    The way Simon Doull was speaking Crawley may keep his place as B Mac likes to stand by his players.

    We might not want to change a winning team no matter how rubbish he's been.

    Wow just wow.

    Bairstow and Stokes put on 179 in 20 overs in test cricket.

    Back in the 80s and 90s the team tactic would have been drop anchor and bat out the draw.


    I feel being 2 up and Crawley in no form at all and everyone else contributing i think Compton should be given a deserved opportunity.

    Just for the record Ben Stokes has now scored more test runs than Ian Botham.

    He needed that innings but he's some credit now :D He is one of my all time favourites but had obviously been struggling going straight to test cricket from two months of Indian slog.

    So here's a thought, whenever you have a desire to express your sexual urges - just don't. Nobody cares. Nobody is interested. Your taste in sexual partner is not of any significance to anybody but yourself. While I'm sure your unnatural desire to discuss your fantasies with online strangers makes sense in your sick mind, for the rest of us it's just a bit awkward and weird. More importantly, the objects of your misplaced lust would likely be revolted by your cretinous lechery.

    Hope this helps.

    I still can’t grasp why they chose a squad just for 2 tests.
    I don’t recall that happening before.
    Does anyone know why ?

    I can only assume that McCullum was new to the role so wanted to give the usual a chance in home conditions. Can't wait to see the third test squad to have a first idea of what B Mac has planned. He was always a joy to watch. An all time t20 team would have him in.

    I’m sure Misbah of all people has it. 50 ball tonne I think for a blocker.

    I remember Botham took 99 balls and everyone thought that was amazing.

    How times change

    Still got it and it doesn't get any better for a Kiwi than to do it in a home test against Australia. An all time T20 dream team he'd have to be in with KP and De Villiers.

    Makes you realise how good Richards 100 was and still is all those years before 20/20. Amazing knock.

    Edit:and Gregory's in 1921!
