    Anderson caught and bowled Morris. This is a glorious thrashing

    ah no I agreed with that, although didn't expect this score.

    I just meant you corrected yourself over the 351/353 score and had made a mistake over Stokes just before. Was just a little joke :)

    haha no need, just enjoy it :) Certainly didn't think a follow on was possible with 350 on the board.

    I had been hoping the game would go to a 5th day, so I could go on Monday!

    Unless the saffers have a great comeback, this will be another one sided test match. This has been a frustrating series really

    It's nice when it's the other team having a collapse!! Makes a change.

    I agree in that spell after lunch TRJ was exceptional but Broad wasn't really threatening. I was shouting to get Jimmy on as he's most like TRJ who was making it talk.

    All in all a thoroughly decent day of cricket. Day off work, said goodbye to the kids, had a giant cooked breakfast, said goodbye to some giant kids at Liverpool Street bogs, then drinking all day! Got a can to drink on the train right now :) so the cricket.... Shame cook didn't convert, Bairstow stokes and RJ fun batting, especially the stokes 6 where the fielder fell into the ropes.... Then we whooped them! RJ bowled well, broad was scared to pitch it up. His wicket was about the only decent ball he bowled (it was a snorter) and Anderson was ok. Stokes bowled well too, but it was tame for the spinners when the light dipped

    Sounds like a great day's play today. You definitely got lucky today with the weather, barely got 40 overs yesterday

    Being the cricket nerd that i am, i couldnt help but notice the number of bowlers who bowl right handed but bat left. England have Ali,Jimmy,Broad and Stokes, and SA have Morkel and Rabada.

    I think I've said this on here before, but there's s school of thought that says right handed people should bat left handed. And vice versa.
    David Gower is a high profile example a player who subscribes to this view - a right handed person batting left handed and he used to encourage young players to play the "wrong" way.
    It's all about eye dominance - your dominant eye is usually the same side as the hand you throw/write etc with, but if you bat the other way round in cricket, your body lines up your bat with your dominant eye, so you should be able to see the ball onto the bat more effectively. Or something.

    Kind of makes scence but if you are right handed playing left handed, would this then effect technique

    What a pleasure it was being there yesterday. Stokes bringing up his hundred with 2 6's will be a lifetime memory and then to knock over the first 7 so quickly was brilliant.

    We went to the Fentiman Arms after & I got home about 10.30, having arrived at The Beehive at 9am.

    I think it's tricky because instinct tells us to hold the bat the "right" way round. But if you encourage your child to hold the bat the other way from an early age, they'll pick it up quick enough.

    As it happens, I'm left eye dominant and I write left handed and play cricket right handed.
    Having said that, I throw right handed, kick right footed but play snooker left handed. I'm also almost as good at darts with my left hand as I am with my right (and I'm not bad!)
    Make of that lot what you will! :smiley:

    Very special for TRJ. 5 wicket haul on debut. Plus, it was five of the top six!

    Batting unlike bowling or throwing is a 2 handed activity, so whether you bat right or left handed, you are still using both hands, so I can see the logic of batting "left handed"

    It does seem to be a relatively recent change though, seeing that previously left handed batsmen were much rarer

    Really like the look of westley, drives like an absolute dream, just needs to remember to open the face of his bat outside off.

    i can never understand what people 'get' by signalling a four with their hands - we all fecking know its a four without you waving your arms about - nearly smashed a guy in the face who was sitting next to me at The Oval the other year who did it - ended up just putting my arm up when there was a four - he got the message.

    Currently getting soaked at The Oval. Doesn't look like we'll be resuming play anytime soon.
