[Cricket] England v Pakistan : 2nd Test

[The Wizard]

They should be setting a result up here IMO. Have us chase 250 in 60 overs or something.

Sibley would still be 12 off 97 balls

Let’s abandon this and get a 20/20 going, what on Earth is the point of starting at 3PM onwards really, teams will probably shake hands on the draw at tea.

Brilliant idea. Do you think those behind cricket could think this creatively!

No.

Play to start at 15.20

Genuinely, what the hell is the point?

 

[CHAPPERS]

Tea at 4pm yeah

They should do underarm bowling and use a giant tennis ball, have a bit of fun.

Zak Crawley would still look like getting out every delivery.

Tea at 4pm yeah

Not a minute later, I'm famished, onlt had 2 1/2 hours for lunch!

Knock up a quick 100 by tea, declare. Bowl them out after tea for 50. Plenty of time to smack around 200 ish and win the match. Easy.

One hand, one bounce. Or, if it's really giant, one ARM, one bounce.

A quick 100 by tea? Ever watched Sibley bat?

I say we send the batsman out with those plastic blue bats that we’ve all had the misfortune of using at some point in our lives, and increase the chance of wickets by using these pop up fielders

So how long does the Ageas Bowl take to dry out then? It says no play until lunch on cricinfo.

TBF, we've had a LOT of rain in the past 24 hrs. Absolutely RODDED down overnight and we had a couple of downpours this morning.

 

[The Wizard]

Can’t see Crawley lasting long, he just looks like a walking wicket at the moment to me.

Hopefully I’m wrong as he needs a confidence boost and he is a talented player.

 

[The Wizard]

Incredible how much more positive our batsman are against spin when it doesn’t matter.

 

[Beach Hut]

105/4

 

[Beach Hut]

England declare, inevitable draw

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

This game has damaged test cricket's [already ailing] reputation - the ICC MUST look / change to see how it can do better - 10am starts, pink balls, whatever, but something has to change ....
