Is this “look at me. Pathetic” stuff an in joke between you lads or is @The Voice Of Reason being a twat. Just wondering like

Just an SMB phrase.

They have been trying to stop the band though. Which is pathetic.

That's been an ongoing thing across the SMB as long as I've been posting

Usually when someone is off somewhere abroad or doing something nice. Yet still having a moan at something or boasting about being there.

That's a shocker of a review

Pope looks some player

I didn't reckon him when he first came on the scene at Surrey. Shows what a clueless berk I am

Don’t feel bad pal

I’ve always thought you were a clueless berk

He's going to be quite special I think.

Feeling more optimistic about English batting than I have for a while. Would just like to see Crawley and Sibley get a big score (another in Sibley's case) to get Denly out the team for the Ashes and we are sorted.

By then Pope may be up at four and Root down at five. Stokes is currently better than both, but I'd like to see him at six again when Pope settles because he can play every type of innings and that, at six, is exactly what you want.

Looking long term, if all goes well...

Burns
Sibley
Crawley
Root
Pope
Stokes
Buttler/Foakes


That'd be a very decent top seven IMO

Similar pattern to Newlands: most batsmen playing themselves in without kicking on.

Well this is the partnership that makes or breaks it really
Cricket doesn't help itself.

Why are they finishing now? Why not play till 4?

Just because the over rate has been good, why not get more play when theres daylight.

Evens stevens at stumps

England's day for me. Pitch looked like it got easier to bat on, but it's gonna be a fucker later on - get up to around 350 and we're well in control.

Long live the Pope

 

[Temp0101]

Still England's day...just

 

[Ghfd]

Any idea of the score?

 

[NorthCountryBoy]

Was looking like a horrific test match pitch but good for the game that they started creating pressure in sessions 2 and 3.

 

[LD19SAFC]

Good chance to kick on in the morning with Stokes and Pope set. Vital first session

 

[The Voice Of Reason]

Strong first session tomorrow put us in a good position
