England v India - Third Test, 10/07

[Mr.Thunders]

What's with all the ructions hew? The cricket forum is usually chilled other than when *won't say anymore for fear of bannings*

 

[Parkside]

It’s interesting as it favours a touring team. England wouldn’t have a spare keeper hanging around

Retired BobTaylor called from the crowd to sub in a test match.
Believe he was in a bookies tent as advisor.

 

[Dexter]

Really good this from England since the openers went. Obviously we’re not taking the game away from India as we normally would having batted for 40 overs only two wickets down, but nice to see some proper application, particularly from Pope.

 

[SuperSub]

Half hour until lunch and only 42 overs in the day have been bowled, surely they can play beyond 6:30 if they continue to be this far behind

absolute joke how slow it’s going. Trying to get the ball changed every over ffs.

Reminds me of some if the tedious stoppages when we were in League One.
Never had to change the ball years ago.

There could be a limit on how many times you can ask the umpire to change the ball and put it through the rings, something similar like 3 times an innings like you have with reviews.

I come to the cricket to get away from the trolling pile ons you get on PF (which have kept me awake at night before).

The SMB never used to take itself too seriously years ago but now people will just poke at everything you say.

 

[Eggman]

How many more times are the TMS team going to say “ring piece” when describing the umpires ball gauge ?

 

[dangermows]

Proper test cricket this.

 

[VenisonsMullet]

Better session. Need to back that up after tea.

Just need Johnners in the background laughing and saying "Oh Aggers, do stop it!"

 

[Inside Forward]

Excellent from these two.

Amazing stat

Root is about to go past Dravid for test runs (in next innings or two). They have pretty much played the same number of innings

Root has faced nearly 23,000 balls. Dravid >31k!

Mad

 

[Raymondo]

Can’t complain at all wicketless session.

Expect our lads to try and force the issue in the last session of the day.

Even more impressive when you consider conditions they played more of their cricket in.

 

[Dexter]

What a knacker.

 

[SAFC11]

Got to be kidding pope

 

[PitYacker]

My stream is slow

Another braindead cricketer in an England shirt.
