There's a touch of Winnie the Pooh about Bairstow, somewhat portly, dopey and docile.

Guarantee he let out an "Oh bother" when he got stumped.

Looks out to me

This is what happens when you don’t make any effort to score runs.

 

[GrumpyGoron]

Well damn, we're cooked now...

Yeeep. At least it looks like the sun is out a bit more now? We weathered (hehe) the storm there a bit but ultimately lost wickets for little progress on the run chase. Time to get assertive.

Gah!

Time for the Bison to shine

Glad Labuschane is out..SR of 10 is disgraceful. I don't need to see a 100 Sr but that is just mounting enormous pressure on everyone else and is the perf3xt way to lose a test match. Stop being a selfish kent Marnus.

 

[Feeling Groovy]

Well damn

I don't even know if I bother cracking another beer at this point. What a disappointing evening of cricket so far

Sucks but we retain regardless of the result. More lols to be had if the series is a draw considering we were completely dominated last test but rained out.

Whilst they have bowled well, our lack of intent this morning really put us in a hole.

100% . Waaay too defensive at the crease. At this rate we wont even break even and will have to chase a decent total.

Update: I cracked one

 

[Ochre]

That was ****ed

 

[Feeling Groovy]

Looked like it ran off the face of the bat

 

[Mulldogg]

Carey you absolute idiot.

 

[Feeling Groovy]

Well that was stupid

 

[UseR2006]

Just dumb cricket. We've been getting away with it for most of the other matches due to weather or Englands poorness but we were bad with the ball and now paying for bad batting as well.

Wouldn't surprise me if we get smashed in this match.

 

[Biggie]

That’s enough for me to say goodnight

How ****ing braindead are these campaigners?

 

[Mulldogg]

Labuschange’s self indulgent knock has cost us here. Really poor cricket.

Needed to at least rotate the strike. 9 off 82 balls is garbage.

Really need to get close to knocking off the deficit with these two.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Really starting to wish they'd taken those catches now.

That is an incredibly low average fourth-innings score. Is that a full (10 wickets lost) average or does that include innings where the last team batting is only chasing a small target and therefore only need to score 40 or 50?

That’s the type of figure you expect to see on an Indian pitch that just completely deteriorates into a minefield by the last innings.

Not sure. I'd imagine that it's for completed innings.

Other venues have similar drop offs.
