The Cricket Thread

[Deutsch Wolf]

Geraint Jones slogging one straight up in the air was maddening. Thought we'd had it then.

Jamie Overton effectively calls time on his short test career by taking an indefinite break from it to concentrate on white ball cricket.

 

[Tredman]

I'm also taking a break from a test cricket.

SA win the toss and bowl first at Headingley

England: Jamie Smith, Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Harry Brook (c), Jos Buttler (wk), Jacob Bethell, Will Jacks, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Sonny Baker.

South Africa: Aiden Markram, Ryan Rickelton (wk), Temba Bavuma (c), Tony de Zorzi, Tristan Stubbs, Dewald Brevis, Wiaan Mulder, Corbin Bosch, Keshav Maharaj, Nandre Burger, Lungi Ngidi.

Brook has bags of talent, but needs to make better choices to make the most of it.

Comedy gold batting

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

These players NEVER playing 50 over cricket continues to come home to roost.

As debuts go, Bakers is one to forget...

RavBop turns back the clock with a 46 ball 105 not out for Northants vs Surrey in the T20 blast quarter final.

The Currans are so shit

 

[Sniffer]

Cracking game and bye bye Surrey. Proper crowd too, with travelling fans celebrating a team that means something to them.

 

[Stan Hullis]

SA ticking along nicely at 212-3 after 38 overs.

I don't think I would win much by betting that England won't find it quite as easy in the second innings.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

"Sir, our bits and pieces bowlers are going round the park, look nowhere near international standard and can't take wickets"

"I see. Call up Sam Curran"

 

[Tredman]

Bring back Overton.

[jd1981]

Englands bowling attack across all formats is one of the worst I’ve ever seen, certain players getting caps who wouldn’t even have been close 6-7 ago

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Bloody Overton playing tomorrow

 

[Tredman]

Bring back Overton.

Another round of September county championship games ending in rain affected draws. Worcestershire looking likely to be the only team capable of losing...
