Rodders Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 "But Cook responds by driving through the covers for four. That's the 50 up for England and a first half-century opening stand since the second innings of the second Test in the Ashes." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Good first day even allowing for the Pakistan fightback from 70 odd for 7. Let's follow it up with a good second day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 (edited) Pakistan crushed by an innings and 55, are they really crap or were we really good? Edited June 3, 2018 by rjw63 shpeeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 both, like the Lords test it seems a crap first batting innings had them always chasing and behind. They didn't bat too cleverly in the second innings either mind, but we did bowl well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Next test match is in August. It looks like there are three rounds of county games between now and then (though not all counties are playing in each round). It doesn't seem like the longer form of the game is that much of a priority for those in charge of scheduling England cricket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) That Worcs v Warwicks game was a little more tense at the end than I thought it would be. Unfortunate for it to (effectively) end like it did with Barker on his arse. Cracking stuff from Moeen. Henry Brookes looks a very good prospect for Warwicks and as an international in a year or two.

OutByEaster? Posted June 10, 2018 Moderator Share Posted June 10, 2018 Well done to the sweaties, great game of cricket. Now we have to listen to them bang on about if for a decade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 it was a terrific match to watch. England did rather blow it a bit after a hot start. Run outs were both daft, Mo was needlessly aggressive having already hit enough sweet shots, but credit to Scotland, excellent effort. Should of course be in the world cup. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 conceding 371 to an associate nation is pretty dreadful though but fair play to Scotland for winning. another 2 fingers to ICC and India who dont want the smaller teams in the World Cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 In partial defence of the bowlers, the pitch was " a belter" as they kept saying on the radio. Not very much for the bowlers at all, so although there was some weak bowling, missing Woakes and Stokes in there, it wasn't particularly woeful, just a bit flat with a few poor balls in there. I think even with better bowling, 300 was still a likely score given the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDuck Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Hoping to see us hammer the Aussies today. A repeat of the ODI series aganist them earlier this year would suit just fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
