did he do it again? I saw the interview with him (yesterday, was it?), when he said he wouldn't, and assumed that was the case ...

He did it this test, yes. And he did it last season too

We need to fix our top order. Hughes in at 3, Watson down to 4, Clarke back at 5 where he averages much more, and Smith at 6 where he's a natural - can play a recovery innings, or score fast runs. The South Africans won't be as forgiving to top order collapses as the Poms were.

I dont have to.

No, you don't. The alternative is to discredit everything you say whilst winning.

You're not a fan, you just like winning teams. Anyone can do that. It's a wonder you haven't jumped off Chelsea on to some other club - Chelsea aren't winning much lately. I'd also suggest after the World Cup you won't "care" about football either.

I dont think I am, I watched religiously when we kept getting thrashed by warne and mcgrath. i would watch the game if i was able to, but being here and not having internet, i cant. but just because i can watch england lose doesnt mean i want to read you abusing us for it.

We didn't really get abusive until we noticed you weren't responding. If you go through the thread, you'll notice that Mus and I posted throughout the series in England which we lost...

One for the country, Robert!

Then again, this one's not as spontaneous...

Used to play cricket when I was like 7 haha... Never again

So I witnessed Craig Simmonds' 100 in 39 balls today in person - it was pretty damn enjoyable, 8 sixes and 8 fours

 

[leungtl]

He was seeing that ball like a double cheeseburger.

 

[Alex]

Yeah, couldn't believe how well he was hitting it. Even when he was caught, he timed the ball so well

 

[Alex]

Wow

 

[Alex]

England have found another way to lose. Faulkner amazing.

 

[rique]

A cricket thread???? Wow...West Indies are an embarrassment...I'll be back in 2249 when West Indies have a great team again...

 

[Alex]

Do people still follow it there? From what I've heard the Caribbean kids no longer care, so they all grow up playing basketball?

You should include Bermuda in the West Indies team, the more that join in and help out, the better.

 

[Mus]

Yeah, couldn't believe how well he was hitting it. Even when he was caught, he timed the ball so well

I'd say like 80% of his strokes were straight out of the middle of the bat

and as for Faulkner I'm starting to feel kinda bad for Cook

So first time our tail failed us. The game was entertaining nonetheless
