Cheg Jul 2015 7:58pm, 16 Jul 2015 294 posts	0 Cheg I have been offered a ticket for the fifth day. I ask boss at the start of the day if I can have some short notice holiday. He is leaving me hanging and not giving me a definite answer. Fear the tickets will go. Nightmare!

That was a seriously dull day of Test cricket; there were no chances or excitement whatsoever. Great if you're an Aussie (or a batsman) but it's done the game no favours (and I think I'd still be saying that if England were 3 ton and several for one)

longboat Jul 2015 8:13am, 17 Jul 2015 2,945 posts	0 longboat Based on yesterdays pitch, that is a safe bet Cheg - good luck with the boss Question is, what do England need to do to get a breakthrough, or are we already playing for a draw as the dark lord says?

I see Lyth lashing the ball to boundary, and then getting out, I see balance caught lbw in his crease and bell looking dodge, 30-2, long day today, long day tomorrow. Cook, it revolves around Cook.
Crash Hamster Jul 2015 10:16am, 17 Jul 2015 504 posts	0 Crash Hamster Morning Wrigglers, morning everyone. I'd planned a day off for today, but have come to work to do some admin, it was so dull yesterday. I will at least have it burbling away in the background. Quite frankly, I reckon my granny could play on this with a stick of rhubarb. She may not be good at quick singles, on account of being dead, but she'd probably play well behind the wicket and straight down the ground.
