Old fashioned test cricket.

Didn't watch much of this yesterday but even the Barmy Army seem to have been joined by loads of mongs these days.
Saw a clip of a load of them in a swimming pool type thing and they weren't interested in the cricket at all.

I suppose they were enjoying themselves :D

Collingwood reckons the pitch is bad for test cricket.
Don't agree.

This is attritional cricket, how tests should be

Yep, really impressed with the Windies.
Chase got a nightmare ball
Bradman couldn't have kept that out.

Jason Holder has turned into a very solid test player.

He was quite erratic a year or so ago, but seems to have matured a lot
Would expect him to move up the order a bit

Indeed, however I think the game might already be out of our reach as I cannot see us scoring 300 second innings.
I hope I am wrong...

Deficit looks like being around 120-150 at best.
Hard to see our batters showing the same stickability as the Windies

Exactly.. we would need 300+ just to make them need somewhere between 150-180...
Highly unlikely to be a draw either so it is looking rather bleak

Amazing the big fast bowler is out there after his mother died this morning.

This is the session that counts, any more than two wickets is a WI win

Just a little, Stokes was dropped but I doubt it will be consequential
