It's all the same wicket, stop driving at straight ones!

Got a bad feeling this is going to happen in the Champions Trophy.

Like the old Nat West finals in September when whoever won the toss bowled and filled their boots. Is it bowler friendly or have we been terrible?

Some great bowling. Assisted by some rubbish shots. No the pitch is not doing loads. Far from it.

Well this isn't going to plan! A bit of movement and we're struggling.

Root got a good one, some of the others have looked dreadful

Alternatively you could say Root played all round a straight one and got pinned on the pads.

Willey. What a plum. Started to fight back and threw it away

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #89 on:** May 29, 2017, 12:44:08 pm »

Bairstow is showing why he should be in the team all the time.

well done YJB

Klippity Klopp · « **Reply #91 on:** May 29, 2017, 01:57:47 pm »

England 153 today

The lowest ODI total successfully defended at Lord's:

India 183 beat WI 140 (in 60 overs game) in CWC 1983 final!

Everyone knows that to make it swing, you pitch it up...
Willey, first ball short wide and slapped for 4.
If he did that in club cricket his skipper would bollock him

rawcusk8 · « **Reply #93 on:** May 29, 2017, 02:22:09 pm »

Amla the quickest to 7000 runs. If I heard correctly he was also the fastest to 2000 all the way through to 7000. Brilliant batsman in all formats.

TepidT2O · « **Reply #94 on:** May 29, 2017, 03:02:35 pm »

It's like the ashes matches of the past. The sissies were awful once the series was won.

Klippity Klopp · « **Reply #95 on:** May 31, 2017, 01:57:29 pm »

Would it not be wise for England to rest Stokes?

dudleyred · « **Reply #96 on:** June 21, 2017, 06:13:56 pm »

If you're like me you'll have not had a clue the first T20 was on tonight!!

SA win toss and bat

Yeah, I just saw that a minute ago!

It'll be good to see the young leg spinners in this game - I've never watched Mason Crane bowl before.

dudleyred · « **Reply #98 on:** June 21, 2017, 06:21:45 pm »

Never seen him? I'd never heard of him!! He's only played 22 list A games so not entirely surprised

A right bonus this is on - I'm made up!

cricketrocks · « **Reply #99 on:** June 21, 2017, 06:25:30 pm »

Haha yep, nice evening for a T20 for sure.

dudleyred · « **Reply #100 on:** June 21, 2017, 06:30:45 pm »

Tidy start

0/1

Chakan · « **Reply #101 on:** June 21, 2017, 06:31:51 pm »

Good start by us. Fantastic.

CheshireDave · « **Reply #102 on:** June 21, 2017, 06:34:35 pm »

Jon Jon Smuts. Haha

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #103 on:** June 21, 2017, 06:35:59 pm »

Have we only got five bowling options here? And two of them are Hampshire spinners?

You don't need bowlers in this game.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #105 on:** June 21, 2017, 06:37:10 pm »

not a bad start by us here.

dudleyred · « **Reply #106 on:** June 21, 2017, 06:37:16 pm »

This better not be over quickly!!

CheshireDave · « **Reply #107 on:** June 21, 2017, 06:39:18 pm »

2 down. Well done the openers.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #108 on:** June 21, 2017, 06:40:47 pm »

Not the strongest SA team you'll ever see. Surprised De Kock isn't playing.

dudleyred · « **Reply #109 on:** June 21, 2017, 06:41:49 pm »

On a separate note the wife got me lords tickets for the windies test the other day - day 3 - I've never been

May need you lot to pray for rain day 1 or 2!!!

Chakan · « **Reply #110 on:** June 21, 2017, 06:53:10 pm »

Gonna be a quick game.

I did live in London for year so couldn't pass up an opportunity. I think it was Aus vs Eng if I remember correctly.

Old No7 · « **Reply #113 on:** June 21, 2017, 07:12:45 pm »

Didn't have a clue this was on, batting looks strong enough, bowling a little more experimental.

More importantly what the hell is going on with that England kit?

Not as good as the ODI one that's for sure

TepidT2O · « **Reply #115 on:** June 21, 2017, 07:32:43 pm »

Some clever bowling here...

They've made it very difficult for South Africa.....

And there's a 6

CheshireDave · « **Reply #116 on:** June 21, 2017, 08:01:14 pm »

Odd innings really. England bowled very well to restrict in large. Doubt it'll be enough runs.

Old No7 · « **Reply #117 on:** June 21, 2017, 08:09:15 pm »

Jason Roy could use a score

Chakan · « **Reply #118 on:** June 21, 2017, 08:14:45 pm »

From where we were it's decent. Won't be enough though.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #119 on:** June 21, 2017, 08:29:41 pm »

And that there is the problem with Roy.
