Get to fuck, winner? I've only just logged on, give me 5! 🤣

Totally agree with you. Had we won the toss, it would be nailed on 2-0 to us. I wonder if Root checked whether or not the coin had heads either side?

I agree totally den but I fecking can't, can I? (what's the emoji for steam coming out of ears?)🤣

✌️You didn't even have the good grace to 🤝. Darwen Rangers JFC do you though? (even though I haven't lost, it would be with pleasure as always. Care to match it?)

I always endeavour to do just that James, then take a view. What about yourself?

All Indian 'reviews' now gone. Could be crucial. Target has got to be 200.

52-5 🤔? Make 120 and bat again? I only ever played local 'pub' cricket (jim mk2) but tennis was my summer sport of choice, where I managed to play at county level until late teens, for my sins. I've always loved watching cricket however, Tests in particular, I bow to your superior judgement 'James', how many caps did you get? I'll keep my 'pearl diver' in my pocket, seeing as you didn't take me up on it. I still think that when 'the fat lady' eventually sings, it'll be 2-0 to the England!

'Out of the box thinking' : It wouldn't necessarily be the worst result imaginable, should we even have to 'follow on'? Park that thought for now: Cometh the hour, cometh the man (again) All hopefully hail Ben Stokes!!!!

Bugger! (16-2) When will we get again, 2 openers worthy of the name? Come on Joe Root and Dan Lawrence!

That'll do! (329 all out) Now opening pair, patience is a virtue!

Morning Jim, pleasant as ever I note!. Well I don't have a crystal ball, so I guess we'll just have to see, eh cocker?... Moreover, I did hear that you're a fellow 'Old Black'? That being the case and seeing as you asked, do you have any of these? Rhetorical question by the way, I know that I'm still the only person to have a full house!

Come on jim, surely you're not to losing a 'pearl diver'?

Fiver England win ?!🤝

I agree but hopefully we'll not be batting last. Please (FFS) step up to the plate: Burns, Sibley & Lawrence. These 3 build the foundations for a decent score and we'll win (IMO) The difference between this pitch and the one for the First Test is unreal. I'm certain Mowbray has had some form of influence in the preparation of this wicket! We need to be patient and build a slow score for 2 or 3 sessions and could have done with that Yorkshire 'two hat' Boycott in his prime! Then let loose with the lower order. (Yeh, I know ever the optimist) COME ON ENGLAND!!! Test cricket is simply the best, particularly when we're not doing bad at it!

Alternatively, glass half full version: skittle them for 350ish either side of lunch. Spend 5 or 6 sessions at the crease, averaging 80/90 runs a session, we won't need to bat again! 2-0 England, with Jimmy back for the third Test. When was the last time a touring nation whitewashed the home nation in India? (dunno the answer btw, but I'm curious?) I can't wait to get up at 4am! COME ON ENGLAND!!

👌👊 5 knuckle shuffle Tony, defo!

COME ON STUART, YOU KNOW IT'S WORTH THE EFFORT!!! Keep the faith pal. WE ARE The Rovers!!

WE ARE THE ROVERS!!! (I don't advocate bringing back GB as manager btw) S!!!

The bloody irony Richard, sad but true my friend.

WE ARE THE ROVERS!!! WE ARE THE ROVERS!!! forever-and-ever-1-fanchants-free.mp3.webloc

He's between the fecking sticks next week. He's got to be some good somewhere surely......

Let's get some of the old songs rocking round Ewood and away grounds once again when we're eventually let loose.....forever-and-ever-1-fanchants-free.mp3.webloc we-shall-not-brfc-fanchants-free.mp3.webloc we-love-you-rovers-fanchants-free.mp3.webloc
