1st Test (Leeds) - 20th June

[Silver Silva]

Cricket is a very cruel game

Also he must have been sitting for hours waiting for his chance, then he has to depart after 5 balls , Gill probably wasn't even finished in the shower !

Man this Pant innings sounds entertaining as hell and I’m stuck here just reading about it. Such a joker yet amazingly successful and talented batsman.

4 balls actually.

Pant has lost hit bat. Now his boot. What will he lose next?

 

[silentstriker]

Actually not a great time to get out too. Another wicket here would start a collapse.

450 is fine.

obviously want 550-600 given the start, but it’s fine.

His wicket.

Thankfully the missed stumping wasn't too expensive.

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Well this has gone the shape of a drooping and rapidly rotting pear

 

[Johan]

alright we are back in the game.

 

[Chin Music]

alright we are back in the game.

Knock the last four wickets over for less than 40 more and I will agree.

**** No, has the accuracy of a drunk guy taking a piss.

Wouldn't mind more Mark Wood on commentary.

Its interesting, isn't it? Broad seems a naturally good commentator (Surprising given how he came across as a player). Wood seems very interesting as a commentator, though it maybe the effect of him being new to this. In India, Varun Aaron has been absolute gold as a commentator, and as an analyst, far better than just about anyone we have doing commentary or analysis.

 

[cascade]

This is a bit silly.

 

[silentstriker]

brainless

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Garbage. So much for including Thakur for his batting prowess.
