OT- Breaking News
 
Just saw this on the net:

England are six runs for no wicket in their second innings at the close after West Indies declared on 749 for nine wickets in their first innings on the fourth day of the fourth Test in Barbados.

WOW! :eek:

England isn't the team they used to be.

I don't understand metric baseball any more than I understand metric football.

A Sticky Wicket ???
 
Mark Padgett: Have you switched from officiating croquet to officiating cricket? Why? Does it pay better?

Ya could have predicted this. It always gets crazy like this when they play in Barbados. Day five will usually settle things down.

No, I don't officiate any sports named after insects. However, if this game was named after Connie Steven's character on Hawaiian Eye, I would reconsider.

Mark Padgett: This has go to be the most obscure reference you've ever posted on the Forum. You've outdone yourself this time. And don't forget the very young Robert Conrad, before he started putting batteries on his shoulders, and how about that "dreamy" Troy Donahue.

Googly! The match ended as a draw. England were 600/6 before declaring in their first innings and were 279/2 in their second innings when the match was drawn.

I went to two days of test cricket in London last August when it was England v. Australia. I had a great time, although we got rained out of almost an entire day.

Padgett would NEVER officiate cricket. Matches can go 3 days or longer.

So, they ended the match as a draw? No OT? ;)

Dangit! I laid the cash on England and took the points! Never bet the spread on cricket.

They play 5 full days in a test match. If the match doesn't end in 5 days, it's a draw. It's why both England and the West Indies declared in their first innings. Declaring is the equivalent of me getting 10 runs in a baseball inning and then turning to the umpire and saying "we've had enough." In cricket, it's a legitimate strategy.

Once England fell behind, though, they kept batting in their second innings and played for the draw.

Apologies to the real cricket experts on here. Compared to them, I am a hack.

Continuously? No ale breaks?
