August 16, 20178 yr Not sure I like the idea for this country We get decent crowds anyway Who'll turn up for test matches on Friday and Saturday nights? Or Sunday? And, it will get cold for all. Don't get it personally
August 16, 20178 yr Isnt the theory that it's a prep for winter It'll hardly be dark at close of play so I'm with you
August 17, 20178 yr Looking at the crowd for Lancs last night, it was pretty shoddy. The SA test at Lancs looked pretty poorly attended. Seems a tough ask to get folk into the cricket these days. So I guess they're trying something different to see if it works. I guess for the working man, it means half day off work, rather than a full day.
August 17, 20178 yr With this, they could play 3-day Tests on Fri/Sat/Sun or Sat/Sun/Mon with 150 overs a day. Make them work for their money.
August 17, 20178 yr I think there's some hope for the West Indies Their batting can't be anything like their bowing or else this will be a very easy win
August 18, 20178 yr Cook be desperate for this first 300. Its got to be the best chance he's ever had. 61 to go. Hope Captain Root doesn't declare before then.
August 18, 20178 yr Those of a certain age can remember when West Indies were great bit sad to see them now
August 18, 20178 yr Those of a certain age can remember when West Indies were great bit sad to see them now Agree in one respect. But in the other its great for us to be able to trounce them.
August 19, 20178 yr Almost there; an absolute thrapping. Good to see Jesus get his ball back, after significant support from cardinals, bishops and bananas. Once non- men of the cloth got involved the stewards started to get concerned and saw the light.
August 29, 20178 yr Should be a good last day. £10 for adults and free for kids- a good effort that. Pity its not at OT. Might have gone along.
August 29, 20178 yr Im not having it that they are about to beat us! They are fucking dog shit, right? Fair fucks to um, great effort this.
August 29, 20178 yr Obviously not as shit as folk thought, must admit, I thought the likes of Bob Willis was going OTT with his criticism.
August 30, 20178 yr Willis is a bit of a boycott. Old moaning cunt. I'm sure England's players will reflect and think they could have done things better or differently, but the pitch hardly followed the expected pattern and I'm pleased Root set a sporting target. Maybe the experience will stand the team in good stead should a similar situation arise again, with a bit more at stake. (Winning the last test to win the ashes for example).
September 8, 20178 yr Absolutely. What a spectacular wicket for the milestone too. Love seeing the poles splattered.
September 17, 20178 yr That was a bit shit last night. Is Narine a vampire or some thing. They all seemed scared of him.
