I want Sean to stop bowling solely because of Reggie going "BRILLIANT WILLY, NICE WILLY" every fucking ball. I'd hate to be Mendis right now so, I guess Reggie is doing his job?

No declaration

Silly IMO very negative
Good heavens! Your captain! :o

Sorry that the only thing I posted in this thread is negative but Sean Willimas has to be the pettiest and silliest and probably most foolish captain alive, together with the rest of that bunch that makes such decisions. :lol: :lol:
Hahah no surprise Conant comes in just to hammer Williams :lol: :lol: :lol:

Where have you been ?

It looks awfully petty and it could cost the side, the commentators reckon it was to do with the heavy roller more so than the milestone, Dirk predicted they'd only face the one ball and declare, he was right
I somewhat disagree.
Wasn’t I saying yesterday that Sean wants his fifty? Haven’t I made cheap jokes a lot lately about how much he loves 50s.

Then he goes out and gets his fifty and loses interest in continuing.

I am not bragging about this but I just can’t see my instinct about him with this that actually played out to a tee that I was confident enough to write about being wrong here.

Everything we have seen from Williams throughout his whole career suggests he values 50s very very highly.

Now we are to believe that in this one occasion after facing one over to get a fifty, it was the one time it wasn’t about his milestone?

Seems very very suss.

No point wasting time in the morning batting. SL have no chance of chasing this total down.
They do.
I’m really surprised people can’t see this.
Every condition is right for it to happen and go against traditional thought.

It is unusual for me but I agree with the Dogg.

Are they going to give Mutombodzi a few overs or not?

Yeah look I said it yesterday he would open himself up to criticism by batting on and did exactly that

I'm not so sure the roller has helped but Dirk mentioned it before play that he thought they'd come out to bat just so they could use the heavy roller

The heavy roller could have damaged the pitch more according to Dirk, not sure it has to be honest

I would have declared before play

What’s the merit in the keeper standing up?

I’ve just realized we’re playing England in the U19 WC!
They’re back looking a bit ominous.

Dirk is back to his negative narrative, not that it matters.
