Congrats on your handsome winnings!

He could get out and Malan overtake him again.

Or a random Dutch could have the innings of his life!

Morgan gone.

Livingstone coming in puts Nick in danger. Livingstone could easily hit one of these deliveries so far it goes for 12.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #13642 on:** June 17, 2022, 01:41:56 pm »

Really need to get on with work but going to have to watch the rest of this to see if he can get 200!

This is like Michael Owen against the ginger 13 year old in goals.

Elzar · « **Reply #13644 on:** June 17, 2022, 01:45:10 pm »

Having these 2 in together is a good comparison of styles. Livingstone is pure power, Buttler incredible technique.

This will be sufficient to get Buttler back in the Test team. (How we miss the nervous prod).

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #13647 on:** June 17, 2022, 01:47:34 pm »

I bet the Aussies are cheering on England. Didn’t we score our world record against them? It’s in danger here.

Livingstone with an early strike rate of 460 there...

voodoo ray · « **Reply #13649 on:** June 17, 2022, 01:48:52 pm »

that poor leggy

Circa1892 · « **Reply #13650 on:** June 17, 2022, 01:49:18 pm »

By my reckoning they need 9 an over to break the world record...

Like he’s on the Falls Road.

He's just tried to headbutt one for 6!

There’s actually time for Livingstone to get his hundred here at his current rate of scoring!

let the leggy have another over.

The last week hasn't been bad if you're an England cricket fan who enjoys big hitting

Almost want us to just fall short of the record, feels a lot better if its Australia as the team we did it against instead of the Netherlands

voodoo ray · « **Reply #13658 on:** June 17, 2022, 02:06:45 pm »

2 short of the 500.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. awful.

Ray K · « **Reply #13659 on:** June 17, 2022, 02:07:05 pm »

You can't really judge the score until both teams have a bat though.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #13660 on:** June 17, 2022, 02:07:07 pm »

If Lancs could ever field Salt, Buttler and Livingstone in the same T20 line up I reckon they could do alright.

Elzar · « **Reply #13661 on:** June 17, 2022, 02:08:51 pm »

Evenly balanced you'd say at the interval.

Annoyingly, finals day is in the middle of an England ODI series, so likely have none of them.

I've actually got tickets for finals day this year and wasn't aware of there being an odi series on at the same time.

but I'll probably have to read something online on sunday to find out who won anyway

Fuck no. Wonderful LO player, but does not have the technique or patience for Test cricket. And is easily the worst keeper we have in terms of gloves

Tim David too. He’s a serious hitter. Maybe even better than Salt.

Yep, the T20's being on youtube and having good crowds has made it a great tournament to watch and brought in viewers. Should have made it so finals day was a stand alone event that all the internationals could play in if needed.

Hooooow have we managed to turn Buttler bludgeoning 162 off 70 balls into yet another debate about whether he should be in the test side (which he isn't even in at the moment)?

I swear the RAWK cricket threads could get from "who's the greatest left-arm spinner of all time" to "yeah but Buttler isn't a test-standard keeper" in the space of three posts!

I was joking. Hence the comment about the nervous prod - which Nick managed to turn into a comment about the Troubles.

Oh I know you were, but still the debate was launched into with gusto!

Anyway, by my calculations the Netherlands need to get to 209 to avoid holding the record for the biggest losing margin in men's ODI history.

They’ll be glad it’s not Test cricket with Jos Buttler coming in for them at 6 then. He’d be out cheaply after some nothing shots. Right?

Elzar · « **Reply #13674 on:** June 17, 2022, 04:42:45 pm »

The attraction of this series is always going to be England batting. I say make them bat first in all 3 and let the fans have a good time!

David Malan is incredibly boring at the start of his innings. The games dropped off since he came in.

he does tend to get himself in. but, on the other hand, he is actually still in.

Can’t argue with the numbers he’s posted but I agree. Looks so out of sync with the rest of the team. Wouldn’t want him in the team in a T20 World Cup game unless somebody is injured.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #13678 on:** June 19, 2022, 06:06:50 pm »

predictably, he's now been given out.

but survives. going over the top.

Elzar · « **Reply #13679 on:** June 19, 2022, 06:14:20 pm »

He does get the numbers, but he also slows the run rate for his partner as he doesn’t take a lot of runs. Can’t see him staying in this team is Root/Stokes/Bairstow are avaliable.

Morgan might struggle to stay in the team too at this rate….
