LMU - I think Libro means there's no point in comparing a score at Edgbaston from 20 years ago to one now. Different players/teams/weather/everything.

 

Presumably we're playing out a draw then, GHA.

 

 

[GHA EFM]

I bloody hope not.

 

Anyway, that's tea-time.

Yes, and another thing I hate is one-word-posts. I completely agree with Zeals rant from the other day. You come onto the board and see 5 new messages and think "oh, I wonder what new and exciting things people have to say today" and are confronted with 5 posts from Halifax Lass trying desperately to flirt with Thornsy <img src="/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

Just trying to get some free tickets!

Has lunch finished yet?

Nasser's moved in ahead of Butcher, and could be seen to be going for it.

 

All the commentators are predicting a draw.

Trescothick's just got his 50

Practically impossible for us to win now, I'd have thought. We'd be daft to try, and best to just protect our wickets.

Just try to increase their average.

 

Btw GHA, does this...

The ground can make a huge difference. If the wicket is flat, hard and with few narrow cracks there's a greater chance of more runs. Large cracks, a little damp and maybe even uneven and you've got a bowlers wicket - fewer runs. Apparently this wicket has kept quite well so runs should be easier to come by (though obviously we are still talking about England here).

Blimey, talk about patronising - I realise all that LMU - what I meant was, the details of the highest 4th innings winning total at Edgbaston are irrelevant. The highest 4th innings winning total ever in a test match would be of more relevance.

Honestly you go up north and look what happens. <img src="/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />


Sorry Mr Libro, must have mis-read your post.

[GHA EFM]

Bad light has now stopped play.

[Little Miss Urchin]

Well, that looks like the end of the first test then.

 

Roll on Thursday I say!
