rjw63 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Windies 71/3 Good start with the ball. Watch them score 500 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 82-5 That Leach/Mahmood stand could be massive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early days, but can't afford to waste the new ball here. Needs to be on it properly. I'd get Mahmoud on quick if he has another duff over Well, he got better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 25, 2022 Moderator Share Posted March 25, 2022 If we bat today, can we send Leach and Mahmoud out to open please? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 25, 2022 Moderator Share Posted March 25, 2022 This is a really good, if peculiar, test match. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 26, 2022 Moderator Share Posted March 26, 2022 The lead is now 50+ and in context that's a decent lead - if England are still batting at the end of today and getting on for a hundred ahead then we could have a great finish to things in prospect.

OutByEaster? Posted March 26, 2022 Moderator Share Posted March 26, 2022 Of course, the way things are going, the lead they have could end up being about 150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Terrible shit from England this. How many overs have the last couple of batsmen faced? We'll be 4 down before we're level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 26, 2022 Moderator Share Posted March 26, 2022 They've gone from 95-6 to 270-9. Their tail have now faced 55 overs and scored 175 runs. We were 67-7 and finished 204. There's something really strange about the pitch, the ball, the way things change during the day and over the course of the test - it's just not normal this.

OutByEaster? Posted March 26, 2022 Moderator Share Posted March 26, 2022 The way this game is going, if we can get even with the Windies for the loss of say, seven wickets, then we should be able to build a lead of around 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 26, 2022 Moderator Share Posted March 26, 2022 Sadly this is now looking like a series winning total and an amazing innings by Da Silva for his century. Sorry Joe, time's up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 26, 2022 Moderator Share Posted March 26, 2022 That's fantastic, finally out after scoring his hundred - he reviewed it as the players were walking off, more in hope than anything, he'd accepted he was out - all the players off the field, Da Silva in the crowd getting slaps on the back - decision reviewed, no bat on it - not out! Everyone back to the middle then lads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 26, 2022 Moderator Share Posted March 26, 2022 2,3,4 and 5 have scored 17 between them in this innings - and in the last innings. Absolute garbage that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute garbage that. I saw another stat that the first innings was the first time since 1951 that numbers 2 to 7 scored single figures and they could potentially do it twice in the same match Well they've managed to avoid it thankfully Edited March 26, 2022 by sharkyvilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 The England opener reminds me of a Monty Python sketch I saw a few nights back, where the England batsmen had been in for three days and were 0 for 0. Turns out one of the batsmen was dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 26, 2022 Moderator Share Posted March 26, 2022 Right then, that's the chaff out of the way, let the batting masterclass commence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted March 26, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 26, 2022 Hopefully we can make them bat again. 5 runs with 4 wickets remaining is a tall order but with a little luck and a fair wind we might just make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Lee's looks well in, so he'll want one to slip just as he's about to hit 50. Woakes has just got to stay at the crease and support, then stay sensible with the tail, as he now knows he can trust them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
