The Cricket Thread 2016

[UK Redsox]

Quickest five-fer (in terms of balls bowled) ever at the start of a Test

[cheltenhamlion]

As a tip to "how you get your porn star name".

How to get your Aussie batsman name:

Just add "b Broad" after your surname.

Stunning display.

As an aside, is Ed Smith the most arrogant radio commentator on TMS?

Boycott ?

He is certainly arrogant, but he was a top class player.

They are talking about a cricket film during the lunch break, and Ed smith is offering his critique. He was blathering on about the producer's methodology, and at one point said "As an essayist...."

Tool.

He wrote at least one acclaimed book I think. Was it on baseball? Or sports psychology or some such?

I like Ed Smith

Same here and to be fair to him he's better known as a writer and author these days. Isn't he really into his baseball?

Edit. Yes he is!

[Chris Jameson]

And as for most arrogant, it's Vaughan the Lancastrian.

I have read it.

I certainly haven't heard any of the other commentators on there (many have written books) announce themselves as "essayists".

The Aussie fight back starts as Lyth fails again.

Will he be kept in the side for the final test ?

Vaughan is a good shout, though in fairness he is quite insightful generally.

If we win this one then definetley.

The only time that I've seen Vaughan in person, he was rushing around Chillfactore looking for his kid.

I actually think the opposite, if we win they might opt to try out someone different.

Bell gone for 1

[Proposition Joe]

Bell gone. Oh dear. Aussies batting again before stumps anyone?

[PaulWinch again]

Come on England we need to capitalise here.
