I was listening and Aggers commented that it was a toss to lose because both captains really had to do the positive thing and bat first, which struck me as insightful.
yes hindsight is a wonderful thing, and no doubt had the openers got through the first hour or so, as opposed to failing first ball, it might have got a bit easier, but both sides have had very little batting prep against a red ball, so whilst batting is "positive", bowling might have been the pragmatic choice.

Am I alone in being quite satisfied with 147?

The radio reports this morning led with the commentary of the first ball and I was expecting 61 all out or something. When they finally go to the total it felt like good news.

Still going to lose the series 5-0 tho.

I've just seen the highlights - lucky they marked it out or it would have been hard to see the pitch against the rest of the square :okay:
 

Beebo

Firm and Fruity
He scored 178. Snooker early in the frame, opponent coughed up 44 in fouls (11 misses I assume and the 11th left a chance) and then he cleared the table for 133 break.

All here. The snooker was difficult but he had plenty of easy escape shots, he just kept trying the perfect escape.

Interesting but it would be very hard to mastermind something like that.
Especially the total clearance at the end.
Nah too much happened after all the penalties and before the break, including the guys who won accidently potting the pink.
