    *Official* First Test at Trent Bridge

    Hmmmm, Bairstow out. I really think Root at 6 and Compton to open would be a far better option.

    Well well, lucky Bell. Will he make it count?

    *Official* First Test at Trent Bridge

    Yeah, exactly. I think it is right(ish) not to overturn 'umpire's call' decisions. But it shouldn't cost a review.

    *Official* First Test at Trent Bridge

    If Agar will have a 15 year wicket-loaded career, whilst this remains his best innings with the bat, we might strat ti think otherwise.

    *Official* First Test at Trent Bridge

    Still catching breath from Ashton Agar's Wonder Innings, I feel the urge to go back to useless cricket details: We've had one over now. Root has faced 3 balls, Cook has faced 4 balls. Both Sky and Cricinfo think so. Do no-balls count as balls faced?

    Jimmy to get things over with quickly.

    I had no doubts. Was out!

    *Official* First Test at Trent Bridge

    Was thinking the same. The difference being that Aus were in a better postion at the closure of day 1, than England were 8 years ago. 7 down, iirc.

    *Official* First Test at Trent Bridge

    Well well. Thta's really poor from the Aussies. Also good bowling by Anderson and Swann. I can't see a 30+ 10th wicket partnership. and I can't see Cook, Trott, Pietersen, Bel & Prior getting out to poor strokes again, al least not all 5 of them. I guess England will take this game away in a...

    I still can't believe my luck! After 15 years, Test Cricket is back in Holland. Really good quality too!

    Your Cricket Season

    Well, our opponents were all out for 80 runs in 20 overs.... But it was a 35-over game. Easiest win of the season! Our competition format has 12 games of 35 overs. There are 7 teams and we play all oppenonets twice. My stock ball is a medium paced (or slow paced :) ) off-cutter. It really...

    Your Cricket Season

    Worth posting here I guess: Got my best figures ever: 3 for 15 from 4. Too bad I missed out on a hat-trick, as the ball just flew over short mid-wicket's head.

    ***Official*** India/Sri Lanka/West Indies tri-series

    The Great Shivnarine Chanderpaul in for Devon Smith then! Though I agree with your post, I must say that Chris Gayle can bat sensibly as well. We've become to know him as the most dangerous six hitter in the world, but he can do more than that. On various occasions I've seen him simply stay...

    Makes one wonder why the umpire even had a single brain cell thinking it was out........ It happened in a completely harmless situation, but still....

    You can't give that out, right?

    ***Official*** India/Sri Lanka/West Indies tri-series

    I guess you're right. My point merely being he didn't really need to turn the strike,as the RRR never got out of reach.
