ECB chair calls for 'flexibility' in Test schedules to avoid future wash-outs

Richard Thompson says he will speak to ICC after disappointment of Old Trafford draw

www.espncricinfo.com

"Thompson said: "I will talk to Greg Barclay, the chair of the ICC, for sure, just in the sense of him understanding what England has done to Test cricket. We've elevated that format and reinvented the way Test cricket has been played now."

Thommo not only sniffing his own farts, but also the farts of Baz, Stokesy, Broady, Ollie, Jonny, Rishi, Pierce Morgan, crusty Lords members and most of the English.. washed and unwashed.

 

[Fangs]

Fill your boots boys let's go deep.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I say we bat until Jimmy Anderson's 42nd birthday.

 

[Eelectrica]

England down a bowler, won’t get a better chance to bat the day and build a lead around the tea break

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I'm a bit scared of our predictions, we'll probably be 8/92 @ lunch.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

f**k me 5 balls in not one charge down the pitch

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Mike Atherton has a serious boner for Mark Wood.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Its been a bad series life for bald men. Leach, Lyon and now Deadcrowbeard out injured.

 

[Haffa]

Might need to turn over the strike occasionally.

Poms complaining about the ball after 30 overs

 

[undertaker]

Come on Stokes. Time to bowl your offies, ya plonker!

Poms complaining about the ball after 30 overs

It is ridiculous how they can test it every couple of overs. Should be one chance per 80 overs and that is it.

 

[JamesRustle]

2 questions:
1. Have the Aussies complained about the ball to the extent engerlund has during the series?
2. What's the blob on the right side of the collar on the aussie shirts?

Hussein trying to create banter and be funny but just comes across as a massive sook.

Hussein trying to create banter and be funny but just comes across as a massive sook.

Just like most of the Pommy commentators.

Bring back David Lloyd!

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Can these pricks stop checking the ball every 30 seconds?

 

[JamesRustle]

Sucked in to the crowd who paid money to watch bazball style cricket... this style is a big thank you to the merkins at Lords and the merkins who think.the rain is unjust.

 

[LeedsRhinos]

Let's be honest Australia have been rubbish for the 3rd straight test after being gifted a 2-0 lead they're terrified to play a shot and seem to be trying to squeeze out another draw, England are winning this game and are the better team.

 

[undertaker]

Labuschagne's 9 off 82 balls comes to an end

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Great catch. Weird innings by Labs, just fart arsing around really, no real intent, you don't have to bazball but you do have to do look like you want to score. He got himself out in the end.
