England Test Cricket Thread - Summer 2016

[BlackLabel]

Wow what a finish to that odi! Brilliant.

[FiF]

Bloody hell!

[Amirhussain]

I'd hate to be a Sri Lankan at the moment...what a finish

[hornetrider]

Fantastic!

[RichB]

Excellent, I turned over from "The Great Debate" with 64 required off 42 and what a finish. That's how ODI should be, down to the last few balls.

[Black can man]

Any one know why one of the umpires seem to have a plastic dish on his arm ?

[FiF]

For protection in case of someone hoofing the ball in his direction. All day TMS have been taking suggestions for a name for the shield.

The 100 point Target Shield?

[spikeyhead]

Blimey, Hales and Roy have remembered how to bat

[FourWheelDrift]

I didn't know this was on (thought it might be rained off)

19 needed off 107 balls

It's the power of Brexit, the EU was clearly holding us back in the sporting arena

1. brexit #smashedit

[fathomfive]

Well, that was crushing.

[spikeyhead]

Once again batters 3,4,5 and 6 fail to contribute.

Harsh... but fair.

[Gargamel]

Good to see Root getting bat on ball.

[hornetrider]

Good game this.

[FourWheelDrift]

Sorry put the mockers on it by just turning on to watch it.


Ps. I really don't like the blue ODI shirt the darker blue lion paws on the front just looks like a nasty sweat stain.

[hornetrider]

Great chase and win. Shame Roy couldn't carry his bat and get the record but excellent all the same.

[The jiffle king]

Only been able to follow the game on BBC text, but looking like we have a lot of good players who are able to take the pressure.
