Yeah. So good.

Astonishing how KP went from a part time spinner to one of the greatest batsman of all time in just a few years.

As did Steve Smith

England vs Australia, 2nd Test

Day 1: Toss delayed due to rain

The Wedge says: Not looking good for play, so disappointing, i have been looking forward to this game!

 

[Agent_Smith]

Ah was this today?! Why did I think tomorrow. Still, reckon England will be the happier of the two teams at the luncheon break

 

[Dan C]

12.45pm local, 5.15pm IST: It's just one of those days folks. An early lunch has been taken for obvious reasons and let's hope the rain takes a break too. More updates as and when we have it. Time to swipe the food menu for now...

 

[WaxLyrical]

WI in a hurry. 97/0 off 9. 41 overs to go.

 

[Creag]

Meanwhile, in the Port of Spain, all hell is breaking loose in the middle

 

[Agent_Smith]

WI 109/0 (9.2) CRR: 11.68

And it's a 50 over game!

 

[WaxLyrical]

Gayle 60 off 30.

 

[Dan C]

Chahal to Lewis, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

WI 119/1

 

[Dan C]

Khaleel Ahmed to Gayle, THAT'S OUT!! Caught!!

 

[AirWolf]

Good start wasted...

Good start wasted...

More like spoilt by the rain. 235 after 35 is usually a winning score.

And then there's Kohli.

Teams:

Australia (Playing XI): Cameron Bancroft, David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Steven Smith, Travis Head, Matthew Wade, Tim Paine(w/c), Pat Cummins, Peter Siddle, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood

England (Playing XI): Rory Burns, Jason Roy, Joe Root(c), Joe Denly, Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow(w), Chris Woakes, Jofra Archer, Stuart Broad, Jack Leach

Australia have won the toss and have opted to field

No early start means an extra half-hour shall be added towards the end of each of the remaining four days to make up for lost time.

 

[Agent_Smith]

The Jason Roy experiment clearly not working.

 

[Agent_Smith]

Aaaaand, there goes Root.

 

[Dan C]

Hazlewood to Root, THAT'S OUT!! Lbw!!

ENG 26/2
