The Cricket Thread

Not if you remember the late 80s and the entire 90s

Outside of Darren Gough I remember some very inconsistent to crap bowlers, Andy Caddick was a bit hit and miss as was Devon Malcolm. Likes of Shaun Udal, Ilot, Ealham, Mcagugue, Bicknell all got picked.
Lots of going back to old timers also remember John Emburey being picked in 95 and Gus Fraser drifting in and out. Obviously days before central contracts.

Most of the wickets today have been the result of bad shots.

I think anyone going tomorrow will be paying to watch India knock off the winning runs.
Piss weak stuff and “that’s how we play” isn’t going carry much gravitas’s

India were doing to chase down any total that was below 4 an over. They’ll do this 3 down max. Rahul will probably carry his bat

Yep Broad & Anderson would struggle to defend this but would at least push India to a 2/3 wicket win.

From 153/4 to 39/6 without doubt Joe Root wicket was pivotal highest scorer with 40 followed by Stokes and then extras.

You’ve got to take those in this situation

Archer chucking some overpitched rubbish down.

Weird leave by Nair. Carse gets him LB

 

[Wolftone]

Gill gone LBW great stuff

 

[jd1981]

Game on now

 

[Wolftone]

Review for LB. Deep looked out to me

 

[Wolftone]

Umpires call.

58-4 great stuff from Carse and Stokes

 

[jd1981]

135 needed with 6 wickets in hand, working from home tomorrow get in

That's good work from England, hoping they ram my comments down my throat from earlier.

My son has just started learning cricket at school so I thought I’d put the end of today’s match on to see if he got into it.

We’ve spent the past half an hour playing cricket in his room with a rolled up piece of tin foil and a mini baseball bat

Ace hope you weren’t bowling any body liners at him
Best way to get kids into it is by showing them it’s a simple bat v ball game

Luv it... Subbuteo cricket may be an idea as well.

Reminds me of throwing a table tennis ball against the living room wall and trying to head the rebound past my mate who was in goal. The couch was the goal.

Test match? With the ball bearing and operating the batsmen with a string?
Great game
