England tour of South Africa - 2019-20

[beechcroft]

This was from a Cricinfo article. If this had been any other tour, I'd say it was made up:

During training the coach, Chris Silverwood - who claimed his only Test five-for here 20 years ago, bowling at a pace (around 95 mph) that would impress even Archer - narrowly missed a collision with a fork-lift truck.

Should just sack it off and come home now

Whyever would you do that? Think of all the memes we'd miss out on if they did that

Let’s look on the bright side though. A 4-0 defeat should hopefully cause Root to drop the captaincy. Burns takes over for Sri Lanka and for the subsequent future. We get rid of the white ball shitters like bairstow, Buttler etc etc. Recall Foakes. Future looks bright.

But because it’s England cricket it’s likely absolutely none of that will happen. Happy days eh.

If Zak Crawley gets out for six or less in the second innings, he finishes the match with a first-class average of under 30.

Someone please get Chris Dent on a plane

 

[Ed Smith]

Someone have a word with Dom Sibley about the height of his stumps please. Played like he thought they were 5 foot tall there

Where would England be without Benny? Probably losing an Ashes series 4-0 one imagines....

Aye, you need to be quite in future, proper put the mockers on him

Stokey playing on his back foot, probably trying to set up a fancy stroke. One cannot premeditate shots on this pitch, if you do; you'll find yourself wanting

 

[Yorkshireman]

England cricket . Joke.

 

[Ed Smith]

Rotten this, on a pretty flat deck as well - two best batsmen* trying to score at a run a ball

 

[Ed Smith]

Broad

 

[Dutch]

Oh my just When you thought it couldn't get worse:

small comfort: Broad has nearly reached double figures for the series with his batting: things are on the up!

Aggers was being a bit ambitious when he said an hour ago we could do something terrible and be out for 250.
