Haha, qualidy.Just had a coffee in Earlsdon with a couple of friends, Australian guy in his 60’s on the next table overheard us talking about the cricket and asked for the score. Had a nice chat with him and a bit later asked where he could buy a Cov shirt.
Just before he left, taps me on the shoulder and asks if I know where to buy sandpaper“Not much, just enough to tuck in my pants”
Missing Anderson though and Smith can be notoriously hard to remove.Let them off the hook massively here. No way they should be reaching 200 when they were 122-8.
That's a hell of an innings from Smith in any circumstances but first test back and with wickets tumbling at the other end makes it even more impressive.
Just think it needs to be appreciated for what it was, a great display of batsmanship by smith and a tail ender. That’s what makes a great player that can rescue a dismal display into a half decent chase totalI think the Aussies will win this test now.
When they were around 120/8 we had a chance to get them out cheaply, but with England's ability to collapse I think Australia will take a first innings lead here.
We paid the price with having only 3 front line bowlers and two all rounders - there was a real case to play archer and leave Denly or burns out
Yep. It was. I would tip my hat to him, but I don't like him enough.Just think it needs to be appreciated for what it was, a great display of batsmanship by smith and a tail ender. That’s what makes a great player that can rescue a dismal display into a half decent chase total
It's where they hide their drugs.What's that little pile of sand for behind the wickets?

Nope, it's for the footmarks. Sometimes bowlers tend to slip in the footmarks they have made, as the pitch gets worn.
If someone has to come in and bat for a short amount of time at the end of the day they sometimes send in a non-batsmen whose job it is to just stay in until close of play.Also, a night's watchmen???

The idea is to not risk one of your main batters and have them ready to go the next day.
He has to be out (bowled/LWB/caught/run out) before we could put a more orthadox batsman in. However, this isn't always a matter of just seeing out the innings in the evening and then being out immediately the following day. Just last week we played Ireland and deployed a nightswatchman (Leach) who went on to score 92.Would the nights batsman then have to be bowled out or can the team pull him off at any time?
