Roach drops the big fish!

Joseph to Stokes, 2 runs
Stokes has been bounced out....Almost bounced out. Chest-high lifter from Joseph, Stokes still dares to hook, but only top-edges it. Roach runs in from long leg, tumbles forward, gets his hands to it, but the ball bursts out. Will go down as a dropped chance

Darn!

Better get him early after lunch! 250 is too much.

That sounds like a really difficult catch to take

It was and he almost had it

Good to see you, VOR.

Looks like it took a dropped catch off Joseph to bring you out of hiding.

Wasn't that hard. He got there in position easy enough after making some ground,two hands on it and then spilled it. If I was the bowler I would have been deeply disappointed.

Roach to Stokes, no run
Dropped! Stokes again... tempted to drive and he sent it uppishly straight to the man at extra cover, where Shamarh Brooks puts down a simple chance! Roach the bowler this time, and that's the second life they've handed England's captain
Roach gets a shot at redemption but Brooks foils it.

In reply to Drapsey Hey Droopsy. Long time no see. I see you got your wish regarding Blackwood over Cornwall. I wish Blackwood the very best.

Blackwood an allrounder now?

Anyway, just for the info, I'm a huge Jumbo Corn fan.

That was an easy catch, Roach wanted to play superman

Seriously, VOR. I'm a huge fan.

When posters here were calling for him to lose weight, get fit as it were, I was his strongest supporter who wanted him to remain in his natural form.

I still anticipate big things from the big guy.

In reply to voiceofreason Mikey Holding said that he was away for a few minutes and so asked them to show him a replay of the Brooks drop...said he had to ask for another replay as he couldn't believe that a catch as straightforward as that had been put down
