England Cricket

Not a happy bunny!

First, there's a wretched great big advertising blob in the middle of my screen 😡

Secondly, Rory Burns needs his ears boxing! He was batting beautifully, only to throw his wicket away with a one day shot - the reverse sweep!! This is TEST MATCH cricket Mr Burns!! (Aptly, he was caught by Mr Pants 😂)

So, 67-2 at lunch.

BUT 263 -- 3  holds great hopes for that poor Mr Root to boost his, very average, average up to where we and he would like it to be ( i.e.  some where about 500 per wicket would do nicely for now  )

So have a nice fresh carrot or three and  cheer up JR, Be a happier Bunny 'tis only day one  

Eating carrots will only improve my vision (apparently) thus making that 'blob' even bigger!

Really impressive performance by Messers Root & Sibley. The latter batted superbly and was unfortunate to be dismissed with 3 balls of play left.

I read that Mr Root is hoping for 600/700 runs - I think he means the team - so looking forward to another day tomorrow.

4 am Crikkit till 12.30, followed by quick lunch and then 2 Six Nations matches. Bliss 😀

That sounds like a right load of ****s to me, matey  

Fascinating stuff, 355-3 at lunch. Two or three dropped catches, a missed run out, a couple of good decisions by the umpires and some super batting. A great morning session but how did Stokes survive before getting off the mark?!

Brian, get out your pit and tune in 😁

I've been " Tuned in " almost all of my life, JR  

and I'm not in a  pit, but close to the top of the hill so there  

Sometimes I wish I wasn't so tuned in

HM,  looks like I'm not going to get a leisurely breakfast at all this week with some very competitive Test  crikit in India

Wickets falling everywhere, one day crikkit (that's how it's pronounced in this part of the world) shots on day four in an effort to set the Indians an improbable target. Who said Test match crikkit was boring? When will the declaration come? Can Jimmy rip through the top order?

Too many questions. Enthralling stuff as I look through window at artic blizzards outside 😀

Baffled why England batted on without trying to score quickly. After being eventually bowled out i hope they have left enough time to get the 10 wickets needed for victory.

+ 1,  Whittakerr.  I think that too many players are scared of taking a calculated risk these days
