blandy Posted July 31, 2014 Moderator Share Posted July 31, 2014 5 days, 5 good days. Been a long time since we did that. India were bobbins, mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avfc96 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Game over, England win by 266 runs. Mo picks up 6 wickets. Anderson and Broad played very well. Shame Woakes didn't pick up any wickets, he was close to about 3. Bell played well, Cook played and captained well.. Awesome. But... now what do I do when I'm at work?! When does the Test at Old Trafford start?! Next Thursday. In other news, Trott has a century. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 It's going to take Durham roughly 10 minutes to beat Warwick today.. 264 all out. 106 from Trott. Goodness me we're weak when Trott, Chopra and Porterfield are gone. Porterfield has been pretty naff lately as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 England player reaction Alastair Cook on TMS, regarding form and captaincy: "It was getting to a crux situation, if it had carried on like that who knows what would have happened? But from one to 11 everyone contributed. But I want to mention Chris Woakes, to not get a wicket was very unlucky but he looks like an international bowler. Good news for Chris, clearly rated by the skipper then 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Really please with the win. Great bowling from Moeen, great to see. Going to give some credit to Cook too. Captained the side very well during this test. Proved some people wrong, me included. Keep it up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news for Chris, clearly rated by the skipper thenNice touch from Cook, I think. I have to be honest that I have been a bit dubious where Woakes is concerned but he looked pretty decent from what I saw of him in this game.

omariqy Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Woakes looked very good. Has found a bit of extra pace that will be needed at test level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Who came up with this godawful phrase 'nick off'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowychap Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Its been around since time began I can honestly say that I can't recall having heard it before Hussain and Strauss said it the other day.So that's about 34 years of playing cricket, watching cricket, listening to cricket commentaries, reading match reports, reading about the game and so on. 'Getting a nick' or 'nicking it to slip/the 'keeper' sure but 'nick off' or 'nicking off' - nope, never. Edited July 31, 2014 by snowychap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Likewise. I have never heard it in 19 years of playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avfc96 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) I've only ever heard it on TMS and Sky.] Never have heard it when I have played. Edited July 31, 2014 by Avfc96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloman Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 No I'd never heard it either. However, I have heard, "you've got more edges than a cracked piss-pot" applied to myself when batting ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 weird, I've heard it all the time. Certainly feels like it, whenever I've listened to TMS or followed online at least, in my mind it's been part of the vernacular for ages :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
