pandarilla Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 No harm in doing it as last man. The cricket equivalent of punting the ball into the stand and claiming the throw in. ETA: As Atherton just said it is more of a day 4 pitch than a day 5, so I'd expect West Indies to get this. Not sure about the 59% England win prediction at all.I think it's very dodgy. It's like cheating. They just said that the only thing he could've hoped for is broken technology?That's dodgy.That ball clearly hit him and there's no way he didn't know it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Maturin Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Just now, Savage Henry said: Three down now. I may have to take my criticism of both Stokes and Archer back at this rate. Archer much more effective when dropping pace slightly and using skill. This nonsense that you have to bowl at 93mph all the time is silly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken tech wouldn't have saved him as the umpire gave him out. It was completely pointless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimi Shandrix Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 This is what makes test cricket the best format. You can boss the game for 3 days then have a bad 45 mins and the game swings completely. Still the Windies game to lose I think. One partnership of, say 70 now puts them back in the driving seat. On the other hand, 2 quick wickets and England are nearly home. Few twists and turns in this one yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Stokes is definitely getting VFM from his hair weave. This should be a cracking couple of hours, first chance I've had to sit down and watch it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of good hair chat to be had what with Rory Burns channelling his inner Captain Jack Sparrow and Ollie Pope heading down the Malachai from Children Of The Corn route. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England getting a wee bit desperate 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Blackwood looking like the hero here. 65 not out, and starting to spray it about.62 more needed to win, with 6 wickets in hand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Would take a fairly large bottle job from here I think, was expecting it to be closer. Blackwood has been excellent 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Dowrich out for 20, 32 needed with 5 wickets in hand, Holder about to face Stokes now. It was a peach of a ball from Stokes to get Dowrich out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Got to love TMS for a stat, if Stokes was to get Holder out it would be the first time ever in a test match that the opposing captains had dismissed each other in every innings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) Fair play to them. Showed bottle after a dodgy start to the innings. Edited July 12, 2020 by Bully Wee Villa 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
