Didn't the English umpires used to wear those coats?

They had some footage of Dickie Bird dressed in the long white coat firing out an Alderman victim with distain after shouldering arms to a straight one.

Nice swing. Just need to settle on a line and length

Nice change from Indian conditions

India have just announced that Mars has been added as a test venue.

They found water on Mars, didn't they?

Only a rumour. Bit like Calcutta.

Starc is bowling well, I think.

 

[grizzlym]

Would you be thinking of changing your name if it was Root?

Getting a bit of seam

Future England captain.

I reckon he's getting the odd ball to come through quicker than the batsman expects too.

Blofield is in exceptional form this morning; wanting people ejected for walking behind the bowlers arm, asking Tufnell when he last did a somersault & raving like the genial crackpot he is.

Umpire checking the light already according to the ABC. Is it that bad?

Yes

I am sick of Athers already

 

[grizzlym]

Atherton's tie is a treat.

 

[grizzlym]

Yes

I am sick of Athers already

He loves himself and that's all that matters.

Light's fine. I think the umpires like to set a benchmark for later on

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Like Patto_Man's aggression.

It's sunglasses, shirts off and getting faint from heat exhaustion type conditions for the UK. Standard cricketing day, really.

 

[grizzlym]

I like not having a speed gun reporting on every ball too.

 

[Spanish Sahara]

Yes Patto Man!!!

 

[Langford4FBOTC]

Loose shot by Cook.

 

[grizzlym]

Gotta like that from Patto.

 

[Henry Jr]

Patto!

Love the footage of the one-tooth village idiot hooking into a sandwich. Forgot how much I like to see the eccentrics in the English crowds.

How is Grizz Jnr enjoying his first ashes experience?

Clever bowling from Patto. Teased him into trying to flay Patto through the off-side with one pitched full outside off-stump.
