Staying up late Burgey?

WI in the catbird seat. Does anyone remember who came up with that? Was a pom.

First time I am hearing this so had to google

The catbird seat" is an American English idiomatic phrase used to describe an enviable position, often in terms of having the upper hand or greater advantage in any type of dealing among parties.

Thoroughy enjoyed that Late Cute

i think it’s too late for Bess now. If someone takes him downtown in one over, they can erase a quarter of the deficit

You're probably right, but maybe first up after tea before they've settled. It's probably academic anyway. And you're right about him being under-bowled too. Those two umpires calls for LBW are as close as we've looked most of the time.

 

[GotSpin]

The Windies don't have a single batsmen who averages in the 40s right?

 

[Neptune]

I think we?re really quite ****ed here you know. I don?t think it?ll be too difficult for Windies to take it home from here. If we don?t get a few quick wickets after tea then we?re done for. Holder is still to come too.

It struck me that there can't be many of us who were even alive last time WI won a series over here; me Grecian, Burgey. Maybe SCC1? Must be a decent possibility this time.

88 wasn't it. Ambrose was brilliant in one test I seem to recall.

Didn?t they win in the late eighties? I feel like a lot of us were alive then.

SCC1 is a uni student

Yup. Ambrose and Marshall both several classes too good for us.

Nope. Most are low 30s.

Dowrich averages about 49 since 2018, though.

Whoops. Just give me a moment to delete that bit.

 

[weldone]

What did I get myself into by joining the commentary stream?

what happened?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Marshall was the best ever. He could do everything. Frighteningly good.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Solid in defense

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Too high?

 

[Primrose_D12]

Am I talking to myself on Discord

 

[trundler]

Too high?

Far too high and straight

 

[GotSpin]

Never looked out

What a shot
