theunderstudy Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 If we can get these two then we're almost into the tail. Making them look nice and comfy atm tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted July 22, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 22, 2023 Hmmm. Not a lot happening. Not really had a sniff yet really. Disappointed, was hoping with cloud cover and dampness about it would be very tricky batting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted July 22, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 22, 2023 They seem to be scoring fairly fast as well. If the weather holds up we may end up batting again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wood has to be used sparingly, it’s not a tactic, it’s a necessity and I think England were happy to bat yesterday in the hope that they’d not need to do so again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
