Music too loud and sa pants.

It is really bad to see what the South African cricket team has become.

 

Shame Leicestershire aren't rich as we'd probably have a few World Class players over here.

Dunno the ones playing for you are alright. 

 

The Irishman, Kiwi and Barbadian coming along nicely too. 

 

Gotta love the England cricket team. The last remaining sport where being born "somewhere in the Empire" basically gets you in the team.

Everybody is English.under God's Rainbow...just a few foreigners,

Who can't be bothered to drive on the correct side....

Think today is going to officially seal it, with a fortnight of dead rubbers to come, at this rate. Fvck this format.

[Goober]

The cream rises to the top in this format but **** me it’s going to make it boring from here on 

[walkerleeds]

100% cheering on Sri Lanka tomorrow and hoping they beat South Africa next week to make it remotely interesting.

Australia winning the toss effectively killed off any sight of a Bangladesh win today. On that wicket a high total was going to be expected especially at a ground with fairly short boundaries (look at the totals England have got at Trent Bridge recently). 

 

Hope Bangladesh can make it relatively entertaining in the chase but can't see them getting a win at all. Starc and Cummins will enjoy the pace coming off the wicket for the 2nd innings I think.

Game on?

Nah. 

 

Bangladesh just lost another wicket. 

 

Big ask for them to do it from here.

Rab Douglas fielding for the Aussies?

I've quite enjoyed listening to England games en route home from work, I don't think I'll be doing so today as it stands.

all due respect to James Vince, hes had enough chances at international level and hes not taking them,

rather they bring Hales back into the squad and open with JB than Vince(until Roy's back fit)

[Voll Blau]

Baffling that we keep going back to him like he's our extremely good-looking ex who ultimately keeps letting us down.

We can be quite a nervous people.

[EastAnglianFox]
