Sanga just want to play Byrom bingo later

by Dav3theRav3951 9/21/2017 12:46:27 PM
He's human after all.

by StaggerBreaths 9/21/2017 12:43:20 PM
Does Sanga make enough runs to compensate for his drops?

Vish: Byrom dropped! Sangakkara at first slip, moving to his right, shells it. And to add insult to injury the ball hits the helmet.

by NemoUKS 9/21/2017 12:42:51 PM
'...huge appeal led by dancing @Hoddfather behind sticks.' Please let there be a video of this.

by StaggerBreaths 9/21/2017 12:40:21 PM
@StaggerBreaths Swine!

by Geoff Eisenhauer 9/21/2017 12:40:06 PM
Byrom dropped

by Geoff Eisenhauer 9/21/2017 12:39:47 PM
Sorry Dez, I quite like Somerset. Not enough to want Middlesex to go down in their place, however.

by StaggerBreaths 9/21/2017 12:39:27 PM
Mine, I think.

by StaggerBreaths 9/21/2017 12:38:53 PM

He does bat well when injured though.

by Dave Knibb 9/21/2017 12:35:32 PM
@DaveKnibb Get him back I say

by Geoff Eisenhauer 9/21/2017 12:34:55 PM
Eh, Lancs. won't need him, they'll chase this down no bother.

by StaggerBreaths 9/21/2017 12:34:51 PM
Doesn't sound good then.

by Dave Knibb 9/21/2017 12:34:24 PM
@DaveKnibb Gone to hospital

by Geoff Eisenhauer 9/21/2017 12:33:45 PM
Any news on Hameed?

by Dave Knibb 9/21/2017 12:33:16 PM
Bother. Time for another bottle. Back soon. i May not be sober by the end of the day.

by Geoff Eisenhauer 9/21/2017 12:29:26 PM
Bartlett & Byrom definitely won't get out in single figures today

by dez dezzy 9/21/2017 12:28:28 PM
Also Dernbach definitely on track for a six-fer.

by StaggerBreaths 9/21/2017 12:27:09 PM
Being sincere, which is not the way to go about things, is it. I mean, Lancs. should knock these off easily! 400 minimum for Sussex!

by StaggerBreaths 9/21/2017 12:25:58 PM
@NemoUKS Yes!

by Geoff Eisenhauer 9/21/2017 12:25:38 PM
Too early for Byrom 35-45 bingo?

by NemoUKS 9/21/2017 12:25:15 PM
@StaggerBreaths Turncoat or mockers?

by Geoff Eisenhauer 9/21/2017 12:24:47 PM
If Sussex and Lancs. could capitulate wetly this session that would be much obliged.

by StaggerBreaths 9/21/2017 12:23:45 PM
I said it!

by Geoff Eisenhauer 9/21/2017 12:21:55 PM
Oh no!

And roughly six times more entertaining.

by StaggerBreaths 9/21/2017 11:54:25 AM
Fun fact: Darren Stevens is in fact younger than all but one member of "Boy"zone

by NemoUKS 9/21/2017 11:51:04 AM
Derbyshire v Kent game, an absolute farce, no play for 3 days, game was moved to an outground to accommodate a Boyzone concert! Imagine if one side had promotion riding on the game.

Benny Howell's first FC game since August 16 and gets a new high score...
