Aubrey Maturin Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 India need 286 to tie up the series against SA. Can't see it as ball keeping low and Philander should scoop a pile on that track. AB made a good 80 and Kohli got a fine for being a cock. Always nice to see the arrogant Indians lose at cricket so hopefully SA do the business. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 The ECB have cleared Ben Stokes to play and he is expected to join up with the squad in New Zealand. They have said that because of the expected time until the trial it would be unfair and disproportionate to stop him playing until then. Disciplinary proceedings by the ECB against Stokes and Hales will be put on hold until the legal process is complete. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Maturin Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 SA skittle out India for 151 to win the series. Debutant 21 year old Ngidi takes 6-39 and Pujara gets himself run out twice. Remember I said big Vernon would take a plethora of wickets in 2nd innings, well he got none. I ken my stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmothecat2 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Stokes hearing is apparently on the same day as he was due to make his international return against New Zealand. Bit of a pisser. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorlomin Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 A pretty competitive one day team. They might choke Oz to below 300 here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 A pretty competitive one day team. They might choke Oz to below 300 here. Disastrous collapse from the Aussies, you would expect England to chase down 270 without too many problems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topcat(The most tip top) Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Every time England get things wrong there's calls to change absolutely everything get things right in 4 years time. Just got gubbed in an away ashes series? It's clear that we need the Kookabura ball in county cricket, We should stage Durham vs Lancs in Dubai etc... Made an arse of a tour to the subcontinent? rearrange the whole English game to suit young spinners! Of course nothing gets done because other priorities soon move up the list Except, seemingly, the fall out from the humiliation in the 2015 world cup . The ECB would appear to have made a concerted effort to focus efforts on 2019 and stuck to it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmothecat2 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 We look good in ODIs. Looking at Australia's scorecard vs England tells a tale. Warner scored another century at a good run rate, but there were very few contributions from the rest of the batsmen. With England the runs were shared across the team and even the batsmen who didn't contribute a huge number of runs managed to get what they did quickly, at a much better rate than the Aussies. Woakes looks a different player in the ODIs compared to the tests. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the financial focus is on one day games, but you'll never convince me they have the same gravitas as test matches. I'm all for playing tests at 4.5 runs per over, FWIW, so I'm not just a cricketing luddite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Joe Root plays his 100th ODI tomorrow, currently averaging 51.7 from 93 innings. Superb figures, only Kohli, De Villiers and Bevan have a higher average from that amount of matches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Maturin Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) 181-4 for convicts in response to England's 303 where Buttler who should be in test team getting a ton, They now require 7.4 an over Smith just given out and the frog faced twat is raging. Looked in real time like it carried so given out, in response the replays are inconclusive. Vaughan says it's out, umpires say it's out and pleasingly the Australians are seething. Oh and KP is rimming Mark Taylor saying it's not out. * Comment from Vaughan, "Taylor is Australian and Pietersen may as well be these days".

Eednud Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Just been watching the U19 WC Quarter Final. England had Australia all out for 127 in 33.3 overs. Along comes spin bowler and ranga, Lloyd Pope. He took 8/35 off 9.4 overs as England all out for 96 in 23.4 overs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Stokes won't fly out to join up with the squad until after his first court appearance.Root will sit out the tri nation T20 tourney, will be back for the ODIs before the test series in NZ. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) 90/6 at the moment with Moeen and Woakes trying to steady the ship. Looked like full on no fucks being given mode earlier on. England were 8 for 5 early on. Edited January 26, 2018 by peasy23 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
