Eng vs India - First Test - 20th-24th June

[Hongkongphooey]

Doing well so far, just need to hang around until the ball gets softer and then unleash hell

 

[Nasser Butt-Head]

Indeed, but most of our better seamers are currently in rehab mode. I’m not sure India have better than they’re currently fielding.


They should’ve made it free entry. Typical Yorkshiremen trying to promote £20 as ‘value’, thinking you’re doing people a favour.

When we we're quoted £160-200 for the first day or two. £20 does seem like tremendous value tbh. Considering the state of the game. I'd love to be there. Jealous of whoever is!

 

[Darlo1973]

Morning meetings over. Time for some cricket.

 

[Nasser Butt-Head]

What I’d give for a an opening batsman like cook.


ECB deserve it by refusing to come up here

Surprised at the attendance. Comms say 8 thousand tickets have been sold. Doesn't look half that.

If the match was taking place at CLS how many of us would go? I'd stick a sicky in definitely lol.

They mentioned on commentary shortly after I made that statement that 8,000 tickets had been sold.

Shows how out of touch with the common man I am

In not saying it would be full but it would be double this crowd imo. 8k

 

[Ghfd]

Steady away to date

71 for 0

India have had the better bowling conditions this match imo

 

[Raymondo]

We’ve got to 76-0 without really trying anything daft, they’ve barely had a sniff of a wicket, yet Duckett has tried that stupid scoop twice and nearly got into bother.

Just put it away!

Exactly.

 

[Ghfd]

Beautiful pull by ducky behind square to leg

Just wondering , what is the highest opening partnership these two have put on ?

81 for 0 off 21

Whisper it quietly but these two have done the hard job of seeing the shine and Bumrah off.

No need for them to get carried away just yet. More of the same please!

Edit. Very mature 50 from Duckett, apart from a couple of swipes. I like it.

Crawley is edging towards his 31 though so it won’t last long.

 

[Dexter]

Ridiculous this trying to get the ball changed every over.

 

[Ghfd]

Ducky 50

Trumpeter playing he’s a Duckett man

That's the spirit! Lol

 

[PitYacker]

Pack it in whinging about the ball

 

[mackembhoy]

Looks absolutely shite being pretty much empty

ECB are greedy bastards guarantee London 2 tests as year and then fleece everyone everywhere else.

 

[Dexter]

And again man! Just get on with it.

 

[SAFC11]

Need to bring in a rule about begging for a ball change. It's just annoying and I feel the same when its England. Just get on with it

 

[Ghfd]

I posted earlier about the odds last evening being 9/4 England India 6/5

England are now 4/6 India 13/5

I took both of the above last night as I can’t see a tie and if weather allows a win for either is on and guaranteed profit
