50 on debut for Agar!

[Frank97]

All square, are we ever going to get this lad out?

[Frank97]

I agree, if I'm honest!

[jim360]

It would be a tame end if he goes out first ball after lunch or something. Hope he makes 100 then out.

[jim360]

NOOOO!! Agar out for 98!

[berniecuddles]

gutted for him bloody well played young man

[Frank97]

A good knock that! :-)

[jno]

yes, I can't remember when I last wanted an Aussie to make 100, but this time I did.

Cricket - most mind numbingly boring sport ever

Astonishing rollercoaster of a day - followed it by a mixture of text messages and occasional bits of internet radio on the phone.

Nicely poised now - if you offered England, when they were all out for 215, "all square with just two wickets down by the end of the second day" they'd have bitten your hand off.

Bring on Day 3

(if this is boring then god knows what joeluke would call exciting - a 0-0 draw at Accrington in the rain perhaps?)

[joeluke]

A 0-0 draw at any football match in the rain would be infinitely more entertaining than any cricket match

A game played for up to 30 hours over 5 days without guarantee of a winner at the.............oops sorry, nodded off there

[jim360]

Well, no-one's forcing you to pay any attention.
