[the Ashes] first test Trent Bridge

[TwasOnTheFifthOfMay]

When I played village cricket in the Thirsk league (many years ago) I was trapped lbw on 49, no one appealed apart from an old boy down at third man, the umpire reluctantly raise his finger and I walked.
The old by came to me at tea and said “thee didn’t deserve half of them runs lad so it was best thee were gone”

Nonetheless I take your point

Where's the value in a 50 or ton that they give you on a plate? I wouldn't want it personally, and almost think it's an insult to your opponent to do this. I genuinely would rather have 98 that was earned properly. And be happy with it. Couldn't Agar have been given out on 6 anyway?

In the 2005 series, despite him being the enemy, I was a bit disappointed not to see Warney get his 100 - think he got 99. He was magnificent that series even though we won.

Shambles, f***ing shambles from top to bottom.

Umpiring, bowling and batting. Terrible.

Hahahahahahaha! Yis Finny!

Cook, you're to blame for this. 150+ or fuck off.

 

[dangermows]

Ive took 3-1 so im not arsed

We are slow starters, and will still win the series.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

goes back to my point that England should have fielded first.

 

[TwasOnTheFifthOfMay]

This new boy looks like someone they've called up from the under 16's. That hat is way too big.

If ever words might come back to haunt you...

Bothams arse is twitching he said 5-0 didnt he - going to possibly look very daft

I like Warnies take "always bat"

Bothams arse is twitching he said 5-0 didnt he - going to possibly look very daft

Every time he opens his gob he looks daft. He changed his tune yesterday saying you should never ever underestimate the Aussies.

Ponting 101* great player sad to see him retiring

Who would take 2 runs off him and give them to Agar?

You just know Starc is gonna get KP straight away
