dAVe80 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 What are people making of this final test then? I'm a bit disappointed that we seem to be happy to try and get the draw. However I am also very disheartened that a lot of people seem to be getting on the debutantes backs. Boycott in particular has narked me with his continuing jibes at Woakes. Yes we all know he's not quite there yet, but give the lad a chance FFS! Really hope he makes a score tomorrow, and shows the doubters wrong.

Cliffy Biro Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Test cricket can be dulle at times but today was something else, england obviously lost the toss and were set a score that meant we were never really going to win so we're going for the draw. Meant to be some rain about tomorrow so i wouldnt be surprised if we got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Boycott is a national embarrassment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggy_333 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Can't stand Boycott. Vile man who thinks cause he used to play the game he can say what he likes about anybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I know it's England, but with two Warwickshire lads in, I've found myself shouting "YOOOUUU BEEEAAAARRRSSS", every run closer they get to doing this! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFCDAN Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 What a bunch of arseholes. Needed England to win for a £100 return from a bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Oh well 3-0 it is! Can now feel smug and quote my pre-series prediction. Any predictions for the Ashes series in England? I think the weather will play its part, so gonna go for 3-0 England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Cook and a few others need to up their game for November otherwise it will be closer to a loss next time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 And they wonder why people prefer the shorter games? The decisions during this series have baffled me almost as much as the decision making from Cook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) And they wonder why people prefer the shorter games? Don't really agree with this. Test cricket is still the pinnacle of the sport. Disappointing finish yes, but we've still seen some great cricket. Edited August 25, 2013 by dAVe80 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 I prefer Test to the shorter versions, I actually find 20/20 a bit bland. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully agree, I love test cricket and prefer it 100% to any other format, but there are people who think otherwise and it is justified in a way when bullshit like this happens. 4 overs? **** off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I let out a few swears when they came off too, but bad light, like bad weather is part of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
