England v Ireland, One Off Test

[Temp0101]

Here we go... this will get the usual suspects back to being miserable again. Back under their comfort blanket of despair. It must have been a tough couple of weeks.

The white Kook on a road versus the red Duke on a green top. Almost two different sports.

Starc will blow these lost away, can see us being 30 for 3 in most innings.

Jesus H 36-3

 

[Scotty 1978]

3 down

 

[TopCat]

30 odd for 3. Pretty standard for England - we are going to get destriyed in the Ashes at this rate

 

[Silly Point]

I'm going to try not to moan too much for the rest of the summer but...

Denly can fuck off

 

[Oli Wagkz]

Going well then.

 

[Temp0101]

Just saying...

Ballance: 4 Test centuries in 23 matches

Westley, Malan, Stoneman, Vince, Dawson, Hameed, Denly, Burns, Ansari, Patel, Duckett, Pope, Hales, Borthwick, Roy: 1 Test century in 88 matches.

But he's not a test number 3, we need openers and a number 3. Roy should be given a chance but Burns is looking increasingly incapable and Denly is a ludicrous choice to bat at number 3 in test cricket. There's not many alternatives out there - I make a strong case for Sibley, but Denly is a lazy and poor selection.

42-4 FFS

 

[Steak Pie]

My word, that was a bad decision.

 

[mackembhoy]

Utterly woeful.

Thank god the Aussies can't bat here either.

 

[BIG BAZ]

After the Lord Mayors show this

 

[mackembhoy]

My word, that was a bad decision.

I just saw the replay and was baffled that it was a review

The stats speak for themselves, I know you dislike the fella but he by-far outscores any other player in the redball game than any other player in the country by a large margin.

Definitely a bowl fist morning. Tweeted it before the Toss.

Lulling the convicts into a false sense of security

Jesus wept.

More deckchairs on the Titanic with our top order. Roy was never the answer, he's middle order batsman in first class cricket.
