It was incredible to watch. I made up the numbers for my school's 1st XI once; we had somehow got a fixture playing against Guildford Royal Grammar school (ex-pro coaches rather than our English teacher winging it). They batted first and got a ridiculous total for an after school game, something like 150-2; then we batted and were all out for twelve. Personal triumph though, I batted at eleven and scored two (both sketchy singles through the slips that I knew very little about) before being bowled by a full toss. Was second top scorer, someone dug in for four. Romey 1878 and Formby 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formby Posted December 19, 2022 Report Share Posted December 19, 2022 Significant progress this - a 3-0 win in Pakistan, where our record has been so poor, is quite the feather in the cap. The young leg spinner Rehan bowled really well. Very early days but what a find. Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 A bit minor interest possibly but in the women's U19 T20 World Cup semi England played Australia today. England batted first and were reduced to 38-6 and 45-7 before a bit of a recovery led them to post 99....then they bowled out Oz for 96 (after they were 96-8 with nearly three overs left). Must've been intense but always good to beat the upside-down people at any level of cricket Romey 1878 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formby Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 Amazing second test in Wellington. Very well played NZ for the win and well played England. Definitely the right way to play the game. Bailey and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 Declaration on day one of a test match? That's not a regular occurrence, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if it's a first.

Romey 1878 Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 It's not looking like a great decision currently. On a very flat pitch it didn't seem like the best choice even before seeing Australia bat on it. Formby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we'd have held our catches and Broad hadn't overstepped things would be looking better, first drop from Bairstow was criminal (Edit: stumping chance).

Cornish Steve Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 Not sure whether this comment posted to the BBC commentary website by 'Jack from Sidmouth' was serious or sarcastic: "Feel as though England are a few mistakes away from dominating this game. The dropped catches, missed stumpings and the no ball. A few of the wickets yesterday were avoidable. Take those out the game and we’re flying." There's an Everton version of this statement: "Feel as though Everton are a few players away from dominating the league. The lack of goals, mistakes in defence, and misplaced passes. A few of the defeats last season were avoidable. Take those out the game and we're flying." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be that, too, Steve. If England end up losing, I am sure you will remind us of this! That said, arrogance is often a necessary adjunct of a successful team (been part of the Australian game for years). Hopefully, if England win, you will commend the team for its self-belief, playing the Australians at their own game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England appear to have tried the former, but the Australians now have the latter. It's a finely poised game right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
