Max Power Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I don't think it counts as live discussion as it's the change of innings, so if it does I apologise. But that was an absolute shambles. I love Rashid, but I think this is his last test outside the subcontinent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted January 26, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted January 26, 2019 I think that's his last test full stop. You can't go at more than 6.5 rpo in a test no matter the conditions. When Root bowls more overs than Rashid for about half the runs you know he is in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) Proper 90s selection for the next test. Jennings back after one game out, Foakes dropped after a handful of matches. Lathwell must be as close as he's ever been to a recall. Edited February 8, 2019 by Max Power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted February 9, 2019 Moderators Share Posted February 9, 2019 Mark Illot is loosening up in anticipation of replacing Curran as the left arm seamer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn't bother him for that if they didn't have test plans for him, would they? The dream's still on! This is it. Now or never. Get him in for the Ashes. Starc can't swing it since they stopped cheating. The dream of 65-1 off 7 overs is still on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted February 21, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 21, 2019 While the Test side may be struggling the One Day side has got to the point where it can chase down 360 without struggling. Roy definitely looked like a Test opener, 123 off 85 is positively pedestrian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted February 21, 2019 Author Paid Members Share Posted February 21, 2019 Ridiculous how in control of that chase they were. When a team chases down a big target, they almost always look in trouble at some point and England didn't. Quite worried that I now expect England to win every ODI, never felt like this before.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted February 22, 2019 Author Paid Members Share Posted February 22, 2019 Anybody following the South Africa vs Sri Lanka series? Sri Lanka will be chasing 197 to win the series, which is an unbelievable turnaround considering their recent fortunes. Always fun seeing South Africa choke.

Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted February 22, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 22, 2019 The Saffers are excellent chokers and always fun to watch. England have thrown that second ODI away. Stokes has reviewed his dismissal, and was so out even Stuart Broad wouldn't review it. That has then led to Curran not having a review for his LBW which was genuinely one of the worst decisions I've seen. I'd get killed for giving a decision like that on a Saturday, and these are international umpires. Dreadful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted February 23, 2019 Moderators Share Posted February 23, 2019 At least you get to umpire. Sunday cricket here a member of the batting team does it and gives everything in order to get to the pub quicker.  I never nicked it Cunningham you prick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted February 23, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted February 23, 2019 There is no worse thing than on a Sunday league game than hearing "We haven't had umpires appointed but we do have a club umpire" followed during the game by "Howzat dad" followed at lightning speed with "That's out son" as the finger shoots up quicker than a striking rattlesnake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PowerButchi Posted March 9, 2019 Moderators Share Posted March 9, 2019 May as well, everything else we try at opener hasn't worked so maybe just getting 30 on the board before losing the 1st wicket in 5 overs is better than getting 10 for it in 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted April 10, 2019 Moderators Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) Hameed knocked 218 against Loughborough the other day. There's still hope! I love the lad but he needs a massive season. Edited April 10, 2019 by PowerButchi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
