England v Pakistan 2nd Test, Headingley

[dixonsafc]

59 overs, was not expecting that after standing the garden crying about the drizzle this morning.

Hardly a classic day of cricket, but interesting for both bat and ball.

Off out for a curry now to soak up the shite lager.

I'm in the Buttler type of cricketer camp. Unless we've got 7 proper test match batsmen, he's always worth a gamble (or Hales/Roy).

 

[Silly Point]

Bopara on The Debate still going on about that Yorkshire Essex game in April (nice to see the ground staff doing some work unlike when we were there). Probably saved you from another thrashing like at "Fortress Chelmsford" eh?

Looking a decent decision to recall Buttler

Should keep wicket. Bairsrow needed as a top order batsmen more than for his keeping skills IMO.

Don't disagree

Anyone going down today? Setting off shortly.

Looks like possible showers this afternoon...

Nice run filled start. Amir looks injured too.

Surprised he gave that. Soft signal not out, nothing 100% conclusive to say it hadn't touched the ground.
Probably the right decision

 

[Steak Pie]

I'm actually pleased that was given out. Not for Curran, I mean in general for the game of cricket. Could have easily bottled that decision.

@Cridge ?

Hope Buttler starts to unleash some T20 shots, half an hour of JB could end this contest

What happens to your average if you're not out?

It goes up.

 

[LD19SAFC]

Well played Buttler!

 

[Ch1982]

Who's the lady commentator with Bumble?

 

[TopCat]

What happens to your average if you're not out?

It improves it.

Say I bat 3 times:

0
30*
70*

My average would be 100

Sounds like Alison Mitchell.

Struggling to see the logic behind that

Buttler’s making the red ball moaners look a bit silly here.
