We shouldn't be seeing idiotic run outs with stokes and root at the crease.
Jacks, you arse! Literally just missed it the ball before with exactly the same dumb shot.Quote:

Good to see your unbridled optimism extends to cricket as well Peter :hehe:Quote:

Another wicket, as I type :-(
As usual, every time we get a foothold in the game we chuck it.

Can't be long, they were saying that the Aussies wouldn't get the new ball today when I drove to work 3 hours ago. Had bowled something like 42 overs by what would be the tea break.Quote:

Seriously, 74 overs in a day is outrageous
That is terrible, should be 5 runs per over short, only way to stop it.Quote:
