Well that was a first. I just googled a googly Googly - Wikipedia I wonder if you can wiki a wicket? Well bugger me, yes you can! Wicket - Wikipedia (This is the 'let's fuck with Americans' thread isn't it?)

The commentator has just said: "Oh! Bell has just been beaten outside off stump" A common-or-garden cricketing phrase which may confuse outsiders somewhat. A classic line delivered by the commenter, Brian Johnson, during an England vs West Indies game where Micahael Holding was facing the bowling of Peter Willey: "the batsman's Holding, the bowlers Willey" And the funniest thing that has ever been heard on radio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aIagPztV-s

So, no new ball taken and no declaration by stumps. Will England declare or will Root be given a chance to get 200? Usually we can expect the weather to help make the decision but another two days of heat and sun seem assured. Personally. I'd like England to bat it out then spin the Ozzies out for under 100 on a disintegrating wicket.

Sounds like the ball is spinning at right angles. Ozzies not even bad enough to touch it.

No need to panic yet, it just needs a couple of wickets and everything changes.

Re: Cricket...Nobody understands Cricket.
Tempe writes: On that note, is there something similar in Cricket to the hand signals used in baseball to tell a batter whether to bunt, swing, aim for a walk, crowd the plate, or any other option required at the time? No. There are always two batsmen at the wicket all the time so they just walk up to each other and have a chat. Instructions are also sent out from the dressing room when drinks are taken.

Re: Straggler Oval-Tastic
Looks like you're having a nice day in terms of weather, but batting is sloooooow.
