  1. Well this is practically win or bust now against South Africa. Just got the feeling of a once great team that has just gone on one or two years too long. Only 4 members of the squad under 30.
  2. Turns out we're not the only sports team having issues with them. They can't even get the font and size correct of the word 'England' across the cricket teams World Cup shirts. Absolute amateur outfit.
  3. That was an absolute battering. It does seem like it may be one step too far for once a magnificent team who have grown old together. Only 4 players in the squad under 30.
  4. Feel sorry for the lad who's making his debut and just bowled that over. 4 no balls and went for 17 in total.
  5. Don't think he'll go on tour to India as I can see England picking a similar squad to the one that toured Pakistan last winter, with the back-up batsmen also capable of bowling spin so the likes of Jacks and Livingstone. Can see him going and playing on the white ball tour of the Windies in December though, as I think England will rest a lot of the World Cup squad ahead of the tour of India in Jan.
  6. Hain going very well on his long long overdue debut
  7. Surely it's time to go to one shot quali? One lap, first in the Championship goes first etc meaning the person who is last gets the better conditions at the end? The traffic jams are ridiculous and will surely cause a massive accident sooner rather than later Just seen at least 6/7 cars crawling around the last corner whilst other cars were flying through on hot laps
  8. It was us, we were very very close to going to the wall under Dr Tony Moshiri to them is very similar to Lerner for us
  9. Livingstone would be so much better if he didn't try and smash every ball out of the ground
  10. I think even I may be able to hit a six out of the ground with the rubbish Ravindra is bowling
  11. If Roy wasn't injured and in bad form himself, Root would be under serious pressure for his place in the side. Hasn't hit an ODI century since the 2019 World Cup and only has 5 half centuries since.
  12. Everton getting taken over in a deal which is apparently worth £500m, even the group buying them missed making a payment of £500k to the British basketball league last summer. That's only going to end in tears.
  13. Hussain just mentioned on Sky- 13 drops and 1 missed stumping so far in this series. Shambolic
  14. I'd argue that Brook has shown he's a poor version of KP.
  15. Must be multiple changes for Headingly, firstly Foakes has to come in. I'd go as far to say Anderson is finished and Robinson isn't offering much at all bowling 78/9 mph. We also need to play a spinner, even if it is Ahmed with his lack of first class experience. Please no more Moeen, he was past his best 3 years ago and has a horrific record against the Aussies.
  16. Imagine if we were playing in Aus, our best spinner goes down injured and the opposition are smacking us around the park and then we reduce them to 311-7. Yep, I can't either.
  17. 188-1 yesterday with the sun out, Lyon goes down injured and the Aussies turn to their last tactic and what do we do. Hand them the game on a plate. All we needed to do was ride out the 8-10 overs of short pitched bowling and we could easily be 350-2 at the moment and smacking them all around the park. Infuriating
  18. Absolutely f****** braindead. There's a difference between attacking, like Duckett or Pope were yesterday, scoring at 5 an over and not taking any risks compared to the batting since which has just been trying to smash every out of the ground. Ashes are gone.
  19. Let alone this test, this could be massive for the series.
  20. Fantastic from England, bar Crawley's usual brain fade. Smashed Starc and Hazlewood around the park and put the bad balls from Lyon away.
  21. As much as Bazball has been brilliant over the past 12 months, that was infuriating. Sticking to the same 'plan' for 10+ overs and trying to bounce them out even though it was quite clear it wasn't working is stupid
