Ah well, nevermind.

It’s ok. No one can score more than 269 in the fourth innings anyway 

*263

He’d have been better off dropping Jimmy. 

Yeah and played Woakes in every test. Some pretty dismal selection decisions in hindsight.

Yeah Jimmy has come to the end of the road. 

The rain's coming down about 10 miles west of the Oval and is heading east.  Might save Stoke's blushes yet

What he should have done is fallen tot he floor and dragged the ball along the grass to steady himself. That would have been fine apparently.

the reporting on this is a bit harsh, on the replays from the back view angle it looks like his knee knocks against his hand as he’s coming down from the jump, rather than it being entirely due 2 being a wally with the celebration

precisely correct Oracle.

Lessons from this series:

1. Stay in your crease for at least 5 minutes at the end of each over just to make sure nobody on the fielding side fancies a shy at the stumps

2. When taking a catch, present the ball to all corners of the ground and have the umpires conduct a brief ceremony before throwing it up in the air in wild celebration

3. You can be a ‘sore loser’ even if you don’t actually lose

50 miles south it is pissing down so surely it's only a matter of time before it's rained off?

Wot FF sed.

Restart 1620

Risky finally gets a “prediction” right (when he posts 5 mins after the announcement is made)

Your comment is stupid jim, as it was a statement of fact not a prediction. As you yourself recognize by having put quotes around the word. 

I thought I’d make a comment on your intellectual level for once Risky.

This thread certainly didn't have much of a shelf-life.............
