Romey 1878 Posted December 11, 2021 Report Share Posted December 11, 2021 The England players have been fined 100% of their match fee for a slow over rate. They should have lost it due to being fucking inept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 England being outplayed and embarrassed once again. There's another three matches of this shite . Cornish Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted December 19, 2021 Report Share Posted December 19, 2021 I have to smile. The English press like to pretend that England has a good cricket team, but then they play Australia or India or some other top-notch team.

Just saying. And I didn't see a single pundit anywhere suggesting England would win the current series so not sure what English press you're getting that impression from.

Perhaps Steve was confusing the format of the game? England are actually very good with the white ball! Tests sadly played with the red... and I didn't hear one positive prediction for the current Ashes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 Early wickets, a bit of hope so I can go to bed secure in the knowledge that when I wake up we'll be screwed again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowlers pulled it back and then the batters fucked it up. Again. Hopefully this series will be the end of Root as captain because I think he's terrible at it tbh.

Cornish Steve Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 Wow! I know England are poor, but 68 all out? Unbelievable. Scott Boland took 6 wickets for 7 runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 Silverwood should hopefully go after this series as well. And our batters really need to stop being over-rated. Root in the same bracket as the likes of Kohli, Williamson and Smith? Not for me. Buttler one of the best? Certainly not in Test cricket. Stokes only turns up every now and then, but mostly does nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 We, at least, finally managed to bowl them out twice....and got into a decent batting position in both innings (78-2 & 68-0) but then lost the other eighteen wickets for 166 runs Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweeted just 12hrs ago to about a fellow cricketer passing away. Kinda' hits home how precious life is. I'm not a fan of cricket at all (quite the opposite) but Shane always came across as a really nice, down to Earth guy. Horrible news to see, at such a young age too.

MikeO Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 What an effort from Leach and Mahmood, already in the top forty highest run tenth wicket partnerships in test history; and if you just looked at partnerships involving 10 and 11 rather than an established batsman shepherding a tail-ender they'd be way higher. Great stuff after some pretty abject efforts by the top order. https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/283526.html Ah shit.

But, we've not had our secret weapons, Leach and Mahmood, in tandem yet so all is possible tomorrow. Maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 Women have done well to turn things around after losing their first three matches in the WC, effectively every game since that has been a "must win". Big ask to beat Oz in the final but hopefully they can make a game of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
