At home, in ideal English conditions, we are not just losing we are being absolutely hammered, could be by an innings and some. I’m looking forward to the realisation that Root is the wrong choice for captain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnh Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 There is no danger of England being accused of 'fixing' the defeat against Pakistan. No one would make it that obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely different performance this time round. Bowlers and batters remembered how to do their jobs! I actually think it benefited us massively that Stokes and Wood were injured. Stokes has looked tame since he came back into the fold, and Wood’s only plus point seems to be that he bowls quicker than the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Bit special today England, wish I'd not gone to the cinema; looked at the score as we sat down (30 overs in) and I said, "....if we carry on like this we could hit 500..." and we bloody nearly did!
