Pakistan beats England at Lord's in the first test match by 75 runs. Misbah scores a first innings century in his Lord's debut, Woakes and Yasir Shah take 10 wickets each, and Pakistan's prodigal son Muhammad Amir takes the final wicket to seal the victory for his country at the scene of his crime and nightmare 6 years ago. Fantastic stuff!

Fucking awesome, even if Woakes is now good.

cobl04 · 07-23-2016, 10:18 AM

Second Test a bit different. Root just got caught slogging... for two hundred and fifty fucking four.

cobl04 · 07-26-2016, 01:31 AM

Sri Lanka 5/79 at lunch on day one.

cobl04 · 07-26-2016, 02:59 AM

I'm calling on whitelinewireless.com if you're interested.

Vlad n U 2 · 07-28-2016, 04:39 AM

21 year old Kusal Mendis with 150+ against Australian, highest score for a Sri Lankan batsman against Australia in Sri Lanka. That's ... pretty good.

Axver · 07-28-2016, 04:44 AM

Sri Lanka urgently needs some good young talent too.

NZ skittling Zimbabwe early in their first Test, as if anybody is surprised.

Vlad n U 2 · 07-28-2016, 04:47 AM

They seemed to see a lot in Mendis seeing as he had only played a handful of FC games for just the one century. Sandakan looks like he might be good too, just need Chameera to get back in and I don't think they will do too badly.

cobl04 · 07-28-2016, 06:26 AM

Injuries to Chameera, Prasad and Lakmal and Eranga's action is under investigation. Four of their five first choice Test bowlers alongside Pradeep (who's improved a lot).

I've been commentating on White Line Wireless which has been a blast. Mendis was just amazing today, amazing. Very interesting Test match set up. Nath Lyon 200 wickets too.

Vlad n U 2 · 07-30-2016, 01:43 AM

Old man Herath weaving a path of destruction on the fifth day. 3 wickets in the first session.

Vlad n U 2 · 07-30-2016, 04:33 AM

Sri Lanka win! Australia let through something like 20+ maidens in a row.

cobl04 · 07-30-2016, 07:52 PM

I'm very happy.

Zim and WI both getting destroyed though

cobl04 · 07-31-2016, 06:34 AM

Looks like Zimbabwe are going to lose by an innings but a century for Sean Williams. Huge talent, amazingly only his second Test.

Vlad n U 2 · 07-31-2016, 06:44 AM

Definitely deserves it, I'm glad they showed some good fight in the second innings.

cobl04 · 07-31-2016, 08:38 AM

Even that innings shows that they deserve more games. Would be a great thing if the likes of themselves and Bangladesh got more games.

The local broadcaster had a technical glitch and couldn't show the game, which is awful.

I'd love a Test championship with tiers.

Vlad n U 2 · 07-31-2016, 08:42 AM

Aren't we getting that soon? The test championship? I think most teams are in favour of it and it's going to happen from what I understand.

cobl04 · 07-31-2016, 08:43 AM

Really? Got a link? I think it's only ever talked about.

Vlad n U 2 · 07-31-2016, 09:20 AM

Nah, you're right, it's being 'planned', my bad. I was sure it had been confirmed. It would be a great thing anyway, and absolutely want to see Ireland and Afghanistan playing test cricket.

Axver · 07-31-2016, 04:53 PM

Huh, I thought the Test tiers thing was a done deal too.

And I feel bad for the person tasked with being enthusiastic on the Black Caps' social media accounts.
