Avfc96 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Brilliant from Roy, Bairstow and Hales so far, think we'll end up with about 450. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 world record of 481. You'd hate to be a bowler! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDuck Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 So much awesome. I'm really enjoying it at work this morning Amazing that we can have one of the best ODI sides of all time, yet such a poor test team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloman Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Do you know …. it's difficult to say who are the bigger disappointment, AVFC or Warks ! Got Kent out really cheaply - looking good for huge step back to Div 1 - then collapse ! However, I wonder if questions will be asked about 20 wickets falling in one day on that wicket.

Avfc96 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Sam Hain has produced another fantastic innings for the England Lions, got 54 against India A yesterday and then 145 today against Windies A. He really should be the backup batsman in the ODI squad instead of Billings, who has never performed for England. Gutted that Warwickshire lost too, great effort in the second innings. Shame we were so awful in the first. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted June 24, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted June 24, 2018 What a fabulous way to complete a whitewash. Let them think they've got us beat and dug their way out if it only to string them along till the final wicket then crush them. BOSTIN. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Predictably needing a bit from the lower order against India. Jennings played on on 42. Root run out on 80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Utter tripe from England. Let's hope they manage to get something out of the track when they bowl otherwise they'll end up looking like they're are, yet again, 'undercooked' in the first test of a series. Only that normally happens when you're the touring team rather than the home team two thirds of the way through the domestic season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same for both sides and tbh I think England aren't very good. Unsettled team, not enough top class players, India are a better test side, I'd say hence... Though we'll see how they bat before we can be sure of much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Just now, blandy said: It's the same for both sides Perhaps but the point is that a home side shouldn't really be playing a test in the first week of August with (most of) their players having played such little red ball cricket in the previous five or six weeks. My comment is a criticism of the domestic scheduling and not an excuse for the England batting (if the Indians bat as badly then I'd put it down to both lots being 'undercooked'). If they get this abominablee 100 ball claptrap off the ground then look at it being screwed up even more in future summers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 How do you solve a problem like domestic cricket?! I think I'd rather try and sort out something a bit easier like Brexit or Racism 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it reasonable to add, ' not a very good captain' to this ? I wonder if England could have picked someone for their captaincy skills rather than playing ability in much the same way they did with Mike Brearley. Must confess, I can't think of anyone off hand though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowychap Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 And now some good stuff from Stokes. If we were undercooked yesterday, India are looking raw today. 19 hours ago, blandy said: Though we'll see how they bat before we can be sure of much.

snowychap Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Now we're shelling catches. Two drops at slip in two balls. Poor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Excellent batting from Kohli but this is really terrible from England. Undone (virtually) all of their good work from earlier. Malan owes everyone some runs in the second innings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Outstanding day of test cricket. Can't really call which way this test will go from here. I think I'd prefer to be in England's shoes as batting in the 4th innings will be tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
