Smith bowling, someone check his pockets

Crowd are certainly amused. ‘He’s got sandpaper in his hands’

As usual not a test quality player. either as a batsman or bowler.. Disastrous morning, we are in trouble having to bat 4th with a very slender 1st innings lead.

You are the TSB of England cricket.

What do Moeen's bowling stats look like?

374 all out, will Anderson bowl?

 

[Luke93]

90 lead. Advantage England.

Can't see it. Looked as if he could barely run. Unless that was a cunning plan!

Why didn't Jimmy have a runner?

Here's a question for you to ponder, as you enjoy your Saturday afternoon cricket - does BG know more about football or cricket?

You can't use them anymore in international cricket. Been like that for a few years now I think

No.

Easily answered football

Unbelievable umpires

 

[BensGrandad]

IMHO a led of 90 is not sufficient to cause them problems.

Unbelievable umpires

Broad wasn’t sure either (and he ALWAYS thinks it’s out).......slightly less of a crap decision than some of the others

Eh ? What exactly does that mean ?

To answer the earlier question, that confirms it’s definitely not cricket.

 

[The Wizard]

Yeah fair point, I couldn’t believe the umpire didn’t give it out at first glance looked absolutely blatant but as you say Broad looked unsure and confused as well, strange one as looked absolutely blatant from every other angle.

And I know the age of batsman ‘walking’ has gone but IMO that’s a disgrace not walking there.
