[Cricket] Cricket- England tour of Pakistan- October 2024

[Eeyore]

Well, as if somehow to say a limp sorry for stealing August from us devotees, there is another month of cricket as the Test team head to Pakistan.

It doesn't seem like long ago that we were there. December 2022. A series in which Bazball actually worked, results happened, and the matches were very exciting.

Coverage of the First Test begins on Monday morning. Sky Sports WILL be showing it as they agreed a late deal. Clever brinkmanship, perhaps. I'm not sure who is covering it on the wireless, but you should be able to get it from somewhere in the world in these modern times.

Looking forward to seeing NSC cricket chums in here for debate, disagreement, despair, disdain and delight. Often all in the same over.

Could be a long old day this

Just dragged myself away from the telly, realised I was in danger of spending most of the day watching. Dog is relieved.

 

[crodonilson]

Badly missing Josh Hull.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Winter tour starting a week after the Championship has finished. Feels a little odd

 

[studio150]

556 all out with the pitch looking flat.

And with the catch to take the last wicket Duckett looks to have damaged his thumb, so assume won't be opening.

England to follow on, as the ball now turns and finds bounce.

I thought Smith's stumping attempt was so village. I genuinely think that some of us would have taken that comfortably.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Pope gone for a duck.

These ads are a pain in the neck. I wish Lord Gower could imbue a little more dripping sarcasm as he reads the sponsors messages. Or go the full Frasier and refuse to have any part of it. Tapal tea my arse.

 

[crodonilson]

Fascinating days play, for all Pakistan's dominance and eagerness to end 19 years of hurt at home to England, the visitors have dug in really well at the end.

 

[Seagull on the Hill]

Roooooooot, England's GOAT.

 

[nicko31]

Joe Root I salute you sir

 

[A1X]

Catchin’ Sachin

 

[The Fits]

A fantastic achievement.

 

[CHAPPERS]

If all the pitches are like this on the tour he could be 2nd ever in a few weeks.
