This was ages ago. Return game now
Do I remember correctly that this series was supposed to be a trial day/night test? Or am I imagining it. and if I am right, what changed?

 

[Son_Of]

don't remember sorry. if you're right it'll be in the cricinfo articles for the first test.

trott's on 175* :clap:

you all don't know how lucky you are that england play a decent number of tests. we have one series this year and that is just 2 test IIRC.

wish Trott wasn't with the England team.... Warwickshire are shit with out him

maybe at fault for the run out though...

funny article by andy zaltman on cricinfo about trott's Test average going from Neil Mackenzie's to Viru's in one match!

some of my friends are going to the next Test at the w/e but i have prior dull, unpleasant but lucrative arrangements!
