Guest MattP Posted 7 September 2018 Posted 7 September 2018 Proper day's cricket that. All 90 overs in and less than 200 on the board.

I thought we picked the wrong day to go based on the first two sessions Not often you see less than 200 runs in a day! Turned out pretty even given the flurry of wickets in final session. Really thought Cook would go on to get a ton. He looked good yesterday and would have been very fitting if he did carry on.

It was a great days play, we had the old Cook back as well, I thought he was going to get it, aside from the drop never looked in trouble. Did you see Shikhar Dhawan doing his bhangra moves?

Crinklyfox Posted 8 September 2018 Posted 8 September 2018 Looking forward to the battle today. I'm not throwing any bricks at England for the performance yesterday, the Indian bowlers were class all day and how Shami didn't pick up a hatful I'll never know.
Guest MattP Posted 9 September 2018 Posted 9 September 2018 Why on earth are we not taking the new ball here?
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 9 September 2018 Posted 9 September 2018 Surprised the Indian players didn't give Keaton Jennings a guard of honour when he was out, given that it will be his final ever test...
Bobby Hundreds Posted 9 September 2018 Posted 9 September 2018 Jennings has got the lowest average for any opener at home after 18+ innings.
Super_horns Posted 9 September 2018 Posted 9 September 2018 Hope Cook ends with a big score to set up another win - maybe. ECB will probably be begging for him to return in a year's time when we've run out of openers to give a chance to!
cambridgefox Posted 9 September 2018 Posted 9 September 2018 Well played Cook. One more day. good days cricket ?

Yeah a good years rest on the farm,in cows corner,fair share of "duck shooting" (c)rease some fences,close off it's boundaries, Take care no more maidens,have a good spin on his tractor,..make hay,picking up on the overarm...giving it a full toss.cover the bails, get into the swing of ploughing,then slip into the new year,.... Tell them it's not over,throw everyone a googlie,overstep the line, turn and hook,not yet ready for the pillow,hold your end,to once again to leather the willow...once again to have the people gopin' when you open...
Voll Blau Posted 10 September 2018 Author Posted 10 September 2018 Finally got round to seeing yesterday's highlights this morning. Another comical dismissal from Jennings (good ball mind). Boycott had it right on the radio yesterday saying you can't just stick with someone playing so poorly because you're not sure about anyone else. Reckon I'd even rather have Stoneman with Burns over the winter - think I'm right in saying he has a better Test record than Jennings and also plays regularly with Burns. Anyway, hope Cook bows out today with a fitting score.
Bobby Hundreds Posted 10 September 2018 Posted 10 September 2018 Cook scored a 50 in each innings on debut and in his last test. What a guy.
Izzy Posted 10 September 2018 Posted 10 September 2018 Haven’t heard a standing ovation last that long for many years.
