Boo Khaki Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 2 and a bit days to get the runs, and Stokes goes full T20 mode. Sometimes I seriously wonder about the mental capacity of modern cricketers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 England need just 61 to win with 5 wickets in hand. If Root goes early tomorrow then it's still 50/50. [emoji23] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent stuff However - have to say I was outraged at the coverage you gave Meigle v Bute County..... Not sure if you saw the scorecard or not..... Bute, chasing 416 off 40, open with an absolute hero who Boycott could have learnt a thing or two off. With over 10 an over required - he bed himself in a bit too much and got his first run off his 50th ball, to huge cheers off the field and promptly raises his bat Ended up with about a dozen off 120 or so balls from what I remember..... and I honestly think it's one of the most entertaining innings I've ever seen! Lasted 34 overs, Meigle absolutely crowding the bat and around ball 80 or so he was caught off which saw wild celebrations in the field.... only for them to realise it was a no ball Credit where it's due - Bute obviously no chance of chasing that against a really strong Meigle team, and this boy just wasn't for giving his wicket away! See below for celebration at getting off the mark on ball 50, run rate required at this stage around 15 an over Cheers, glad you’re enjoying listening to it, we’re having great fun making it! I’d totally missed that little story, that’s absolutely brilliant The Scottish final of the village cup between Meigle and Falkland is taking place at Meigle tomorrow (as I’m sure you already know), Callum is planning to head along to it so I’m hopeful that he’ll stick a camera in front of someone and bring us some content from that to go in to next week’s episode! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a terrific test match. England haven’t been in many of them in the last year. I’d make New Zealand slight favourites, but only just. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way are New Zealand the favourites at the moment. If root hangs on for an hour then England win easy, and even if he falls they can still scrape over the line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone falls early today, New Zealand win, that said, if that happens I would be sending Broad in at 8 to swing at everything in the hope of getting a rapid 20 odd and let Foakes or Root nurse the rest of the tail to the target. Been a good Test though & I hope the weather isn't going to fook it up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 This is the best I've seen Foakes bat at international level in a long time. No rashness just solid play balls that need to be played, leave the balls that can be left and dispatch the bad balls 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riviera711 Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 That ended up being a very comfortable win. Very good batting performances by both Root and Foakes. No silliness, just playing the shots when they were on and leaving anything that didn't need to be played. Particularly pleased for Foakes, who's had to wait longer than he should have to get a regular start in the test team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Root passed 10,000 test runs in going to his century, equaling Alistair Cook as the youngest to reach the mark at the age of 31 years and 157 days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’ll at least go past Ponting’s 13,378 to go second all time, and I wouldn’t be all that shocked if he surpasses Sachin’s record of 15,921. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvo Montalbano Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Thought there would be more comments about that first day. What a difference having a strong middle order can make. And when your bowling attack doesn't have depth the strike bowlers look pretty tired quite quickly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jupiter Jazz Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 This T20 season has been nuts. Last night I watched Somerset requiring 50 from 3 overs with 3 wickets left chase it down and tonight Sussex needed 28 from 6 overs with 8 wickets left crumble to defeat. Both against Gloucestershire. Unbelievable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
