MCC v Rest of the World: Lord's, Saturday 6 July

*titters*

 

[Viscount Tom]

Strauss just apologised for suggesting that KP is James Blunt.

 

[grecian]

Ather's being rather mischievous to Mr Strauss

Ather's being rather mischievous to Mr Strauss

He asked him earlier if he modelled his batting on Brian Lara.

Finch past 150, can't get 200 unless he scores every run from now on but should finish with a very big one.

 

[Teja.]

It's hilarious that Yuvraj and Finch got huge tons and nobody else even scored a fifty this game.

 

[grecian]

Allott and Knight talking about Finch playing Tests. I approve of this way of thinking.

 

[Daemon]

I'm going to blame Lee and Ajmal for this farce

According to Atherton and Strauss this match was "very competitive".

According to Atherton and Strauss this match was "very competitive".

It was a horrible flat mess, But I watched a lot of it, so I don't know what that makes me.

 

[uvelocity]

feel like we would have heard about this from more than one source if it happened

#fail

 

[Blocky]

Any time you bring a "Best of the Legends" together, leave out guys like Ajmal and Finch who are currently playing at world class level.

 

[morgieb]

Oh FFS. Finch scoring a massive match-winning century?

 

[Viscount Tom]

Leave it to the Yorkshireman to win it.

 

[Burgey]

Surprised more Yorkshiremen aren't concerned about the army of French riding through the County yesterday tbh.

 

[Burgey]

Man, I forgot how great lara is to watch. Just a ****ing genius.

 

[andyc]

Here's some of the Go Pro footage from Gilly. Tait's clearly just trundling in but that second one's still bloody quick

 

[Burgey]

That's so ****ing cool.

 

[Zinzan]

So awesome

 

[GIMH]

Quality.

 

[Daemon]

So with Yuvraj, Ajmal and Finch dominating I think it's evidence enough to conclude that modern day players are far, far superior compared to all the hacks from the past.
