The Cricket.....WOW!

[Dubbag]

Yes but at 3 runs per over.

It’ll by Xmas Day before they catch up with us!

Not a bowler's wicket for sure.
I think they may very well get their draw. The session before lunch tomorrow should be quite interesting.

136th over: Pakistan 499-7 Day three.
Looks like a draw....

[mickd1961]

Not necessarily.

If we take their last three wickets quickly tomorrow and then make a quick 250-300 runs we’ll have a day and a bit to bowl them out on a wearing and hopefully spinning pitch.

Trouble is Mick is that our spinners are not massive turners of the ball. Only Jack Leach is a specialised spin bowler, the rest are part time spinners.

If that pitch wears enough Root is good enough to pick up 3 or 4 Tip and Jacks has got 3 in his first Test.

If it keeps low Anderson will get reverse and pin them in front.

I expect a draw though.

England lead Pakistan by 114 runs with 9 wickets remaining.

What did I tell you!?

But......we’ve batted so quickly we could now lose this match having scored over 1000 runs at around 7 runs an over!

WOW aren't three letters I would use when talking about cricket unless it's an insect not common to an area. Zzz would be more descriptive.
I would sooner go to work if I had to spend the day watching that s hite. The last sentence is probably an exaggeration but you get my drift.
You can spend money at a ground watching your cricket team pile on the runs. The opposition knock a paltry number of runs and have two wickets left, it starts to rain and they call it a draw. Absolute garbage.
Best to check the weather before going to a game.

That’s pretty much my understanding of it! 🤣😎😇
