Just watched the last hour and a half of today's play. Stunning performance, particularly by Cook, but Trott and Pieterson looking pretty good too. 317 for 2 at the close of play, Cook not out on 136 and Pieterson not out on 85 :038:
 
Got tickets for the 4th day, cannot wait.
 
Lunch England 449-3
 
now 458-4 Collingwood gone
 
Pietersen 200 up. Now 534 for 4
 
So... cricket forum huh? Just passing through, in peace... and stuff... havin a look around.
So people actually do follow cricket as an actual sport and everything? It's not just the maths puzzle at the end of the sports segment of the news.

Nice. Hope it goes 70 per dozen for 24 inside legs on a googly or whatever it is that you all do.
Hittin it for six, now that is defo cricket chat... of some description.

I did actually maintain a cricket conversation once, but I quickly realised that he wasn't listening to a word I was saying, so resorted to just inserting random statements into his conversation, for my own amusement.

"Something, something, something, England, Pakistan, bowling, something, collapse, not like the old days when they had a bit of respect"

"I've heard Burkaman Dishwash is the next lad to watch out for, used to clean Botham's car, and if Beefy likes him, forget the rest of them, they'r not fit to point excitedly at his laces"

"Dishwash eh? Yeah, I actually hearded about him before the press did, cause I'm best mates with the bloke out the Paki shop down the road. I call him Abdul, dunno what his real name is. We haves a right laugh. Some of them are actually alright."

"They actually selectively breed Pakistanis and Indians, no they're not the same thing, for their cricketing abilities. West India's government has been trying to buy Paki DNA, but they can't get the quality they need to breed the perfect cricket player.
They can get the physical attributes right, but every clone they've made so far can't grasp the ridiculous and arcane rules cricket. When you go out you're in, then when you're out you've to go back in again, not to mention being 'hit for six' caused me a very embarrassing incident last week, but I've repayed all of the money and apologised for the slaps that I gave to Davey Roker. To be fair, I've not been spoken to in that manner since the last time I was on the Reeperbahn and it's no wonder I thought he wanted to get a grip of me, he's a cute, handy little ****er is Davey boy, but not a ****in match for me when I'm annoyed. Or confused. Or pissed. Or just generally really, in fairness, I'd knock **** out of Davey Roker any daY OF THE WEEK. So bring it on ya little bollix. Aaah fair ****s to him, in fairness, he stood his ground when I growled at him when wo of his mates ran off, I still made him cry though, he says he wasnt but, they werent just tears of frustration it must've really hurt I don't care what the **** he says.

But anyway, that's just me passin through, never been in a cricket forum before, seems alright, haven't got a ****in scoobies what you're all on about so I'm just wafflin to meet ye all at your level, 74 for 8 lengths on a 27 run sprint to the crease over the wicket, ya know wot I mean eh?
Homerun
 
:icon_lol: I'm assuming this is Macky at the end of his night, rather than the start of his day :icon_lol:
 
If you look at Macky's contribution to the snow thread you'll see what's behind his post on this thread, and his type of snow is not the same as the stuff surrouding my house!!

Don't worry Motown, I've seen it :icon_bigg

Just off to the Oval, I reckon we will do it today.
 
KP out off Doherty. England having a bit of a go this morning, don't see the point myself.

Can't go on for much longer, rain expected tomorrow so really need to get wickets today.

Even if the Aussies bat all day they are still likely to be 100 or so behind tomorrow.
 
I believe Bell and prior put on 52 for the last 34 balls. Nice finish! lets now get an early wicket and really put the pressure on.
