Second Test - England v West Indies (Old Trafford)

[The Truth]

Archer in cricket.

Moise Kean, Kyle Walker, Nicolas Pepe, lacazette, Douglas Costa, Oumar Niasse in football.

Whst is wrong with these people.

All in the wrong but none are as bad as Novak Djokovic though

Jofra, you absolute tit.

It's going to be another wasted day off isn't it...

The obvious thing would be to take lunch at 12, then start play at 1240 and play through with a break for tea somewhere

But of course, cricket being cricket we will start play at 1245 and break for lunch at 1300 as normal

Covers are coming off so looking like a 12.40 start.

This is what frustrates me so much. 1240 start and probably a 1340 lunch (at best)
Take lunch at 12 man. Let's get this game on

12.30 start and 1.30 lunch. Ffs

Decent batting line up with Bess coming in a 10

Burns, Sibley, Crawley, Root(c), Stokes, Pope, Buttler(w), Woakes, Curran, Bess, Broad

Assuming it's the expected 3 that get the nod

Yep longer tail than at Southampton for sure.

 

[Thunder Road]

Why have lunch at 1.30?

Cricket doesn't help itself

 

[wayne entwhistle no9]

They don't even have the corporate Waller's there who are there for a slap up meal and p#ss up to keep happy. Just crack on!

 

[Ghfd]

This play will be added onto the next four days, when the weather looks clear.

 

[TopCat]

What we saying then? Win toss and bowl?

Expect us to be 4 down at lunch then

 

[Jack Torrance]

Looks like it might be another good toss to lose

 

[Eggman]

Yep longer tail than at Southampton for sure.

Eh ? How do you work that out ?

Bess was 8 at Southampton and now he’s 10

 

[Brett]

What time is the toss?

 

[TopCat]

What time is the toss?

12 I'd imagine. if we are starting at 1230

Eh ? How do you work that out ?

Bess was 8 at Southampton and now he’s 10

Think he means a longer batting line up/shorter tail
