Gringo Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 All very nice amongst the bowlers, sharing the wickets around. I reckon england have a chance in this game. PAK 64-7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumerican Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Should win by an innings thanks mainly to Broad and Trott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colleh Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 So that's them two guaranteed a starting place in Oz. Bell will come back to replace Morgan, and england will start with strauss, cook, kevin legend pietersen and collingwood all struggling for form. And thus the ozzies will regain the ashes. Who should we pick instead of any of those players then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWeedMcGrass Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Pakistan cricket team at centre of alleged match-fixing controversy Mazhar Majeed, a 35-year-old London-based businessman, has been accused of accepting £150,000 from an undercover journalist in return for telling Pakistan fast bowlers Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif to deliberately bowl three no-balls last Thursday and Friday. They have spoken to me and I have tried to answer their queries,” he said. “We will cooperate all the way with them in these investigations.” Yawar denied reports that officers had confiscated mobile phones and laptops or that police had found money stashed in players’ hotel rooms. “That is not correct,” he said. Asif confirmed he had spoken to team officials. “The management have told us something happened, but not what,” he said. “The management will tell us more later.” Video footage of the meeting between Majeed and the News of the World reporter, who was posing as part of an Asian gambling syndicate, shows the businessman accepting the money and insisting that the three no-balls “have been organised” with the Pakistan team. “This is exactly what’s going to happen, you’re going to see these three things happen,” Majeed said. “I’m telling you, if you play this right you’re going to make a lot of money, believe me.” Amir and Asif did bowl three no-balls at the times specified by Majeed: Amir’s first ball of the third over and Asif’s sixth ball of the 10th over last Thursday, and the third ball of Amir’s third over on Friday. On each occasion, the bowlers overstepped the crease by a significant margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gringo Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 His T20 form is fine, it's his test form that is lame. Or maybe it's his money grabbing antics and resulting loss of county games that brought htis on. Which seems more likely now that he's been loaned out.

chrisp65 Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 went along to the T20 today, good game overall, the likely winner shifted from team to team a few times which kept the crowd entertained with England appearing to be scoring faster but also losing wickets faster. this is a slightly long winded one that probs should be in general chat: (edited as spectacularly boring on second reading, I basically got £135 worth of tickets for £40 due to admin error) second thing, Pakistan bowled a wide, most people thought this was pretty funny. One guy had turned up prepared and started waving a big single sided A4 colour copy of a twenty pound note and starts shouting he just won a ton at the bookies. Everyone thought it was funny except the stewards that took his A4 single sided twenty off him as you're not allowed to have counterfeit currency!!!!!

Gringo Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 As the person who started this thread, I reserve the right to have the whole damn lot DELETED !! Very miserable about the Bears; does anyone have any idea what is going on at Warks ? They seem doomed now so will Ashley Giles survive ? Would it have made a difference if we had a top-rate overseas player ? Has there been too much emphasis on recruiting Warks 'old boys' - Dougie Brown, Keith Piper,Graeme Welch et al. We might have a nice new pavilion next year but we will be in the 2nd Division ! Dare I say it but will Ian Bell look to leave Well thanks to Hants victory over Kent today, Warks' future is in their own hands. Beat Hants in the last fixture (Monday-Thursday) and they stay up despite averaging one batting point per match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloman Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Yeah Dead right Gringo. Couldnt we even stop up if we lost to Hants and Kent lost to Yorkshire ? Wonder what will happen next season; they are losing Tahir back to Hants and batting looks a tad fragile. perhaps a late bid for Pieterson (just a joke !)

Gringo Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Yeah Dead right Gringo. Couldnt we even stop up if we lost to Hants and Kent lost to Yorkshire ? Wonder what will happen next season; they are losing Tahir back to Hants and batting looks a tad fragile. perhaps a late bid for Pieterson (just a joke !) All three bowling points in the bag. Just need to get to 350 for 4 batting points and then two days rain to get the three points for the draw and it all sets it up nicely for Lords on Saturday.

Milfner Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 Flintoff has retired from all cricket. And Warwickshire only need another 30 to win after bowling Hampshire out for just 130 in their second innings, with Woakes picking up 5 wickets. Really helps having Bell back in the team, a bit of quality in the middle order, we put in a good first innings for once and go on to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandy Posted September 16, 2010 Moderator Share Posted September 16, 2010 The mighty Bears have won again. What a turnround. Certain to go down about 5 games ago. It's turned into a pretty decent season, with one final still to go. I'm really pleased for Ashley Giles, most of all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloman Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 The mighty Bears have won again. What a turnround. Certain to go down about 5 games ago. Couldnt agree more. I tell you what; I think the Villa could win the League after that turn-around in form. But - note of caution - surely we have to bring in some new players for next year if we are not to endure this drama again. Any ideas ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blandy Posted September 16, 2010 Moderator Share Posted September 16, 2010 I think they've said that there will be money for new players. With Trott and Belly away for so much of the time, they need to get some quality into the batting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
