We could give credit to our bowlers getting 5 wickets this early in the game on a good wicket

But against pretty woeful opposition.

In this day and age if your looking for a day out at a test match would you really gamble on booking travel and accommodation for day three?

Dreadful review

But against pretty woeful opposition.

From 76-0 after losing the toss on a good wicket with the sun out and conditions batter friendly it’s a good effort to be where we are now and credit to us

 

[scotch]

He won’t catch Sachin but he’ll definitely finish second on the list by the time he finishes.

Depends on form and drive that he has, 37 tests would put him right there I feel.

100 runs every test is a big ask though. He’ll surely have some drops in form as he gets older.

Think I read that his current average is 87 or 88 runs a test, keep that up and he'd be 700 runs short, that a nice farewell summer tour

Bit of a boring scrunt Ian Bishop, isn’t he.

W.Indies bats 2-5 have 9 tests between them at the beginning of the series, none in England!
I'm the bad cop.

If it was against the windies, Sri Lanka or Bangladesh probably not. If it was against anyone else then aye.

You are when I post something

 

[Parkside]

You are when I post something

Just keeping you right.Mentoring.

 

[Dexter]

Not sure why we’ve gone to the short stuff so early? These two still haven’t reached 30 yet we’re bowling at them as if they’ve been out there for hours.

 

[Voice of fair play]

Just keeping you right.Mentoring.

Well yeah think you older than me just

 

[mackembhoy]

A Scotland debutant called Michael English has hit a century today against Namibia.

He's from Paisley too, bet they are a popular family

 

[Scotty 1978]

Those two have batted well this afternoon too be fair

 

[Parkside]

Well yeah think you older than me just

Considerably older, I suspect.
But do you see my concern? We knock over the rookies at 2-5 but the experienced batters are untroubled

Well yeah up to a point, but like I say that to be expected to a certain extent on the first day of test match in favourable batting conditions.

The amount of test matches you will have watched on first days and good conditions for batting you will have seen many times
