Cricket 2018

Same slip cordon again. Saw it suggested last night the Cook, Malan and Jennings were in there purely based on the fact they won't bowl. That seems ridiculous to me?

 

Anyway, hopefully they've had a little go on the catching cradle since yesterday....

Meat and Drink chase for India this

Imagine thinking this format of the game no longer has legs. This has been an absolutely wonderful test match.

I always think the pitches make the difference, TBH I'd find it hard to watch test series on dead pitches.

One dropped already. FFS. 

[AKCJ]

He absolutely has to be dropped.

 

Abysmal.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Would love a Broad spell now.

I think we'll make a meal of it to be honest

 

 

Yep! As expected...

[Osavo]

Broad on one here. Bowling absolutely brilliantly. 

 

Crowd fired up. This is what test cricket is all about.

Was thinking that myself  

England must love playing at Edgbaston, the atmosphere must make it so difficult for opposition batsmen.

I'm still not so sure because I've seen so many collapses over the years when targets aren't that high

Kholi stays in and you win easy mate.

 

I really enjoyed reading this recent BBC article on him. Fair play to him for rededicating himself to the game and becoming fit as a fiddle.

just hope he doesn't have to rely on possibly not losing partners again. 

 

It's painful watching this knowing that the target isn't that high but we'll still make it difficult for ourselves.

I think Curran gets Kohli before the close

[UpTheLeagueFox]

Curran nips out another wicket 63/4 but Kohli still in

[Voll Blau]

Good thing Bairstow can catch. 

 

Imagine not thinking Test cricket is the very pinnacle of all world sport.

[leicsmac]

Fantastic stuff.

 

Need to nail the star along with the supporting cast, though.

[Guest MattP]

Whatever happens what a test match, nothing comes close to stuff like this. 

 

Might be worth going tomorrow for

£26.

Especially considering it’s only 13 quid if there are under 30 overs.

Long live Test Cricket 

[Corky]

Tremendous match. Test cricket really is superb when it's like this.

[StanSP]

I've got a feeling Kohli gets out early today and then the game is done by lunch time
