Next winter, up for it.

All I need is our maud to agree.

 

Last time I did it was 25 yrs ago.

 

C'mon love lets do it.

Can DeVilliers replicate Stokes innings? Guess that will be the benchmark.

Never seen anything like this

Test match cricket is dead, isn't it?

 

 

Been watching the big bash - have I missed anything?

Seeing the BWFC badge on Sky coverage seconds before Stokes reached 200 made it more enjoyable.

22 test matches later, Bairstow finds a track flat enough.

 

Good knock, but given how long he gets in the team without runs, I suspect this innings means Buttler is waiting for 2017 for another crack at Tests

Buttler's fault for not getting the runs!!

His bad year was matching Bairstow's entire career. If you're going to drop him for that, drop him for someone else who might be better.

Could Bairstow open with Cook and get Buttler in???

Leave it as it is, I say. Seems like a good, young balanced test squad we've got. Don't forget we won the Ashes even with Adam Lyth in it.

This is hilarious.

This is hilarious.

It is. And this lot will be batting to save the game from ball 1.

Time to go and see me mum

Not hopeful that this week's drop of de Villiers will be as cheap as last week's

Forgot all about the football. Out of this world. Doubt if Stokes will ever better that

How does this game unfold?

 

S Africa bat well, reaching 500, laving 2 days. England declare setting S Africa 425.

 

Step up Moeen again?

i don't think theyll avoid the follow on

 

whether cook enforces will depend on the pitch by late tomorrow

Struggling today. need to break this partnership. Root's drop yesterday could be massive.

Anderson repaid the mistake this morning when Root was bowling to Amla.

Pitch the winner

Not seen that. bloody twats.

We put 3 catches down today. What a shitter!

Carried on dropping them today

They reckon it's a bad ground for catching. Saffers put a few down too.

Fuck me

 

Surely not?
