Absolute **** coward with the bat We can't win every game. If any blame can be assigned, then it should be someone like Crawley, who doesn't score enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wrong, he's level with Steve Waugh ay 10,927. I've cost us the test. I apologise wholeheartedly, I wentearly and credited Root with an extra run at that moment. The VT curse has sprung to life immediately and we've lost by.....that one run. My bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happened to him at Headingly against Sri Lanka in a game I went to about 9 or 10 years ago, too. I hope you didn't do anything then either? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 9, 2023 Moderator Share Posted March 9, 2023 Oh no. It snowed and England are playing a T20. Now I have no choice but to sit down with a cup of tea and a bacon sandwich and watch the whole thing. How awful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted March 9, 2023 Moderator Share Posted March 9, 2023 We didn't really bat well enough and you'd expect Bangladesh to take it from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One ODI and one T20 in a row, we won the ODI series 2-1 and I’d expect us to win the T20 series too despite losing today. The one-day form seems to be suffering a bit though in general I think at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robby b Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Wow what a fantastic T20 series there from the world champions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I thought they were a bit complacent, if not arrogant in not replacing the injured batsmen and played too many bits and pieces cricketers. Bangladesh are a decent side these days, I think the ODI series was the first home series they lost in the last 7 so they shouldn't have taken them that lightly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and next-door to cricket mad India too. Plus, although I knew that Bangladesh is the country with the highest population density in the world, what I didn't know till today is that it also has the eighth biggest population! 165 million! (In that little land area, blimey). So this makes me feel a little better about losing 3-0 to them. Just as well it was only a three match series.

sidcow Posted April 16, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 16, 2023 Can't believe The Bears are going to blow this. Put themselves in an incredible position to win the game after losing an entire days play but just can't get the final couple of wickets. Agonising.

sidcow Posted May 7, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 7, 2023 Wow, wow. A stunning bowling performance from The Bears. When I started lunch they'd declared after losing a whole days play and got Hampshire into bat, they were 26 for 1. Now Hampshire are 34 for 7 Victory looked very unlikely even with a massive lead but they've put themselves right into it now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stunning result. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted May 11, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted May 11, 2023 Wow. Warwickshire and Rushworth at it again. Lost most of the days play so you suspect it will be a draw. The Bears put Essex into bat. I checked a shot while ago and after a couple of early wickets they had Essex 70 something for 2. Just looked in again and Essex are 76 for 5. Rushworth has 4. It's unbelievable Jeff. Could they possible bowl them out tonight? Would be amazing. Plenty more rain delays in this match yet though I suspect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Middlesex 165 -1 to 209 all out Dan Worrall took 5 wickets in 26 balls for 1 run weather could be a factor but hopefully Surrey can chalk up a few runs tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
