SHRIMPER 328 Posted February 7, 2021 Rishahb Pant. Great favorite of mine in the IPL. When he is behind the castle he is a non stop chatterer though. Get on my wick a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Get on my wick a bit. One of the Sri Lankans was doing that as well. It does get on your nerves. They just had a gorgeous view of the stadium and beach behind it. Slightly more appealing than the winter landscape here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was told by the ump to tone it down a bit during our knock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

horsefly 4,303 Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) another stunning catch from Stokes. Can't see them enforcing the follow on on this pitch. Edited February 8, 2021 by horsefly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herman 9,787 Posted February 8, 2021 Listening to it on Talk****e and it's actually OK. Little to no adverts during the game and the commentators are mostly pretty good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SHRIMPER 328 Posted February 8, 2021 Watching on C4 at the moment instead of sky. Its good to hear A Cooks thoughts on the reasons for playing on as against declaring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

horsefly 4,303 Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) 38 years-old and bowling better than ever. The man is a machine. And so very clever to bowl the cutter to Pant instead of the reverse swing. Edited February 9, 2021 by horsefly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

horsefly 4,303 Posted February 9, 2021 Fantastic performace from England's finest. Won pretty much every session of play. And well done Channel 4. Great to see the glorious game back on terrestrial tv. Very good coverage with excellent analysis from straightforward experts rather than the over-blown egos of some of the usual suspects on other channels.
