A place to chat about anything thats not football related. Most of the threads in here are completely pointless which is why people keep coming back and back. As the forum title suggests, feel free to make any post you want on any subject you wish. It also has Adult jokes (so be warned) which is the other reason people keep coming back.

First ball 4

Yes, will be an interesting series with this new approach, it could be humiliating, it could work and be entertaining.

What a day it's been so far..........It's Test cricket but not as we know it...Aus may be slightly happier so far bearing in mind Eng decided to bat. But if Eng can get to 400+ then it's runs on the board. Fascinating stuff.

Declare before 400

really is crazy stuff, but you've got to give it to them for trying, and shame they couldn't get a wicket before stumps. Not sure I look forward to seeing Labuschagne and Smith on that wicket though!

I think now an extra 40/50 runs could make all the difference....oh well bazball it is and very entertaining it is to....

Another chance at 3 missed!
Yeah, that declaration looking a little hasty now, but I guess that's hindsight. Nicely in the balance for the final day at least, fingers crossed the Ausies get twitchy.

Set up nicely for the final day if the weather holds - Hopefully, if they do get on the pitch after lunch the ball will be swinging like a rusty gate! Oh Jimmy, Jimmy......etc etc

Hopefully! Should definitively get a conclusion I think, weather looks fine once this muck has passed and dried out.

Itโs looking like CookieMonsterโs brilliance will once again prove successful! I think the runner up slot is still wide open, though. This has certainly been a fun tournament!
i will try my best to restart the individual league when the football season restarts. If thereโs enough interest, a head to head league may follow.
Hopefully JohhnyB and Stuart81 will return too!
Good luck guys & gals!

Made another mess of that one! Shame in the Ashes too, you can't plan for Cummins to pull that kind of an innings out, just happens and a lot comes down to luck. I thought the new ball would see to them, but without Anderson in his prime, there's not as much firepower there, just helped them score faster.

Yes, but it was highly entertaining. I agree about the bowling and I think overall Lyons is the difference between the two sides. If Leach had been fit, on that pitch I think we'd be looking at an Eng win. Fine margins. I'd swap Wood for M Ali at Lords and rely on Root as a spin option.
Test cricket at its absolute best............

I meant I made a mess of the wordle
I can't remember too many tests that stayed that even throughout, every time a team seemed to be in the ascendancy, they got pegged back. Good stuff and yes, real shame about Leach, and can expect a couple of changes for the next test, will be interesting to see what they come up with.
