In between reading Tom Fordyce's execellent piece on Kevin Pietersen and his left-arm kryptonite, searching for drumkits for seven-year-olds and wondering whether it's possible to hear your arteries clog up while eating the bodyweight of the said seven-year-old in thick-cut, ridge-based crisps, we have 55 overs of cricket to play. Yes, 55 overs. Fifty-five overs of the most pointless Test cricket you will ever see. Keep me sane people...
:lol:
Hes been ripped on the BBC
He's the reason England won. Would never have happened had he not said that.Quote:

More shenanigans concerning Pakistan.
Afridi has been suspended by the board for his comments on them.
Afridi has since retired from Internationals but has said he will play again if a new board comes in
England batted first
3 quick wickets went. Strauss, Trott and KP and they were 20 odd for 3
Cook and Bell have rebuilt somewhat
118-3
Cook has another 50, Bell on 47
Bell gone
132-4
England were 342-6 at the close
368-6 atm
Prior in the 80s
Broad gets his 50. :bow:
And Prior gets his century.
:scarf:
410-7, Broad goes.
414-8 , Swann goes. :lol:
Might as well just 'B' the way to the end of the innings now :bow:
It'll have to be up to Tremlett. Prior is bowled on 126.
England all out for 486.
SL 66-0
Parsajdhksjdhaksjdh was dropped by Cook. Very easy as well. Bring Colly back
The west Indians playing India in twenty20 on the red button cripps. 48-3 India, worlds best batsman kohli is gone and had thus ended my interest in the game.
India struggle to 159 off their 20 overs.
More interestingly SL 137-0. Dilshan races to a lucky 80* off 92 balls...and just as I type that, Prior drops Dilshan. Swann bowling well.
231-1 at the close.
India won by 16 runs
Strength in depth in their squad :bow:
This is where the four-bowlers-limit England seem to want to set themselves with could come back to haunt them. If your top-liners know that in both innings they're going to have to turn their arms for a good 30-overs a piece..that's gonna leave a mark. Not sure which one of the batsmen you'd drop (well, I know who I'd like to drop...), but the current setup just looks a bit uneven for a full test series.
Slip-catching masterclass with the commentary team on now. Glad that Nick Knight has been promoted to the test-team, an excellent commentator and analyst. If only it could have been at the expense of Bumble...
And now KP Is called upon for a trundler or two. QED.
284-1 currently
Sangakkara goes - good stuff from Tremlett again. He knows how to use the Lords' slope
Dilshan is getting closer to his 200 though.
Sri Lanka are 344-2 at lunch.
Beefy isn't happy. :lol:
A piece about Burnley now on Club Life. :d
I agree. Always liked Nick Knight. He was a better player than his international stats suggested. A bit like Graeme Hick in that sense.Quote:

Rain stops play
They came back out after an early tea and now bad light stops play and yes the floodlights are on :doh:
Boycott :bow:Quote:
BBC Test Match Special's Geoff Boycott
"I do feel that sometimes we don't think enough of the public. They pay a lot of money to come here and they see the floodlights come on and then the players go off - so what's the point of having floodlights on? We've all batted in poor light, but that's the luck of the draw, that's why there's a toss at the start and we should just get on with it."
372-3 at the close
Rain and bad light disrupted play after tea
Rain delays the start of play
Pitch inspection at half 11
Looks like a draw
Jayawardena gone for 49
394-4
More importantly, WI v India ODI on Sky Sports 2 at 2pm
394-5
Yoss gone
WI win the toss and bat.
New look India team for their first ODI match since the final.
No Sachin, Zaheer, Dhoni, Sehwag, Yuvraj and a couple more.
Raina captains the side
2 wides in the first 3 balls from Kumar and a boundary off the 4th.
Not a good start
