Isn't it Kabir Ali?

No. Kabir is Moeen’s cousin.

I'm clearly rubbish at this game as well...

The last one was a big ask, given that his first class career to date, runs to 4 matches for Loughborough against county sides.

He is Charl Malan

Playing cricket in the FAR NORTH in AUGUST is a triumph of hope over expectation. You hope it won't rain but you can expect it will.

What's wrong with the Arsegas Bowel?

So stupid why oh why test matches in Manchester, ****ing idiots

Could do with another spell like this from Broad today.

Five years ago today he destroyed the Aussies

 

[Mellotron]

Callum Atherton
Jayden Hussain
Raheem DeFreitas
Kai Flintoff

One of those has got to be right just through the law of averages.

Here we go then. Hopefully a full days play today. Couple of quick wickets would be rather useful....

They do have two wrist spinners though. Our weakness against spin is such they could possibly declare both innings now and still win the game.

What weakness against spin?

5 down now. Slow but sure, shame about the time lost yesterday but suppose it means a 5 day Test!

I see Shadab is now batting. Wouldn't it be wonderful if his surname was Yourface?
