And they were exhausted by the end of day 3 last time out.

The First Test to take place in Belfast between Ire & Zim was nicely poised with Ire needing 158 runs to win, they are 33 for 5 in 8 overs The Zims have a couple of big units bowling bouncers and Ire just crumbled

That might be a bit harsh. He was caught out by an unexpected, much faster delivery. Credit to the bowler.

I only watched it for a while, including that bit and Smith knocking it out of the park. He's very handy with the bat as well as with the gloves.

^ he didn't need to take it on imo, anyway Smith and Woakes ensured we got a lead that's put the Windies under pressure.

Indeed, they have really turned this match around.

^ I'm well aware of Engs test schedule you muppet, it's you showing your ignorance as usual if you fondly imagine any of those series are a patch on keeping in Australua. Do you drone in Eng pubs in Chiang Mai like you do on here, you have to be the most tedious cvnt on here and that's some accolade. Then again you are an Essex boy.

Oi! Finest county. Ever.

Back on topic.
A fine day to be batting.
Bashir spinning from one end, Wood hurling down fast balls from the other. One wicket gone already.

Maiden 50 for Louis, great effort. The Windies will likely lose but they have some positives to take away

You think Pakistan and NZ away are a doddle do you?

Imbecile

Well, WI didn't last long after lunch.
Stokes is opening and is in T10 over mode...

Fastest 50 by an Eng erm adopted Englishman

I guess they wanted to finish before tea. Took 7.2 overs to finish off.

Good to see Woody get rewarded.

It's a shame Woakes is so poor away from home.

.Former England Test batter Graham Thorpe has died aged 55, according to the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).

Thorpe played 100 Tests for England between 1993 and 2005 as well as 82 one-day internationals.

1st Test against SL on 21st Aug and Stokes has done his hammy.

Well that's very sad.

Amanda Thorpe has now revealed in an interview with the Times that Thorpe attempted to take his own life two years ago before doing so earlier this month. “Despite having a wife and two daughters whom he loved and who loved him, he did not get better. He was so unwell in recent times and he really did believe that we would be better off without him and we are devastated that he acted on that and took his own life,” she said. “For the past couple of years, Graham had been suffering from major depression and anxiety. This led him to make a serious attempt on his life in May 2022, which resulted in a prolonged stay in an intensive care unit.

“Despite glimpses of hope and of the old Graham, he continued to suffer from depression and anxiety, which at times got very severe. We supported him as a family and he tried many, many treatments but unfortunately none of them really seemed to work. Graham was renowned as someone who was very mentally strong on the field and he was in good physical health. But mental illness is a real disease and can affect anyone.”

Thorpe’s daughter Kitty explained the reason behind the family being ready to share news of his issues with mental health. She added: “We are not ashamed of talking about it. There is nothing to hide and it is not a stigma.
“We were trying to help him get better before and trying to protect him, which is why we said nothing. This is the time now to share the news, however horrible it is. We’ve wanted to be able to talk and share and we’d now like to raise awareness, too.”
