Yep, I've found it! It's between Dennis the Menace and Minnie the Minx!
I know its probably not quite so easy at test level but I could hear my dad shouting from Heaven 'Get to the Bloody pitch!'
Bad pitch, pink ball, questionable 3rd umpire....... none of it excuses poor batting. We've not played the pitch, we've not adapted our game plan, we deserve to lose.
It tells us everything when a very occasional bowler takes 5 for 8!! Unfortunately, India put winning before cricket but they can do that as, politically, they dominate cricket! I agree with rA, this brings the demise of 'Test' cricket closer. Stick with the short forms of the game, f u ck playing the game in it's purest form if all teams can do is turn it into 'It's a Knockout'. Wear circus comedian dress with bright red noses and a banana stuck up your arris and we can all have a good laugh!
I'm not sure we could replace Athers and Bumble with Eddie Waring and Stuart Hall though, especially as the former has been 34 years dead and the latter's fall from grace is well documented
Setting ourselves up nicely for a disappointing second innings at the mo
Another three day test? Reckon Athers and Bumble have been missed...as openers!
This last hour has been painful.
