dogmc Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Well that's a pleasing result. Was that young spinner playing, lad that gave England a bit of a roasting? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Well that's a pleasing result. Was that young spinner playing, lad that gave England a bit of a roasting? Mehidy Hasan Miraz is probably the bowler you're thinking of. He took 3/62 in 1st innings then 2/80 in the 2nd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmothecat2 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 West Indies get their first test win in five years and Bangladesh their first test win against Australia ever in the space of 24 hours. That's got to be good for test cricket. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defo.....it keeps getting written off but aside from the issues that are routinely and correctly highlighted here its still captivating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 England go with an unchanged 11 for the final Windies test, has to be Westley's last chance. Ottis Gibson is leaving to take over as South Africa head coach after this test. Jason Gillespie is the early favourite to replace him as the fast bowling coach. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well deserved promotion for Gibson and Gillespie would be quite a coup for England 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Well, it could be a terrorist incident. Or it could just be someone being a c**t. I suppose it could be someone who had a spread bet on how many runs in the innings! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it could be someone who had a spread bet on how many runs in the innings! Of course it could be. But surely after ten mins or so - you come to the conclusion that's it's some lone weirdo. I'm fine with them coming off the pitch and having the surrounding area searched a bit. But pretty soon you realise that it's not an ongoing threat. I can't see why the game was abandoned. It's not like it's a known terrorist strategy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Cort's Hamstring Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 To be honest, firing a single crossbow bolt into a ground during a County Championship match is about as far from a mass casualty attack as it's possible to get. You could probably have fired artillery into the stands and not hit anyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could probably have fired artillery into the stands and not hit anyone. It hit the far more densely populated part of the ground, the pitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Shame it didn't happen at Lancashire so Warwickshire could have scraped an undeserved draw.Might have to start taking archers to games with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 So Notts won the T20 finals day. As skipper Dan Christian was about to be awarded the trophy the rest of the team started spraying the champagne, in her hurry to gtf off the stage the woman presenting him the trophy fucked him in the eye with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
