Distant Doonhamer Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 85 all out. It's against Ireland too. Maybe there will be some sort of backstop arrangement negotiated for such an unexpected eventuality. Roon ye. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Ireland 127-2 at tea. Carried a wee bit of luck but have also played some lovely shots. No coincidence that they are going well with 2 batsmen who have played for Middlesex, and Murtaugh certainky made the most of his knowledge of his home pitch with the ball in hand.Broad the pick of England's bowlers, even though Curran took both wickets, couple of chances missed off him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 First Test wicket for Stone, decent couple of overs from him here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 And another, 138-5 now, good spell from England after tea, bowled much better since then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I'm sure Root would have been overjoyed at having to bat 1 over.Leach and Burns in to bat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArabGaz Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Andy Zaltzman pulling some fine/mental stats out for this.- England's numbers 4 to 7 scored two runs. Joint third worst in Test history. - England did not lose 10 wickets in a session between 1938 and 2016. They have done this 4 times in their last 34 Tests:v Ban Mirpur 2016v NZ Auckland 2018v Ind Nottingham 2018v Ire Lord's 2019- 3rd time since start of 2018 that a team batting 1st has been bowled out in under 25 overs in a Test. 6th time since 2008. Had only happened 3 times before then. This was England's 2nd shortest opening innings (23.4 overs), behind their 124gball capitulation in Auckland last yearAll of the above would be bad enough against peak McGrath, Warne, Lee etc but Ireland???

He has now got the 4th highest score of any English opener since Cook retired. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a choice between Dominic Sibley & Leach atm, seriously though, incredible how much this pitch has changed in the space of 24 hours but I think Ireland's chance is gone here. Cannot see Root, Bairstow et al failing so spectacularly again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember watching that live. [emoji33] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only higher score is Jennings 146 against Sri Lanka in Galle in November. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
