England v New Zealand (2nd test)

[TravellingMackem]

It's wasn't 2 overs it was 60 games

Bracey wishes he’d faced 12 balls so far

 

[Rufus T Firefly]

Just what is it with our lot and wide deliveries? I get and generally agree with the comments made here about too much criticism but some players really don't help themselves at times.

Still, the crowd don't seem to mind. Possibly some not too aware of events lucky sods.

Because he's shite

But I'd agree with him over Bracey.

My point being that it's 'choix de Hobson', really. These guys look terrible.

Needs suppressing.

Canny atmosphere mind

Call me an old fart but I don't go to the cricket to sing football songs. I'd usually be having my post-tea nap around now.

 

[TopCat]

Bracey has in the last couple of years as well.

he has looked dreadful so far of course

Rabbit in the headlights. His reaction to getting out has been pretty poor too - doubled over in disappointment

 

[Concordsafc]

250 the target for me now, think that’s achievable here I hope anyway!

 

[TopCat]

Lawrence might as well smash it. This tail isn't going to be hanging around
No.8 averaging 15 in County cricket

 

[Parkside]

swing low hasn't been banned. also that was a slave song

It was banned by a group of activists who attempted to get it banned from being sung at Rugby matches. If anything it's about freedom from slavery but in the rugby context it's sung in tribute to Martin Offiah. It's a rugby anthem just as Jerusalem is a cricket anthem.

All of Englands wickets so far are caught behind where not one of the dismissal balls would have troubled the stumps

I'm far from an expert but that stinks of shite game management

I wonder if there was a comment implied in the choruses of 'football's coming home'?

I'd be surprised (pleasantly) if we got anywhere near 250 now.

Aye, but Surrey make a fortune out of them at the Oval test each year.

Target though we can hope pal !

Honestly mate, with this line up we'd be lucky to win a couple of Tests against Ireland.

They would be lucky not to lose against a Hansie Cronje side after a generous declaration .
