Remember about a week ago I spent my 'free kick' or Rory Burns' arse, and the consensus was I'd chosen poorly?
Would you all like to apologise now, or haven't you seen his dismissal yet?
Cock.

Zinger of a stat from the granuid: that was Root’s first (presumably test but they weren’t specific) innings live to a terrestrial TV audience.

I have no problem with calling Burns a cock and kicking his arse for that ridiculous, Fat Gattesque dismissal.
However, I also want to put this out there....
Lawrence played all round a straight ball that would have hit the middle of middle. His bat came from gully to cow corner. He might have got 73 on debut, but he has a long, long way to go to convince me.

We need an arse kick of the day vote.
I’m also going Lawrence.
1 wicket down at lunch is a decent start to a test. Burns almost got us there 0 down, and even after his dismissal that backwards baseball cap wearing arse only had to block with a straight bat for a bit.....

I've seen Lawrence play at Chelmsford many times but not seen him up close and not (to the best of my recollection) heard him interviewed.
I believe his father is a, ahem, 'diamond geezer' and a 'proper character'?

Actually, while you're here, TRO. Remember you called how this year would pan out, and have been right so far re covids and lockdowns and such?
Spectators at county grounds this year? You reckon it will happen?
