WICKET

Foakes b Ashwin 24 (Eng 218-9)

Oh, that’s unlucky.

Ben Foakes sweeps, misses, and the ball ricochets off his elbow and on to the stumps.

5,000 members of the Barmy Army in attendance…
:man_facepalming:

Still they should get an extra 2 days of sightseeing at least

I like how BBC are reporting:

ā€œIndia spinners take all 100 wickets - Kuldeep claims 5-72.ā€

It certainly feels like it :rofl::rofl:

Someone’s been on the happy pills

If we’re looking for bright sparks from the series, the opening partnership of Crawley and Duckett has to be one. They’ve had seven 45+ opening partnership this series, and we’ve been 100-1 four times this series (we were 100-5 or more in almost every innings last tour of India). This is a good India team who are untouchable at home, and the introduction of Kuldeep has had a similar impact to Woakes in last summer’s ashes.

Another famous all rounder did similar at the Oval v W Indies TV cut to - me celebrating in the crowd.
I was supposed to be at work.
Ended that career…

Brave were Brave having Jofra Archer on a central contract

England are now bottom of the World Test Championship table after Sri Lanka beat Bangladesh yesterday.
Can’t see any improvement in the near future with the hit and giggle nonsense that is the Hundred taking precedence during the whole of August.

Nice guy.
England v Pakistan in Lahore in the days of Darren Gough there were no direct flights from Lahore so we shuttled down to Karachi stayed the night & Aggers was checking out at reception
We shared a lift to the airport, blagged him into the lounge then, before takeoff sent him a glass of Chardonnay from Business Class.
He’d been dreaming of one for weeks.
We got a hug for that.
Lovely guy
