  • Leather and Willow

    Tomorrow [our time] it's on.

    There are two ways to be fooled, one is to believe what isn't true, the other is to refuse to believe that which is true.

        A fairly even day, Gut.

        Seen enough in the pitch, though, to suggest that you wouldn't want to be the team batting last on this wicket.

        May give England the edge, but, on the other hand, I don't think England have enough in the bowling attack.

        Jimmy Anderson is Jimmy Anderson and will perform to his usual standard, but I don't see him getting enough support.

        I can see England reaching about 430, which will be just above a par score, but it wouldn't surprise me if the Aussies knock off 430 in a couple of sessions.

          430 not looking so realistic now. Will do well to reach 400 from here.

            Unfortunately on overnight here, so I miss a lot of it.

            But that sounds about right.

              What IS Leather and Willow? When I look it up it takes me to cricket articles?

              Guess being from NY has me jaded because to me it sounds like a name for a gay bar from the 70s.

                      For some reason Merv Hughes came to mind, probably that 'tache; but then one of the best exchanges of banter came to mind.

                      Hughes bowling to Javed Miandad and verbals were being exchanged. Javed Miandad then called him: "a fat ******* bus conductor".

                      Hughes bowled him soon after and ran past him: "tickets please!"

                      Class.

                            Your 430 was pretty close. I give a slight Edge to the Poms at the moment but I think we bat a bt further down, so maybe evens.
