England v South Africa

[Altobelli]

Surprised no one has put a thread up for this.

Root getting a great 190 on his captains debut and England accumulating 458 after an uncomfortable start with 47 for 4.

South Africa replied with 361.

England 2nd innings currently 48 for no loss (145 runs ahead) trying to endure the first 2 strike bowlers in Morkel and Rabada as South Africa have lost Philander having to go to Hospital for an xray on his finger which is just bruised.

Off for Tea now.

That's a strange thing to say BT with threads on Lions Tour, Tour de France, Brexit, Sixus about a Politicians children's names and some @rsehole putting a Word Of The Day thread up

England close on 119/1 losing Jennings for 33 with Captain Cook on 59 and Balance on 22, England 216 ahead

Lol! We just don't seem to do cricket unless Lancashire are in the frame!

I like cricket so happy to chat.
Great last wicket stand with Jimmy and Broad in first innings and Jimmy gets two important wickets, so definitely a Burnley angle too.
SA will be sick they dropped key players and messed up their reviews. Broad would have gone for 4 and Root was dropped early on in his 190.
Looking good and one of their players banned from next game after swearing took him over the limit ( I don't know what I'm talking about here - but what's new!!)

Exactly what I was thinking...

I could tell you my memories of Colne CC if you like, but you'd probably fall asleep!

My one and only wicket in the Lancashire League was the Colne professional way back in 1964 when playing for Church during the holidays as a 17 year old. I later joined the RAF and played some good cricket! lol
