Lanterne Rouge

Bigger than Portsmouth! WTF!

Are there many better sights in sport than a load of pissed off Australians having to congratulate England through gritted teeth? Mind you, Shane Warne didn`t waste any time blaming the lack of games for them losing - I made it about a minute after the close of play.

Interesting last couple of overs coming up..........................

How much longer do we persist with Bairstow?

Bit posh for them isn`t it? It`ll probably have washbasins and everything.

You`re right, it was Alice Roberts now I come to think of it. I just find it strange that it`s an episode in Bristol`s history that is hardly ever mentioned unlike Peterloo. I really knew nothing about it until that programme.

I thought I knew a fair bit about the history of the city but knew nothing about the Queens Square riots until I watched a Rob Bell programme about the Clifton Suspension Bridge. For what was Bristol`s Peterloo (albeit on a smaller scale) we certainly don`t like to talk about it much.

Lewis out of the T20 squad to face Australia so we get him back now I guess?

Now Sir Geoffrey has pretty much hung up his mic he`s slotting in nicely as replacement for TMS`s professional cantankerous self-opinionated Yorkshireman

At least he shoots when he gets the chance, really puts his laces through it.

Tom Banton opens and Lewis G also in the side. Go the Somerset lads!

It sounds like a tweet from Donald Trump

All a bit attritional now. Nice to see Azhar getting his ton though, he`s batted very well.

This is what I think will happen. Say for argument`s sake we are allowed 8k and have sold 12k STs. Take out the ones who don`t want to go for various reasons (worries about health, not wanting to wear PPE/turn up 3hrs before the game/don`t want to go if they can`t sit with their mates and a myriad of other reasons) the child`s STs that are bought but rarely used and folks who just can`t make it or, sadly, can`t afford to go in the current circumstances and any refunds that are taken and 8k would be about what`s left I should think.

It was, just what was needed. This match is becoming very intriguing and tomorrow should be good. Let`s just hope the weather doesn`t ruin it.

Tired shot that from Jos. Declaration at 600 or overnight whichever comes first? Probably gives us two days (considering the weather forecast) to bowl them out twice.

There will no doubt be a fewer who says he lives in Sunderland and pretends he went to watch the game round some Mackem`s house and will regale us afterwards about how wonderful they think the blue few are and how much they hate us. This will of course be lapped up by the deluded ones.

`if we`d bin aloud to go we wood of took 10k` will no doubt be stated at some point.

Well done Zac Crawley, 205*

Best in show for new potatoes.

Right, that`s my mind made up then - Robins TV for me!

If I have to get there 3hrs before kick off count me out. I`d have to leave home about 8 o`clock. I suspect a season of Robins TV awaits for me.

#gaslogic mate - I bet he claims they took 50k to Wembly too.

Pot & kettle methinks - the club have been fraudulently marketing themselves as a football team for years.

Did Bumble just say `the umpire`s got his ringpiece out`?
