[Cricket] Eng v Ind - 5th Test - Edgbaston kick-off 11am

[Is it PotG?]

Weather looks fresh, possible showers this afternoon (depending on where your weather app says you are).

India leading 2 - 1, but we're on a roll right now and Jimmy is back with skipper Rohit out for the visitors.

GAME ON.

 

[Official Old Man]

Yes, this is being played today.
Tests 1 to 3 took place earlier in the year during Covid testing but more importantly, just prior to the IPL (Indian money machine). It was believed it was more important that the big earning players should leave early so as not to miss out on the money and so test 4 was put on hold until now.

I'm in the Hollies stand today and can report LIVE on all the beer snakes and fights in the post tea session.

India must be kicking themselves they cried off the test last year and now have to play us when we aren't a total shambles

I think we still have a shambles in the locker!

India is one team I like England to beat these days. Possibly because I think the IPL has ruined has ruined the game. It's always on the box. I never watch. They can stick it up their Bumrah.

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

Think kick off is 10:30 for some reason?

I think there was a draw in there as well somewhere? This is the fifth test.

We appear to like chasing 4th innings.

Better to be behind him!!

Billings jogs to the stumps. If he put the effort in there was a run out discounting a direct hit. Odd from the wickie.

Thank goodness for TMS. Stuck in isolation for another 5 days, but have got TMS on youtube, Wimbledon on the TV and TdF starts tonight. Might be a few late nights before I have to go back to work for two days before the next school holidays start.
