    I’m from Gloucestershire, and always remember when we were at Cheltenham at a county game my dad would tap me on the knee when we were struggling. Don’t worry son, Courtney will sort them, he usually did lol.

    And the women's match, England set Australia 154 to win.

    Amy Jones (40* off 21) has given her side something to defend as they were looking well short a few overs ago.

    I've always hated cricket badly..

    Been twice to the Oval. Once with school and despised it and the other with pal's on a * up for Kent and Middlesex or something and it was torture. * drips infront of you in tiger outfits drinking pimms doing Mexican waves....paraffins. We lasted about 10 minutes, went to the bar bit down the stairs then * off an hour later for a booze round Kennington :giggle1:

    No gonna lie though. Last couple years I've watched the ashes and got in to it. Better when they're getting pumped as well. Don't understand it all but it's a fairly decent watch......any other cricket and it gets swerved..

    Cricket and golf were the 2 sports I couldn't watch so although I still can't stand cricket overall or anything outwith the ashes when I stick it on....golf now wins hands down. You couldn't pay me to sit through 5 minutes of golf on the telly..

    I'm in the same boat, cricket is good when it's England being beat. Golf is only good when it's the ryder cup mealy for the fans alone, its getting worse and worse behaved to the stage it's like Happy Gilmoreish. Tennis, athletics and horseracing I can stand. I'll watch rugby if its Scotland or again if England are on course for a scudding.

    Yes if there is a theme here, if I can watch something where England get pulled off their perch I'd watch!!! Hahaha

    *what's the * with the koko the clown blazers and ties? Yi kin yer posh going to the cricket like that!

    The Indian premier league and the T20 World Cup are a brilliant watch. 3.5 hours for a full game. I love them.

    For people new, skeptical or casual, 100% agree. Any of those T20 comps, IPL, BBL etc or The Hundred (which is another variation which they have here in the UK in August).

    Bairstow was out, end of. I wish Broad would shut his * gob as well. Almost kicking off with members as they come off as well. Like a pantomime, but stokes can’t do it again can he…? First few overs next up will be worth the watch.

    Game over.
