England v India - Third Test, 10/07

[Inside Forward]

f***ing pathetic.

 

[Ghfd]

I'd rather pick Zak Starkey than Zak Crawley.

I’d rather Jack than fleetwood Mac

A jammy dodger to anyone who gets who sang that

 

[Aidan11]

FFS Pope is not comfortable out there.

 

[rentaghost]

Should have bowled first

 

[Durham-Mackem41]

Pope is such a bad starter.

The Reynolds Girls.

 

[Ongo Baglogian]

Does Crawley get a disproportionate amount of good balls or is he just garbage?

 

[Ghfd]

Field when we should have batted. Bat when we should have fielded.

Class

This was a batting day though. We have incompetent openers and number 3 is the real problem

 

[Raymondo]

Crawley got a good ball.

He did, but once again he’s prodding down a line outside off stump that he doesn’t need to play.

 

[Dadsarmy73]

I'd rather pick Zak Starkey than Zak Crawley.

Probably do better even if he was using his drumstick as a bat

 

[Ghfd]

The Reynolds Girls.

Pm your address and your prize will arrive

And you can tell the auld gits getting that one

 

[Raymondo]

Does Crawley get a disproportionate amount of good balls or is he just garbage?

I’d say 95% of his dismissals are his own fault, so make your own mind up.

 

[Voice of fair play]

I don’t actually think you are y’know, not nowadays - most cricket lovers are coming round to this idea I reckon, plus I think the players themselves would just rather get on with the cricket than having to pander to the ‘members’ and play along with the pageantry.



Absolutely right. Another example of ECB stupidity.

The Rose Bowl is probably the one ground in England WORSE than Lords and it’s getting an Ashes Test. Absolute joke.

Yeah when I brought up this subject before most have said it good to have this tradition, personally think no need at all.

Seems on occasions its a get together for certain members of society rather than cricket fans

And don’t get me started on the ticket prices

 

[mackembhoy]

Pope is the most jittery player I've ever seen until he gets in.

 

[Ghfd]

Does Crawley get a disproportionate amount of good balls or is he just garbage?

Garbage

And I’m not having we should have bowled mind anyone

This is a bat first pitch in anyone’s money

Incompetent batting is the real problem but that’s not going to change so this is how things will be until any of them are injured

 

[TheRey]

@TheRey you went 40 odd for 3 iirc ?

50-3 I think

 

[Scotty 1978]

Mark Wood on comms is completely insufferable and a jinx

Think he’s canny on commentary, his accent his very strong bit more than usual

 

[dangermows]

That's a great delivery to get rid of Crawley, which would've been praised plenty in here if it was us taking the wicket.

 

[Ghfd]

.

Reddy is bowling sub 80 mph here

To be unable to see him off is incompetent batting

 

[rentaghost]

I’d say 95% of his dismissals are his own fault, so make your own mind up.

95% of all dismissals are the batsman's fault. There is almost always something a batsman could have done to avoid being out.
