Cricket 2019 part II: arise King Jofra

[Cuellar]

Full pace bowling attack it seems.

[sevendaughters]

Root-era cricket probably my least favourite in many respects. Probably thinks him and Denners can hold an end every test now.

[Inspector Norse]

At least he's good at tossing. England to bat again.

To be fair to him (?), SA have binned Maharaj too.

[Thursday]

Sorry Bess. Should have got 10 wickets.

[Inspector Norse]

Another 30ish pacer coming in too. I guess it's all the guys who've been waiting around for a chance while Steyn, Philander, Rabada and Morkel had the spots sewn up. Ngidi seems to be the only young player coming through.

[Cuellar]

DOing alright here

[sevendaughters]

yeah, their heads have fallen off like Jorrrsh Hazlewood's did against an angry Ben Stokes

[Cuellar]

Last time England had a 100 run opening stand was Cook and Jennings in India in December 2016.

Jinxing it here.

[Cuellar]

And Johannesburg was the ground where Hutton and Washbrook put on 359 for the first wicket in 1948.

[Inspector Norse]

Crawley has beaten his high score in every test innings he's played so far, at this rate he'll be ranking as the best ever in a year or two.

Played excellently here although SA have been really lacklustre. I was out back throwing a few balls just now and I reckon I was bowling faster than Pretorious or Paterson.

Apparently they are going to bring Jennings back in Sri Lanka as a horses fuck horses pick. If Crawley goes on here and gets a big score, that idea will surely be scrapped.

[Inspector Norse]

Oh good, time for a collapse.

[Harry Badger]

Oh look, Denly got 27 again.

Normality resumed.

[Thursday]

Ahhh this is more like it.

What happened when Stokes walked off? Looked like he was about to lamp someone in the crowd.

I think someone in the crowd gave him a mouthful when he was walking off.

[Inspector Norse]

Stokes' reply reportedly something like "say that to me outside the ground you foureyed little cunt".

Not smart, whatever was said.

[sevendaughters]

go away for 2 hours to do some work and it all happens!

[iamcoop]

Wasn't aware of that. Pretty fucking stupid that like.

[sevendaughters]

fans are animals and the ICC stinks, Stokes should have been allowed to go after him willow in hand

[BlodwynPig]

Return of the Thuglife

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Wasn't aware of that. Pretty fucking stupid that like.

Yep, but to be honest I am kind of in the Merv Hughes camp when it comes to little twats shouting from the sidelines. Tear a strip off them. Biowaste.

Stokes' crime was shouting something so banal.

[Thursday]

"knobhead" "four-eyes" Absolutely no patter on this lot, but really what do you expect of an English cricket team?

[Thursday]

Apologies for the language you may have heard in that clip we've played back multiple times and will play back again right now.

[Harry Badger]

Apparently the guy in the crowd made reference to Ed Sheeran.

Yeah if this is true, then Stokes would absolutely be justified in going full Eric Cantona on a small child.

[Pingers]

Stokes' reply reportedly something like "say that to me outside the ground you foureyed little cunt".

The Guardian reports that Stokes is sponsored by Specsavers. Maybe they'll just change their name to Speccyfoureyedcuntsavers

[Dr Trouser]

Yep, I applaud the 'Trevor Brennan approach to heckling
