Proper test match cricket this

Is that the 8-a-side when you bat in pairs and get 2 overs but can't be out (you get runs deducted instead?). Do they still do that? I used to hate that as was primarily a bowler and it didn't feel right. Much preferred when we moved to proper (ironically 20 over) cricket?

Yes, problem is too many coaches just want to win the 11 a side games so any young players don't bowl and bat at 10 or 11 so find it as dull as anything

:digin: So much better than the 20/20 stuff

Getting a new ball after 62 overs is cheating imo.

I think today we’ll know exactly how good the England batting is...

Burns needs to be thinking double century and the team 500.

Splendid knock from Burns...just want I wanted...no heroics, nothing stupid...just good mental strength and patience...BREAK THEM then let Woakes finish the job.

Great jinxing, T. Did you have money on us losing?

Well they got themselves into a right mess.

Playing like the team that got beat 2-1 by the windies
