I enjoy cricket so much more when bowlers are able to make batters work really hard for their runs.
There’s nothing quite like the oooohs and aaaahs of a ball zipping past an edge.
Have just heard an American journalist say Shane Lowry yelling Fuck you in retaliation to the god awful abuse he and Mcilroy have suffered was out of line…the yanks lack of self awareness, inability to grasp irony and just sheer ability to be as thick as pig shit is astounding
I can’t explain how much I love test cricket.
That whole match, from the first morning to now has been totally gripping. 2-3 times, I fully thought England were dead and buried and every time, the balance shifted back.
It’s incredible sport when it’s at its best.
Ball 3: Zak Crawley pulls away four times
Ball 5: Zak Crawley gets hit on the glove and needs the physio
England were determined not to face a second over before the close of play. And India were determined to let them know how they felt.
Love how the Aussies have slagged Bazball off constantly for 2 years but as soon as they get an opener bat like it, they get all geddy like school girls looking at a shirtless Chris Hemsworth.
