1st Test (Leeds) - 20th June

It's Headingley, the pitch never ****ing deteriorates.

Mad how it's such a hard place to bat plenty of the time.

Yet can has these massive 4th innings chases throughout the years too.

 

[Johan]

Modern cricketers don't have the art of batsmanship. Maybe Root and Lokesh from this Test. The rest are very much just batters.

True

James Vince is a Batsman

Harry Brook is a Batter

 

[Daemon]

Hate how Pant collects the ball against spin. Keep your gloves together ffs.

 

[Johan]

It is so female cricketers are not excluded

can't you just say Batsman in men's games and batswoman in women's games?

 

[GIMH]

True

James Vince is a Batsman

Harry Brook is a Batter

No. This is not a thing

 

[GIMH]

can't you just say Batsman in men's games and batswoman in women's games?

Sure, but in the laws of the game and such like they’re moving towards batter to be inclusive, so it’ll just become the term

And anyway. Not like we have bowlmen, wicket keepmen, and fieldsmen is hardly ever used

I'm going to bed. No point staying up for the final rites. Well done England blah blah blah

 

[Alex0paul]

Is there going to be enough runs in the bank for the new ball to make a difference?

 

[Howe_zat]

I've reached the point where I have to find other things to do to distract myself from nervously checking the score.

Nothing gets me to take the bins out more than the endings of test matches

Probably not

What's the cut off time?

Alternatively, one doesn't want to be responsible for a wicket by briefly abandoning the match.

We all know you're not going to bed don't kid yourself.

 

[Alex0paul]

The Woakes/Carse partnership was the killer. India should’ve been 50/60 runs ahead on first innings

 

[kevinw]

Well we'll get to the new ball but ideally need under 30 by that point, still 5 down.

 

[wpdavid]

Is there going to be enough runs in the bank for the new ball to make a difference?

I reckon so. Bumrah couild easily take a batch of lower order wickets in no time at all.

 

[slowfinger]

It is so female cricketers are not excluded

can we not just use the term batswoman and batswomen instead of neutering our language though

 

[Stapel]

Is there going to be enough runs in the bank for the new ball to make a difference?

I think so, if a wicket falls before it.

 

[slowfinger]

It is so female cricketers are not excluded

it must be so that transgender athletes don't feel excluded

Willow died.

Their quality of service sucks but it's all I have here.
