Ferret-legging

You don't wear shorts for that? I do. Very loose shorts.

 

[Mulletperm]

That Lyth fella ain't up to much is he :/

 

[camspur]

If Lyth is the answer to our opening batting conundrum they asked the wrong question.

 

[markysimmo]

Simple answer is we haven't had an answer since Strauss retired

 

[Baleforce]

you have to laugh, England are so sexy at times

 

[Richie]

Not sure if it's Ballance or Bell to drop, but I want Taylor to come in. No idea what to with Lyth, there simply isn't another opener around

 

[SUIYHA]

Today feels very Sherwood-esque

 

[markysimmo]

If you're going to lose lose big is what I say hahahaha

 

[markysimmo]

Bairstow is the most in form English player apart from Root currently, bring him in for the rest of the series and lose Bell

 

[markysimmo]

We won't enforce the follow on. Well give you 450+ to chase in just over a day and skittle you for 200 at best.

Do you have the lottery numbers for Wednesday ??

....are the words of a man who has never ferret-legged at anything like a professional level.

I may not have been a professional, but let's not let just any old kid throw opinions around simply because they've played a couple of games of Ferret-Legging Manager 2015.

You missed this one too.

Enjoy your lead boys - it will be gone in three and a half days!!

 

[markysimmo]

and here we go again

 

[Richie]

Warner gone, get Smith early and we could be in business.

Seems like a perfect morning for a bowl, surprised Clarke chose to bat.

Especially as the forecast is for cloud cover all day and a pitch with grass on the top

 

[Richie]

Just did a silly celebration in my (otherwise empty) office. Smith gone, Australia in trouble.

 

[markysimmo]

Good start from England, lovely catch from Cook too

One more quick wicket here and it will give us a massive chance to do some damage today

 

[markysimmo]

Pup gives it the big one, Pup misses a straight one and is bowled

Hahahahahahah massive cnut

34/3

 

[Richie]

Honestly, this seems like a 15 wicket kind of day if the cloud cover stays. Topple them for 120 by the evening session, in come England and get the top order blown away

 

[Superted]

What's the chances of a 5 day thunderstorm hitting pretty soon?
