The (Jiminy) Cricket thread (spoiler)

[thom]

I have lost track of cricket a bit recently, but there's definitely something I can't recall from going to Lords in the old days in today's picture.

Can't quite put my finger on it yet

There's always been a herd of Zebras at lords, keeping the grass cut.
You don't normally see them as they lie naturally camouflaged against the picket fence on the boundary.

edit : 113/3 is not good progress

I reckon the zebra could have batted with a bit more ambition than we have today.

Chris Gayle could have scored 1200 runs in those 1st 60 overs - we managed 122

201/8 - I don't think England will make it to lunch...

 

[AndyRM]

I do love a Glorious Collapse.

 

[thom]

232 all out

Pretty average stuff from England again. Matt Prior has been rescuing them lately but it won't work every time.
England's bowlers ought to do well in these conditions though so it may not be as bad as it looks.
Thom-type optimism alert!

We'll have a few wickets before tea. Look, there's one already!

They must be getting ever so tired, poor wee lambs.

And Jimmy's 300th Test wicket.

 

[Beebo]

Oooh this is going to be a roller-coaster afternoon.

England all out before Lunch, and already got the 1st NZ wicket!

 

[Beebo]

NZ now 16 - 3

This could be all over before tea!

 

[Dayvo]

At 0*, extras still have a chance of making the highest score: 9 to beat as it stands at the moment.

 

[yello]

5 down now. Game over?

 

[Beebo]

Oh dear, I am almost feeling sorry for NZ now.

6 wickets down,

Broad with 5 for 22!!
