Really interesting discussion of the seam position Bess uses...

Who’d have guessed their was so much to it?? Fascinating

Anyway, my son wants an IPL shirt for his birthday.. what is the world coming to?

That's it. Innings and 55

Loads of ODIs to come now. Next match is week today against Scotland I think.

as expected, england get it done today.

Well done Bess. Well done, gargle gargle, Buttler.

Another Test series comes to a premature end just as it’s getting interesting (like New Zealand last time they toured).

No more Tests til August seems ridiculous.

There'll be some fun and games here when they announce that next summer's Ashes tests only begin in August.

World Cup final is 14 July after a six week tournament and there's expected to be a 4 day England-Ireland test at Lord's 10 days after that, which pushes the Ashes to August.

That’s fair enough with the World Cup going on. Seems a bit of a waste of a month of summer this year though.

Is the no more tests until August to make way for the T20 comp?

don't think so. it's so they can get in some money spinner ODIs vs australia and then the white ball stuff vs india.

I see, also is it because of the World Cup next year which is in England end of May until mid July, that we can't fit the ODIs in vs Australia next year so that's moved to this year or we we get more ODIs in after the WC?

We have called up Jake Ball as cover for Woakes for the ODI's, holds head in hands....

Stokes and Woakes missing it now. 20 overs of bowling and two reliable batsmen down.

wah00ey · « **Reply #214 on:** June 5, 2018, 05:11:56 pm »

2 Tickets for Lord's spare on Friday 10th August if anyone's interested. Lower Mound, £90 each face value.

PM me if interested.

I don't understand why Jake Ball, he hasn't performed well in the past and he can't bat either.
Doesn't make sense. Would have been better going with Tom Curran or someone similar.

england have won the toss vs the scots and are having a bowl first. you'd imagine they won't last the 50 overs.

dudleyred · « **Reply #219 on:** June 10, 2018, 11:24:29 am »

Scotland started well. Hopefully see a good game

voodoo ray · « **Reply #220 on:** June 10, 2018, 11:30:26 am »

I take back what I said about the 50 overs. They've started really nicely here.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #221 on:** June 10, 2018, 11:51:00 am »

They're absolutely rattling along. Going at nigh on 7 to the over.

CheshireDave · « **Reply #222 on:** June 10, 2018, 11:51:48 am »

Going well. Hope they set a big total.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #223 on:** June 10, 2018, 11:58:17 am »

boundaries galore here

dudleyred · « **Reply #224 on:** June 10, 2018, 12:00:30 pm »

Good total on this pitch is minimum 300. Might be nearer 500!

voodoo ray · « **Reply #225 on:** June 10, 2018, 12:02:13 pm »

well done rash.

Frank Becton · « **Reply #226 on:** June 10, 2018, 12:06:47 pm »

The bowling has been awful, just asking to be hit, good pitch by the looks of it and we won the toss and put them into bat, hmm....

voodoo ray · « **Reply #227 on:** June 10, 2018, 12:09:04 pm »

both openers have played great but they're both gone now. 2 new batsmen in, see if they can carry it on.

isa guha must be the hardest working woman in cricket these days, possibly all sport. she is everywhere.

Is Buttler not in the squad?

I don't mind her in the slightest, just saying how busy she is these days.

buttler's rested for this one.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #231 on:** June 10, 2018, 12:17:14 pm »

Guessing it’s a fairly small ground? Can see one or two of our batters teeing off.

Do we have the bowling depth with a few of the first choice missing? Is Moeen playing or is he out of favour in all formats?

Might cancel the BBQ and watch this instead!

Scottishland playing lovely here. Done well to build on their good start with the couple of quick wickets going down.

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #236 on:** June 10, 2018, 12:57:00 pm »

Going to be chasing at least 350 here it seems.

dudleyred · « **Reply #237 on:** June 10, 2018, 12:58:43 pm »

Scotland to win by 100+ runs anyone?!

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #238 on:** June 10, 2018, 01:01:51 pm »

I think England will still cruise this.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #239 on:** June 10, 2018, 01:03:42 pm »

You look at that ground and you think that our top 3 will be looking to smash it everywhere.

Or they could get out cheaply trying to do so.
