England's Summer of Cricket against Sri Lanka and India

[Shaggy]

It's weird - part of me feels pleased to see us being wank, so disillusioned am I with Cook and the ECB.

[Alex]

Robson gone, drawn into playing at and edging a wide one. Good bowling.

Regarding that picture Alex, that just reminded me of a couple of years ago, I went on an interview at Investec, and they asked me what I thought the zebra symbolises. I was highly stumped.

Its a Zebra. It represents a Zebra or a stripy horse.

[Alex]

If it wasnt for Bell, this side would be ****ed wouldn't it.

Moeen is going unleash his doosra when he gets a bowl

[Shaggy]

74-3, Ballance gone. Good this.

[Zapater]

I would have gotten up and walked out.

What did you say - something about everything being black and white? What a load of bull****.

I was like "....err...Well. Investec originated in Africa so the zebra is there to make reference to that, it's also black and white like a ledger sheet, seeing that they deal with finances". I'm not sure if it was a good answer or not because they were like 'okay' and looked back at me blankly.

Walking out wasn't an option, they'd have doubled my salary. Safe to say I didn't get the job haha.

Ballance gone now too. Bell is really key for England now.

[captainfog]

Rooty to get a hundred today.

[Buzzo]

It's weird - part of me feels pleased to see us being wank, so disillusioned am I with Cook and the ECB.

Commonly referred to as the ‘Hodgson effect’.

[captainfog]

We are scoring at a fair lick.

[Shaggy]

Belly and Rooty should cash in here, surely.

[Zapater]

Jamie Redknapp

[Buzzo]

Bell on a Pietersen style rampage - he'd better watch top scoring with fast runs will cost him his place in the team.

[RichC]

Bell gone then for 56.

[Buzzo]

Pietersenesque innings.

[captainfog]

Oh Moeen. What an ugly shot. He was looking so good too.

Is it wrong that I hope Prior gets a low score?
