They'll have had one ready to go for him, same as Anderson tbf. Made easier for Broad too because they've just done a few around the 600th wicket etc ....i'm pissed
broad wtf?
Sky must have had an idea a montage doesn't get made in 10 minutes.
I asked to merge the broad appreciation thread with one @Aidan11 did on the smb
but someone’s whipped it off the cricket forum and merged it other way around

Edit - just seen @Morny 's post
Likely wouldn't have played for the best part of a year, wouldn't expect him to play in India.
50/50 Sky or Strictly I reckon

The umpires have the authority to get a grip.
41.9.2 If either umpire considers that the progress of an over is unnecessarily slow, or time is being wasted in any other way, by the captain of the fielding side or by any other fielder, at the first instance the umpire concerned shall
- if the ball is in play, call and signal Dead ball.
- inform the other umpire of what has occurred.
The bowler's end umpire shall then
- warn the captain of the fielding side, indicating that this is a first and final warning.
- inform the batters of what has occurred.
41.9.3 If either umpire considers that there is any further waste of time in that innings by any fielder, the umpire concerned shall
if the ball is in play, call and signal Dead ball. inform the other umpire of what has occurred.
The bowler's end umpire shall then
either if the waste of time is not during an over, award 5 Penalty runs to the batting side and inform the captain of the fielding side of the reason for this action
or if the waste of time is during the course of an over, direct the captain of the fielding side to suspend the bowler immediately from bowling.

It’s sorted now?
Yes eventually.
I think he might be involved in the hundred. Jimmy is but I think an appearance on Strictly will arrive eventually

80 overs in the day is ridiculous mind

When 25% of those were bowled by a spinner its worse than rediculous. This has creeped in over the years as I cannot recall slow over rates being an issue back in the day, I am getting on so talking about the days when all the home tests were on the BBC live.

Cricket is f***ing stupid mind.
You must be logged on to see media items
i'd be tempted to play 1 ball and declare or just before they go out.

Jimmys so close to 700 and passing Warne, i can see him playing next year then calling it quits without Broad by his side

We have to bat on in the morning. Let Broad and Anderson have their moment.
Even just for the laugh it will be worth it.

Just looked at the weather forecast for tomorrow, it's not that great. But we still have 2 days so it shouldn't be an Old Trafford style washout.

You have to factor in the crim's time wasting tactics too.
I have already said that each session should be 30 overs, no set time for lunch and tea breaks until the overs have been bowled and the last session should be completed light permitting, hunger might wake a few players up! Tough if the players have a restaurant reservations booked! Something has to be done to make sure that the paying public get moneys worth, not every day is going to have nearly 400 runs and 9 wickets!

They need to start and fine the players more, deduct more points and go further and introduce penalty runs. As I keep saying the current "sanctions" aren't enough and at the very least they should be made to stay out until at least the daily allowance is bowled. Fans ripped off

I do remember them being a big issue with the West Indies in the late 70s and early 80s - Richie Benaud used to kick off
