OutByEaster? Posted March 22, 2018 Moderator Share Posted March 22, 2018 We're underway against the Kiwis - a somewhat tentative start as we've set up at a one run an over pace with Cook having already had a couple of jittery moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 22, 2018 Moderator Share Posted March 22, 2018 Make that a terrible start 6-2 with Cook and Root gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 22, 2018 Moderator Share Posted March 22, 2018 16-3 no one in double figures yet - it's hard to lose a Test match in the first hour but we're giving it a really good go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted March 22, 2018 Moderator Share Posted March 22, 2018 18-5. It's getting comic. Boult has four wickets for seven runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 22, 2018 Moderator Share Posted March 22, 2018 18-6. Time to dig out the record books - we've been batting for 50 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 22, 2018 Moderator Share Posted March 22, 2018 45 is our lowest ever. ......and we're 23-7 and not looking like we're going to make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 22, 2018 Moderator Share Posted March 22, 2018 23-8. Apparently the lowest ever test total for any side ever is 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 22, 2018 Moderator Share Posted March 22, 2018 31-9 and needing 14 more to avoid our worst total in 130 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted March 22, 2018 Moderator Share Posted March 22, 2018 Up to 40-9 - if these two can put on another 200 we'll be in with a shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 22, 2018 Moderator Share Posted March 22, 2018 We've done it - an heroic 26 from Overton including a six has put us ahead of our worst ever score. It's also proved that there's nothing wrong with this pitch for batsmen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 22, 2018 Moderator Share Posted March 22, 2018 All out for 58 in an hour and thirty four minutes. Christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDuck Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I've only been "watching" it via scoreboard updates online. I'm guessing the ball was swinging like mad and it's now settled down, which doesn't bode well for us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Probably karma for my post about cricket being a game for people with decent attention spans and intelligence yesterday, as our players keep displaying neither. Embarrassing dogturd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 **** disgraceful. Baylis has done **** all for our test side. I worry that garbage like this is just indicative of a lack of interest in proper batting anymore. The short form rules as do short attention spans. Sure there was good bowling in there but what a total waste of everyone's time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said it was moving around a little but it wasn't anything that should have been hugely troubling. They said that Mo just missed a slow, straight full toss. Seems like OBE was right earlier. You can't lose a game in the opening hour but perhaps you can in the opening 94 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 Jesus **** Christ. They didn't even need to bring on a third bowler. Unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
