🏏 :engerland: England in South Africa 2019-20 🇿🇦

If it’s our first win since 1957, does that mean we carried our bats?

Remember when England beat Germany 5-1 in soccer ball? Those England players really wore their boots that day.

Cricket - arcane game, watched by accountants and talked about by auditors.

Twat! As well as being a cunt.

Auditing accountant!

Lol.

I think the yoof would say “triggered”.

Just a shame I couldn’t get the Welsh one to bite too.

Isn’t it.

A voice in my head said “Leave it Dave, he ain’t worf it!”. But I shall respond thus:

The young Bletch tried his luck playing cricket,
“With my skills,” he said, “I’ll be just the ticket”.
No box did he wear,
As he strode to the square,
And poor Bletch now has no middle wicket.

I liked the Accountant, not a bad film to be honest.

There was a lot of discussion on CricInfo, with various contributors questioning Stokes’ qualities, mostly based on his batting and bowling averages. But if you understand only numbers, you don’t understand cricket at all.

Anderson ruled out of rest of the tour with what he says is a broken rib.

To be fair it’s going to be difficult to carry your bat with a broken rib.

That doesn’t matter for Anderson he cant bat

I am one of only 4 England fans who saw Jimmy Anderson hit a 6 in a Test match v Pakistan.
And not off an edge, off the middle over midwicket

Oh, and what’s his highest Test score?

6

All those tests and Burns has done better with the bat :slight_smile:

How many innings did Anderson bat before he got his first duck? I think, up until recently, he always scored at least a run…

212 innings, 26 ducks
