Beauty from Trott

 

[Titanic]

and now the Barmy Army are singing the FDM's song!

 

[Blackadder]

What score are we likely to declare at? 500?

Not while JT is still in.

Trott and Swann are going for it now. We could amass a fair few runs before lunch.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I don't get it.

Johnson runs in from wide, bowls from very wide on the crease, has an arm almost horizontal at the point of delivery. Why does he not get it that this may make him bowl all over the place?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

First chorus of God Save Your Queen of the day

 

[Titanic]

... long to reign over YOU, God save YOUR Queen!

 

[Blackadder]

and now the Barmy Army are singing the FDM's song!

Yep. The beers are starting to kick in!

 

[Titanic]

Yahoooo!

 

[pasty]

I almost want us to get out now. I cannot wait for us to start bowling.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Swann, Swann will tear you apart, again....

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Johnson can bowl like a collosus or an out of control garden hose.

 

[16bha]

I almost want us to get out now. I cannot wait for us to start bowling.

We'll just wait for Swann's century then call it a day.

 

[SirElliotBennett]

we should declare at the next wicket, don't want our opening bowlers getting tired whilst batting.

 

[The Wizard]

Yes Swanny

 

[Titanic]

This is LOVELY!

This Johnson over also gone for 10, already... and the lead over 400!
