Painter Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 (edited) Looks like our spinning department is now a digit short. Said digit has a blister, and owner of said digit has been a naughty boy... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/65943656 Mind you, not really surprised when he bowled 20odd overs yesterday when his average spell in over the past few years has been about 4 overs long every couple of days...

Painter Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 6 down, with a lead of 200.... I think we need the last 4 wickets to add another hundred... maybe moeen can add a large number to make up for his possible inability to bowl later... Having said that, we'll probably declare just after tea with a lead of 250... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we'd blown it until we took those late 3 wickets. "Decent" weather tomorrow morning could be crucial... let's hope its a great final day 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
