Crawley is the worst lads. Get him fired into the sun.

Get in the compost bin.

 

[f.t.r.s]

Crawley needs to go, talented lad but just isn't working for him at test level

 

[ToffeeTim]

Crawley is a frustrating one. Clearly has a lot of talent and looks really good when he gets set, but he can't seem to choose which balls to play at

Is there another sport that attracts passive aggressive sneering fans like cricket?

Pretty sure there isn’t.

Great game Chico as a good swing/seam bowler in my day, I would have knocked your middle wicket over easily lol

It's a sport that doesn't involve much running about, it has a short season, training is optional, you can stand and do nothing in the sun, you don't have to turn up when the weather is bad, and you get a free lunch at the break.

It ticks all the boxes for me to be honest

Ball of the Century: Gatting was dismissed by Shane Warne with a mind-boggling delivery which was later termed as ‘Ball of the Century’. Graham Gooch who was at the non-strikers end on Gatting’s expression said, “He looked as though someone has just nicked his lunch”. Gooch later revealed how Gatting would have tackled that banana turn and said, “If it had been a cheese roll, it would never have got past him.”

….good news, trying to think what would be a decent total to chase. Perhaps <220 Is good, >250 the advantage is with Warks,

And another for Williams, 3-21. Warwickshire 95-5.

Could be considerably less.

 

[Rita_Poon]

oh dear, 2 done in 5 minutes. Pope and Root out.

 

[Eggs]

Could be considerably less.

…yep, just seeing another for Williams. Fingers crossed.

England in a spot of bother. Not sure if this new regime can block their way to a draw.
