Crikey, have Sri Lanka had a flutter on losing this one because they have been dreadful this morning?
They looked half decent first couple of days.
Great knock by Smith looks a very good pick.

The lad who took that one handed catch whilst holding his beer is apparently from Cheadle 😊

The bowler we just called up averages 3 and 62 red ball cricket and not the way around you’d want it.
Yet you fully expect him to come into the side and do well if given the chance.

5 years ago today😳 Fabulous game and innings from Stokes Great effort by Leach too. If we’d ended up winning the Ashes that innings would have probably overwritten Botham’s Headingley 81 which was made all the more special by Willis’s 2nd innings effort.

Local cricket match in Derby yesterday which has made the news all round the world this morning according to local radio😳 Am feeling a bit envious. I once made 6 off 28 overs opening the batting in a schools match and a couple of years later 6 n.o. off 25 overs but even I managed to accidentally run the odd ball down to long/fine leg off my pads. I think the batsman here was more Tavare than Boycott. Never miss an opportunity to post the photo of Statto from Fantasy Football bringing out a stool for Tavare.

Vibrant morning at the home of the most overrated venue in Test Match Cricket.
Dan Lawrence proving he's very much what we all thought again.

Pope as the vice captain is odd to me. He's the one in our current batting line up who's the most susceptible for a dropping in my eyes.

Post by prestwichpotter on Aug 29, 2024 11:46:53 GMT
I'm just not a fan of Pope if I'm honest, he's had a couple of monster scores against Ireland and most notably his 196 v India but his average against Australia is really poor and he just seems to make the same errors over and over without learning from them.
He'll keep his place in Pakistan only by virtue of being vice captain......

We’ve done well to pull this back because the pitch is as flat as a pancake. There’s been some really poor shots today.
350 is an absolute minimum on this deck.

I think that will change next year against an ageing Aussie attack. I’m feeling strangely confident about that series. If we can get our bowlers fit we should be a lot more competitive over there this time.

What a century by Atkinson, well done son!
You just know a test player when you see one sometimes, they don't necessarily have to be THE best player but it's in their attitude and mentality they are always aggressive and on the front foot. Atkinson is one of them.......

Very well done to Atkinson.
Let's be honest, Sri Lanka are dire aren't they. Its a real shame that the disparity between test nations is becoming so significant. Not helped whatsoever by woeful scheduling and franchise cricket.

Dan Lawrence isn’t very good…… He’s a crap opener and only a slightly better middle order batsman. If there’s one area for improvement for this side it’s the openers
