Romey 1878 Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) What a catch from Stokes ! He does it all the time, it's madness. That one he took off Broad against the convicts defied belief. Edited August 6, 2017 by Romey 1878 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 I was there yesterday. Started at 8am on the cider. Had a hangover come 3pm I hate cricket and yesterday only cemented it. The atmosphere though and the good feeling around the place, is well worth a trip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Just proves even cricket possesses players who want to win at all costs. If it's within the rules there shouldn't be any problem. Well done I say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Knew that declaration was a mistake yesterday, we shouldn't have given them a sniff. We're going to lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Knew that declaration was a mistake yesterday, we shouldn't have given them a sniff. We're going to lose. A Windies win is definitely the most likely result. We haven't really looked like getting 10 wickets this innings. Ali very disappointing.

Romey 1878 Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Brathwaite out just before tea, very hard to predict now. It'd take a huge collapse but they are well capable of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 Sometimes I wish I was a gambler, Windies 12/14-1 this morning but I had a gut feeling they'd do it.....having said that if I'd have put some cash on it we'd have smashed them .

MikeO Posted September 7, 2017 Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 That second catch was first slips but Bairstow not giving Cook the chance to drop another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Weird County Championship this year. Although mathematically my team (Surrey) could still be relegated they almost certainly won't be despite only winning one game, all thanks to the batsmen! We have the three highest run-scorers in the division; Kumar Sangakkara, with 1250, Mark Stoneman (959) and Rory Burns (922). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
