Smug git
Even a broken clock is right twice a day!

Sure, and I was 'lucky' in the last Test, too, eh!

Blowers just starting his last stint in the commentary box.

 

[AndyRM]

My dear old thing... genuinely sad to hear the last of a commentating legend.

He's doing a lap of honour apparently. I think he's been getting less effective in the last few years so it's a good time for him to go.

One of Rich's grandkids has got his phone again.

It's worse than that...
Peppa Pig wins over TMS...

 

[rich p]

Oh, I had imagined you running round the garden, with your jersey pulled up over your head, celebrating Brighton's third goal.

West Brom have got one back. I'm hiding behind the sofa

 

[rich p]

They won't get two more though.

Two wicket win, then.

Any significance? (honest question - there might be something sublime there that I didn't spot).

If the game is over today - and many punters have Day 4 tickets...why not get both these teams out tomorrow in their colours and play a "friendly" T20 or even a T15? Just for fun. No pressure.

A not unreasonable suggestion from TMS.

And presumably the Day 4 tickets refunds will be a lot of cash. So they could have made it worth the teams while

I do think the cricketing authorities don't help themselves when it comes to putting their customers first

They're better than they used to be at least, with full refunds on no play days, extra time at the end of the day etc.
I have no doubt that the players would baulk at an extra T20 withouy=t being offerd a big bonus. Especially as the Windies players are more often than not in a monetary dispute anyway

 

[rich p]

Didn't the first one day international arise from a spare day from a rain affected match?

Blimey, Adrian, how old do you think I am...

 

[rich p]

Old.

Cheers for that. I'd lost track.

ODIs were played in white kits with a red ball

How did they cope?
