Wicket in his first over ?

Reverse commentators curse

 

[kevalutonbee]

Brian Bennett seems to be doing very well since his decision to give up drumming

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Can we some more controversial opinions please @kevalutonbee ?

Actually, if that’s how it works, please can they be saved for the Ashes.

 

[nick logan]

Sorry if this is controversial but why exactly is Stokes in the team?

oh dear mate ?‍

Zim 265 all out.

England lead of 300.

Couple of wickets tonight and this could be all over by lunch tomorrow.

Good decision - Bennett batted most of the day so hopefully his concentration is not at its optimum

 

[Super_horns]

From the BBC:

“Joe Root will hope he is watching Sheffield United in the play-off final at 3pm tomorrow. I wonder if that's what the team talk was.“

Probably right!

 

[Banana]

507 runs today is the target to break the record of most runs on Day One of a test.

Just 10 runs short of a new record then...

 

[Inappropriate Smilies Bee]

Sensational slip catch from Harry Brook. Stokes looking more lean & mean than ever. Great Butch commentary. We can win this!

 

[whyteleafebee76]

Stokes running in nicely here, great catch by Brook.

 

[Beast of Frankfurt]

Stokes running in nicely here, great catch by Brook.

I remember when I was that athletic!!????????????

 

[Super_horns]

Zimbabwean resistance seems to have been broken thanks to some spin .

Are you allowed to say ‘butch’ nowadays, then?

 

[Gazza Bee]

All over - workmanlike performance from England but a far tougher test to come this summer. Fair play to Zimbabwe they put up some resistance in both innings and test cricket needs these kind of games to grow the 2nd tier nations.

A shadow of himself.

Cricket's the winner!!!

 

[SmiffyBee]

Anyone here play for Richmond CC 4th XI ?

At least they won the toss.

Next time they should bat first and save everyone the hassle

Need to think of the sandwiches.

 

[longtimeagobee]

Scorecards are interesting, 92 extras in one innings & 1 in the other.

One run out and a DNB.
That could have made all the difference.

Even I would get into that XI and I've not played for 25 years

 

[marks]

Yet Richmond fives played and won. Something is not right here. I played against Richmond for 40 years and they are a strong club all the way through the xi’s. I am not having it that a team is bowled out for 2. Something not right but I don’t know what

[Beecareful]

Sussex doing a Brentford in Division One ?

 

[Indian Bee]

Shreyas Iyer should be the next white ball captain of India. Best all formatted player in the world. Played one of the best IPL innings I have ever seen. How he isn’t coming to England this summer is a disgrace …

 

[Indian Bee]

Still got it

Takes me back to one day matches in the seventies

 

[Indian Bee]

Well down to Phil Salt and Liam Livingston ?

 

[Untouchable]

One of the great test innings and one of the great test moments.

Terrible scenes from Bangalore. Remember watching there the last Test Match between India & Pakistan in 2007'.

Could barely make out what Richie was saying amongst all his screaming and shouting. Always struggled to keep a lid n it, didn’t he? ??

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

At the risk of serious pelters, has anyone ever witnessed lateral movement from any of the England women slow bowlers, including Sophie Ecclestone? It all seems a bit Derek Underwood to me. ?

 

[badgerbee]

Going to the Somerset v Notts game at the end of June.

Me too.
First day.

 

[SpiderBee]

Me too.
First day.

All 4 for me plus Taunton Deane v Butfield on the Saturday

How the hell did he do that!!!! He actually looked like he had a practised technique for executing, as well! Kind of a half catch??

 

[Les Beeavinu]

4 years old from the T20 blast final - one of the best and oft repeated in highlight reels.

 

[SC]

I can watch that time and time again. Aahhh, the days when Kent were half decent.

Good result last night - cunning plan only playing half a game.
