The Bear and The Bishop Ep67
Manage episode 400255753 series 2943140
Once again, a very warm welcome to the Bishop and Bear. We’re enjoying a little bit of breathing space between the 2nd and 3rd India Tests and the England team are enjoying themselves too with golf and family time in Abu Dhabi. Not Rehan Ahmed though. The lad thinks golf is for old men and he’ll be catching up with a Turkish TV series about the Ottoman Empire instead.
Our guest this week is no stranger to the bar in the old Bishop and Bear. She has a stool and pint glass with her name on it. It’s the one and only St Annie, county cricket natterer and matterer supreme. And there is so much to talk about, starting with the dismissal, or rather non-dismissal, that has had our Guerilla WhatsApp group in a lather of excessively verbose opinion.
So here are the things we meander our way through with plenty of detours en route.
· Neil Brand – out or not out?
· Visakhapatnam Test
o 20’s and 30s don’t win you Tests (Alastair Cook)
o Blowing the Jazz Whale’s trumpet
o Brilliant Bumrah
o Jimmy Jimmy
o Can Shoaib, Tom and Rehan learn fast enough to haul England back in front?
o Is Joe Root trying too hard to Bazz?
o Runs in Rajkot
o Changes for Third Test?
· South Africa C getting what CSA deserve in New Zealand?
· U19 World Cup – India and Aus into the final
· County Cricket Matters – What’s coming up?
Settle in, enjoy your drink and do please get in touch and let us know what you think.
Cheers!
