Summer 2020 Cricket Thread

[SteMerritt]

Aussies used to go for 601 before declaring, for the psychological hit of the opposition needing to score 400 to avoid the follow on.

 

[Sarge]

Broady enjoying himself two Sixes .... and gone .... 583 -8 declared

 

[Essexyellows]

583-8........... declared at last!

 

[Sarge]

Will Pakistan send out nightwatchmen?

 

[Sarge]

Anderson n Archer to bowl maybe?

 

[Sarge]

Anderson n Archer to bowl maybe?

Anderson opening as expected.... will Archer or Broad (or Woakes) get to bowl from the other end?

 

[Sarge]

Broad from t'other end it is then

 

[Sarge]

first blood to Broady then .... or perhaps not after review

 

[Sarge]

Oh Jimmy Jimmy .... Anderson takes the first wicket ...6-1

 

[Sarge]

floodlights on...... thinking maybe Archer may be unleashed for a few overs before close of play?

 

[Sarge]

Another Wicket for Jimmy Anderson ... 11-2
Anderson closing in on his 600 test wickets

Babar next man in

 

[Sarge]

Archer replaces Broad for a few overs

 

[Foley]

Archer replaces Broad for a few overs

That was some first over by Archer.
Quick, swinging both ways and even Babar was struggling.

 

[Sarge]

Anderson gets his 3rd ... Babar gone , LBW ... 24-3

 

[Sarge]

close of play at 24-3 .... good day for England

597 now for Anderson

 

[Essexyellows]

Tearing into them............ 3 down.

 

[nige01ox]

Old man Anderson. He's finished as a test cricketer I tell you.

 

[SteMerritt]

Fourth for Anderson, then straight off for rain. Think it's going to be a frustrating morning.

 

[makv]

597 now for Anderson

I was a bit previous with that. Correct now though!!
