Capt. Pants 4,228 Posted August 24, 2019 A good effort today, a bit of pride restored. We needed this in the 1st innings though, not when the match is over. England will collapse at some point, they always do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,605 Posted August 24, 2019 This is proper test cricket finally- dig in, get some runs, punish the bad balls and more importantly BE PATIENT! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PurpleCanary 5,557 Posted August 26, 2019 Only cricket can do that. In the moment nothing can touch football, but at its best cricket is like a great play, or a grand opera, that throws the emotions this way and that as it builds towards its climax. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herman 9,756 Posted August 26, 2019 I love Aggers commentary on games like that. His clear and obvious cricketer balance goes out of the window slightly, his voice rises a bit and his excitement gets the better of him. It was a joy to listen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,605 Posted September 5, 2019 I know he's a great batsman but this team seems to have a complete mental block when it comes to Smith. It's almost like they don't believe they can get him out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just can't see it though as we seem to guarantee Smith a century everytime he bats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
