was joking but Ben reminded him they're not there to win, they're there to entertain, and jeopardy was required.

Like the towel. That extra bit of effort was worth it.

Feel sorry for Matt Henry. I know what that's like. Sometimes it passes quickly, but it's normally a few hours.

Not feeling so well , so she has gone to bed, I'm busy putting all the lights out downstairs, ahem....

So he'll feel alright in a few hours, and until then can have a massage and watch some cricket. Nothing to feel sorry for.

Are you trying to do it with a snuffer?

 

[Triggaaar]

A runner would be useful

 

[LamieRobertson]

Less than three figures now

I feel sorry for anyone that happens to. It's f***ing painful.

No, but it'd be useful

This is why Test Cricket is the best format, we are all staying up way past our bedtimes on the Fifth day because either side could win...
