OutByEaster? Posted January 15, 2022 Moderator Share Posted January 15, 2022 Seventeen wickets on day two then? Apologies to the TMS team for my criticism yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloman Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Back to 'The Big Bash' ; didn't realise (Sir) Ian Bell was Coach at Hobart Hurricanes . Surely with his class and track record a place could be found for him in the England batting set up. They certainly need something - or didn't he play for the 'right' County ?

Only2McInallys Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Our batting displays have been mostly poor on this tour but I do think we don’t give enough credit to their bowling attack. Cummins in particular is probably the best fast bowler in the world at the moment and they seem to have an inexhaustible supply of other incredibly tall accurate bowlers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 yeah sorry, my fault. 90/3 now. Got the feeling of subsiding for 150 all out now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 4 down. Here we go. Stokes has been **** useless this match, given his wicket away twice in critical conditions in an innings. Sidney aside he's been poor all series. going to be bowled all out tonight obviously now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 101/5 Root gone now. Albeit, unplayable ball, shouldn't be keeping that low on day 3 for **** sake. Definitely all out now. None of the players will be arsed about coming back tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted January 16, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 16, 2022 I'm really suprised Woakes hasn't been promoted up the order. Games gone now anyway but I'd have put him in ahead of Pope and Billings and hope he sticks around. What has Stokes done to justify his inclusion in this tour?

sidcow Posted January 16, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 16, 2022 What the hell was that from Billings? Just a tame chip straight at the fielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a **** garbage set of cricketers Indeed, they might as well come out to bat wearing three-point-hats and curly slippers, as they are all jesters.

Rodders Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 124 all out. Sack them all. I don't give a damn what some of these players did a couple of years ago. Need a new, 1,2,3,6,7 for the windies. Bring in Foakes, retire Buttler from the test team. Sack all of burns, hameed and crawley. They can **** off to oblivion for all I care. Stokes should only play if he's fit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted January 16, 2022 Moderator Share Posted January 16, 2022 2001 runs in the series - England very, very close to averaging under 200 over ten innings. We can criticise the bowling, the fielding, the wicket keeping and the selection, but if you're only scoring 200 runs every time you go out to bat, you're never going to win a test. For comparison, the last time we were in Australia for the Ashes, we lost the series 4-0, but scored 2,595 runs in nine innings at an average of 288 an innings. This is the worst England batting line up I can remember in my lifetime and I grew up in black and white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PussEKatt Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Another question from a cricket newbie. If the batsman hits the ball for a 6 and a fielder catches it,is the batsman out or cant he be caught when he hits a six ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he catches it outside the rope (and the fielders feet are outside the rope) it is still a 6. If the ball is outside the rope in the air but the fielders feet are somehow inside. The batsman is caught out. Edited January 20, 2022 by AVFC_Hitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 What if he catches it as it flies over his head BUT his feet are inside the rope ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
