England Winter Test cricket thread

[RichC]

It was comical this, Samuels tugging at a shirt earlier in the innings and Warne had a meltdown

[Alex]

Lobbing the bat was a bit silly though.

[Chazza]

The TV coverage was a bit naughty to keep the mic's on as they are supposed to be turned off during and after a delivery.

Still good viewing though

[Chazza]

Ton for Bell in today's warm up.

[Pedenj]

Brilliant start here from England.

Bell with 73 of 85 & Cook with 64 of 63 as it stands.

141 for 0 after 24 overs.

[Pedenj]

Bell Run Out for 85. Good knock


158-1 27.4 Overs

[Shaggy]

We should get 300+ here. We won't though.

[Pedenj]

We need to get 300+ more to the point.

Think it all depends on how KP plays now to be honest.

[Pedenj]

Cook gone for 75 now.

172-2

Nightmare! - started new job this week, been at head office all week - today, is my first day being based/working from home

I get up, shower, quick brekkie, switch laptop on and log in, switch tv on

India vs England ODI! - what a way to test my commitment/motivation

[RichC]

Got to be blasting through 300, 232-2 40 overs gone

[Pedenj]

They've both woken up a little bit.

If i had to call it from here I'd say around 305. These two have the potential to push it further than that though.

[Alex]

Cook is such a slow cricketer. I can see the pace being picked up now.

Edit: Why has there never been loads of 'Slow Cooker' based puns in the papers or on this thread. Dissapointing.

[RichC]

Morgan gone for 41, good catch

[Alex]

Great caught and bowled.
