Batting Wicket Innit?

What they should do is declare a draw and on day 5 they should play with a milk crate as a wicket on a school playground and rotate each person at every over. With a windball. In the rain.

Now that's proper crickeeeeet.

what's a windball?

we used to wrap masking tape around 1 side of a tennis ball - get a bit of swing that way!

They extend a game from 90 minutes to 5 days and still draw. WALOB.

At least South Africa avoided following through.

HMRC declared they actually evaded.....

By all accounts England did well, scoring more points than South Africa in the first round, but because it took them so long to give all their players a turn it looks like the game will finish before the second round so all that good work was done for nothing

Always felt Cookie is over cautious with his declarations...
