2nd test Old Trafford

[chopsfc007]

Both openers are struggling. You wanna throw two newbies to Test cricket in against this attack?

Or go back to someone we know isn't the future

I haven’t been on here for a while and keep it steady as you go to close ofplsy.
As a matter of small interest I was wondering what Carty had for tea.
As for me I had chicken burger and some hash brows.
Nowt fancy

Pizza and chips at around 130pm. The pic is on the thread but I’ll retrieve it

He gets better every game he isn't in the team

Yes. He’s just better than those tried before him and those playing now.

Landmark innings this. Three down and he is still there

Haaland city v Dortmund

Any idea who Newcastle got in the European Cup The way the local media and fans go on they must be a knocking bet to win it

I can now understand your lack of tea time replenishment.
Was it all solely for you? Did the dog get owt?

Batted Zak lad

That was more like a test match after tea at last

I’m bloody starving too.

You'd struggle to eat all of it during a T20 game

Crawley..Well impressed...sorta innings we need

 

[Monument View]

Close of play without further loss
Well done

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

10 up for Crawley

If Crawley scored 50 in 6 hours I'd be ower the moon tbh.

[Liverpool Beachball]

Palace at home

No idea how Crawley survived that

Showed a bit of character, that to date, I didn’t think he had. The challenge now is getting to lunch tomorrow and we will be well in for this match

Moti Raj into the attack

Haway man.

 

[Voice of fair play]

I do get that point....Great when it comes off.
But
do you think they take into account conditions?..The bowling attack?, all the other peripheries that surround the game?
I honestly don't.... "Go for it, to hell in a handcart" I find simply stupid....Chasing 143?..Just take singles, nowt daft, play the day out, play the next one out, even the first session of the 3rd day...Then you have the option of playing the daft stuff.....if it comes off...you have won, if it doesn't....you probably still win...Its nonsense to me this...F.ookin' baseball with a touch of blind mans bluff

Like I said mate it’s a question of balance between the two.

We lost 1 in 17 tests been far to timid, openers at times were not even rotating the strike.

It you just get bogged down just simply looking to bat time, you neither score runs then eventually get out.

And all you done is bat time with no runs putting pressure on next batsman.

But of course you need to assess conditions and game situation at that current time
