The Cricket Thread 2016

[PGW]

This is reminiscent of Edgbaston few years ago 8 down by lunch.

[PaulWinch again]

This is bonkers.

[oldtimernow]

they're taking wickets like Villa sign Frenchies

[manic-road]

Rogers Smith and Warner all out for 10 runs, get in.

[Dante Lavelli]

I don't subscribe to the theory that you should always bat if you win the toss, but it's important we pick up at least 3 wickets this morning.

Tick.

[manic-road]

Marsh out for 0 oooooosssshhhhh

[oldtimernow]

it just gets better and better

[paul_e]

This is brilliant bowling, playing the conditions to perfection

[Dave Cooper please]

Okay, so now and again you bowl.

E X Tras is the Aussies highest scorer so far.

[PaulWinch again]

This is insanely brilliant.

[manic-road]

Wow what a catch by Stokes, that's five out.

[KevinGage]

Well phuck my old boots. 

This spell by Broad has shades of McGrath at Lords in 2005.

[villasjf]

21 for 5 after 30 minutes

[PaulWinch again]

Again insane.

[oldtimernow]
