Sir Tarmo Kink Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Scotland’s Kyle Coetzer is playing for Montreal Tigers just now. The game has been reduced to 12 overs a side. Him and Sunil Narine have managed to rack up 30 runs in just 2 overs... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 So out the squad for the first ashes test I'd expect those to miss out to be Curran, Stone and one of Woakes or Broad. Assuming everyone else is fit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put Curran in for Broad, and that's just a ridiculously strong batting lineup. Curran's a hard guy to leave out. Broad is pretty much living test to test, but I thought he was good against Ireland. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add Curran, Archer and Stone to that 11 and that’s your squad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Sunil Narine have managed to rack up 30 runs in just 2 overs...Today he scored 26 (highest in his team) as they made 101.George Munsey is smashing Brampton Wolves’ way to chasing that score along with Lendl Simmons. They have 82 already in less than 6 overs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Tarmo Kink Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 They have chased it....scoring 102/0 in 6.4 overs. 63* for Scotland’s Munsey, 5 4s and 6 6s! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 No pressure on Jason Roy then by getting England's best ever opener to present him with his cap last Wednesday. Nice words from Chef tbf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is excellent for the game here. I did not expect them to draw in the big names that they have, and it can only benefit the local guys getting to train and play alongside them. Gutted I can't make any of the games this time, but will definitely be making the effort next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Tarmo Kink Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 The number 1 T20 batsman (Babar Azam) and bowler (Rashid Khan) will both be there. Guys like du Plessis, McCullum, Tahir, Morgan, Duminy, Guptill, Watson, Ronchi, Lynn, Steyn, Fakhar and many more will be amazing for the game over here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Root to bat at 3 at Edgbaston, with Burns and Roy opening, according to sky sports. That's definitely the sensible outcome, but I'm really surprised they've done it. No indication as to the rest of the side, though I imagine it means Denly misses out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Tarmo Kink Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Vancouver Knights made 276/3 tonight in a T20! Chris Gayle hitting 122* off 54 balls. That managed to overshadow Tobias Visee’s 51 off 19 ( [emoji33] ) and Rassie van der Dussen’s 56 off 25 Root to bat at 3 at Edgbaston, with Burns and Roy opening, according to sky sports. That's definitely the sensible outcome, but I'm really surprised they've done it. No indication as to the rest of the side, though I imagine it means Denly misses out. Denly at 4 apparently although the long term plan is for Roy to bat there with another opener being found. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Got some gardening to do tomorrow (more like tree surgery tbh) so going to stick TMS on the BBC Sounds App while I potter about. Ideal summer day. I know I'm in the minority but I hope the Aussies stuff the English. Think it will be 3-2 one way or another with a couple of three day victories due to appalling batting and superb bowling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any batsman scoring 500+ runs for the series will be doing very well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see it being tight, wouldn’t be surprised if either side sneaked it or it is a draw overall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Gower definitely and assumed Botham as well being binned by Sky after this series. Not too fussed about the latter but think Gower is still a decent anchorman. Think home advantage and the series being played so late in the summer will sway it for England. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
