Risso Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Was David Lloyd on a world record attempt to keep saying, 'twofer' and 'fiverfer' every other sentence? Overuse of sporting slang is annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qwpzxjor1 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) Can see Root batting through this innings and everyone else aiming to score at 5-6 an over. 5 an over in the afternoon session adds another 130 runs. I think Cook will then look to bat for half the evening session then declare with a lead of around 480-500. Give Broad and Anderson an hour or so at them this evening, then a nights rest, then Broad and Anderson fresh again tomorrow morning for another go at them. With 2 full days still to come there's no rush, but it's always nice to give their openers the problem of trying not to lose any wickets, it's always hard coming in for just an hour or so with that playing on your mind.

Avfc96 Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Did Smith catch that cleanly?? Look like he grounded it to me from one angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 171-4 at tea. England lead by 404. When do they declare? When Root gets his ton? At about half five regardless of the score? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Why? Surely you want an hour at them at the end of a long day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
