Had tears in my eyes watching the highlights Sunday night.
Back from a 3 day bender in Maga, had 5 hours sleep since Thursday, lost me wallet and Ray Bans, rough as a badger, sweating, twitching and then that beautiful man did that. Outrageous. Nearly tipped me over the edge.

Let's get our shit together and have a go at Old Trafford.

Anderson out for the series - shame for Jimmy but least we know now rather than risk him in another test !

Sadly, I think his days at the top are numbered.

Anybody else watching the T20 Blast between Somerset and Middlesex?
And if so, what a fucking catch that was to get rid of AB De Villiers!

 

[GTFCfish]

Christ Middlesex just chased down 227 with 3 overs to spare, Eoin Morgan with 83 off 29 balls!

Great win for Essex tonight beating Lancashire for a place at finals day. Awful commentary from Sky tonight. Unreal bias

 

[Super_horns]

hmm .. Smith and the rain are really getting annoying now !

Even more annoying was that I went to sleep yesterday morning (I work nights) and I dreamt that Australia were 105/9 and woke up really happy, then checked the score and they were actually 120 for 2 but my dream felt so real that I was gutted!

 

[Super_horns]

3 dropped catches and Smith out on a no ball (by a spinner!)

Maybe we just used up our good luck in the last test?

 

[kieran_vale]

While our batting has rightly been criticised heavily some of our catching has been terrible over a significant period of time. Was just a matter of time for it to come back to bite us.

 

[Luke_1884]

Pray for rain.

Jason Roy nailed on to be out before stumps tonight.

Lol didn’t know that!

 

[Luke_1884]

Well there's the inevitable 1 before the close of play.

 

[blademan89]

We need lots of rain

 

[Super_horns]

It is Manchester so bound to!

Easy win for Notts tonight - hammered Middlesex.

 

[SMH]

Hales should see Notts to the title. He’s a class act in white ball.

 

[Super_horns]

Rain till lunch ?

Thanks Manchester, you can always rely on rain up there.

 

[GTFCfish]

Good to see we’re putting up a fight here, I expected 4 or 5 down by now so very happy with this.

Rory Burns cementing his place here

He’s that good they should name a night of the year after him.

 

[Super_horns]

Still expecting a collapse but good to see Burns and Root sticking by it .

 

[blademan89]

All going wrong

You and your big mouth.

Some great bowling from Hazlewood. Roy had looked ok until his dismissal, just looks so un-natural though when trying to defend.

[GTFCfish]

Bastard.

 

[Super_horns]

You and your big mouth.

Well I was partly right unfortunately!
