Not necessarily PC these days but historical treasures.
My favourite line. Typical stinking fvcking hot day here in MumbaiâŠ
3rd test starts today, England won toss and decide to bat (I think), first over didnât go so well
1 over
WICKET
Sibley lbw Roach 0 (Eng 1-1)
Stone dead. You donât review that.
After hanging a few outside off, Kemar Roach gets Dom Sibley to play two balls in a row.
And the second ducks in, zipping past Sibleyâs defence and thwacks into the front pad.
Sibley wisely opts against sending it upstairs - that was hitting three quarters of the way up middle stump. Huge breakthrough for the Windies - Joe Root is already in.
Currently 6-1
Ball is zipping about like anything, England will be lucky to make 80 today (all out that is)
England lost the toss andwidies put them in ?
Yeah, youâre right, I thoughted I gotted it wrongâŠ
Root gone run out for 17
47-2

Whoa.

Been out all morning never noticed.
Clearly Stokes cant be fit to bowl then

Into the tail alreadyâŠ
If you get a chance you should see the Windies spinner, Cornwall, a less likely looking cricketer you will never see.
Apparently he is brilliant in the slips though, he must react faster than he walksâŠ
Burns 50 up, currently 54 (132)

Burns gone for 57.
edges Chase to (you guessed it) Cornwall who takes a ball coming at him at speed very well.
