Is that 884/4 for the last two innings?

Ryan Harris looks decent in spells. Pull your finger out Robbo... Oh!

 

[Marc]

nice of Collingwood to turn up and play!

 

[Sheebo]

Beautiful viewing again today

I think he was implying the Australian attack (Siddle in that particular instance) might be pie chuckers

If you're going shopping can I have those 2 points you shoplifted from St Mary's back please?

Only playing - you guys have some good Ashes banter and would love to play

You're very welcome.

One of the oddest first NSC posts ever from a non-Albion supporter.

Cricket. Tell us when you're ready for us to start slagging off Hampshire.

Bumble had me choking on my cheese and biscuits there.

Nip out to Sainsbur...oh.

They might take that as a positive at this stage - nice bit of reverse swing there, albeit slightly late

Yes courtesy of reverse swing so even more bad news for the Convicts - I'm sure Anderson et al were interested in that delivery!

Went for a nice bit of Victoria Sponge instead, lovely
