[Cricket] *** Official thread: England v Ireland, First (and only) Test Match, Lord's ***

[mikeyjh]

This is not even a county standard attack and it looks like England have gone in with that on their minds, arrogant cluckers...

Effing Boris in No 10 and now this! What a shit day.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Nearly backed Murtagh for best 1st innings bowler at 7/2 earlier, which is annoying.

 

[A1X]

Well the first part is sadly accurate. Not quite as easy as predicting a Sussex collapse, but still, worryingly, I don't think anyone is ultra-surprised.

It seems not even Chris Woakes can save us now.

Another review... not given... but Ireland are confident...

Broad nicked it... and declined to walk.

Where is Henry to announce yet another calypso collapso

Turning into a dark day for multiple reasons

Just the sort of behaviour befitting of the day Boris Johnson takes office.

You OK hun?

Oh dear

Nine down... Curran gone flicking to short leg.

SM Curran c McCollum b Rankin 18 (16b 2x4 0x6)

67-9 (20.1 overs)

Have you ever seen anything like this?

 

[studio150]

67/9

 

[blue-shifted]

So you're saying that instead of playing Roy and Denly, we should have played the test quality top order batsmen who've been flaying the bowling in County Cricket?

So, back to square one. Roy is still not suitable as a test opener and Denly isn’t a number 3.

 

[Marxo]

I just woke up and looked at the score, I think I'm fully awake now.

 

[Mackenzie]

Well one thing for sure, there are no Sussex batsmen who could improve the team!

England are shocking at Lords.

 

[A1X]

Seeing loads of England fans really unhappy about this. Yeah if you've got a ticket for Day 4 then be angry, but otherwise this is ****ing hilarious.

 

[Titanic]

England 81-9 (22 overs), on the stroke of lunch on the first day.

Stone 15* Leach 1*

What an extraordinary performance... 22 overs in two hours

 

[vegster]

Can we start again?

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Can we start again?

Yes, after we've bowled Ireland out.
