England in Sri Lanka and West Indies

[mattitouk]

A dog on the field stops play!!

Iv'e seen pigeons, seagulls, crows, i think even once a cat (or perhaps a young hungry baby fox)... but i can't remember a dog?

Anyone else?

 

[AndyT]

There was a pig during The Ashes a few years back. Think it might have been 74-75 or the 86-87 tour.

 

[AndyT]

I think it's fair to say Bairstow is pleased with that century!!

 

[Southminster Shrimper]

I think i remember years ago a cobra came onto the pitch during a game in India.

Well done Bairstow good knock. No.3 sorted now hopefully - just sort out the openers now and we have a solid team.

Was there?? Honestly.

Or was it just an over weight ozzie?

A snake, i can understand, no doubt he tampered with the ball.

But a pig?

 

[Blueronron]

Would hate to see JB if someone annoyed him :-)

Bet Foakes is thinking please donot let me bat with him

 

[AndyT]

Yep, it had all the mic drop stuff as well.

Fair angry old Jonny was!

Here he is :-

Well you learn something every day!!

I was at a 40 over match a couple of years back at The Oval between Surrey and Essex when play was stopped when a fox came onto the outfield.

In the end, they couldn't shift it so they carried on playing around it!

 

[AndyT]

Jonny's out.

Secure the ornaments in the changing room!

 

[mattitouk]

Bairstow out for a brave 110.

England are now on 262-5

If we can make somewhere between 380 and 420 all out.

I would be as happy as AndyT's video of a pig in shhhheieeet!!.

EDIT:

LOL...I managed to avoid the swear filter..

the word "shhhheieeet" has to come from the classic film Pulp Fiction.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

I was an a 50 over match a couple of years back at The Oval between Surrey and Essex when play was stopped when a fox came onto the outfield.

In the end, they couldn't shift it so they carried on playing around it!

Wasn’t that a squirrel?

Or is that a different match?

[Blueronron]

Just read Root has won the toss for the eighth time on the trot

Must be a record for test matches, amazing sequence

312-7 . Close of play.

I feel iv'e upped our batting game beyond my own expectations.

360, is more realistic now.

You've got me thinking now.

Tried googling but no reference to either a fox or a squirrel.

It was this match :-

0.4% chance (235/1)

Given the amount of test matches that have been played I imagine other captains have had similar runs, but into 10 or 12 (0.024% or over 4000/1) matches seems very very unlikely.

 

[Blueronron]

Seems 8 is the record by one player, we have had 12 winning tosses but over two captains
