Be Excellent To Each Other :: View topic

Believe in the power of the rain!!!

Yikes, not sure if this or Headingley was worse.

Still, beating Australia followed by a tied series in South Africa is not to be sniffed at, even if the performances weren't always to the standard we would hope for. Our team has potential to do well, but we need everyone to be firing on all cylinders to make it happen.

It seems so long ago, but didn't we win the one day series too? Not a bad tour, all told.

What the hell is going on in Pakistani cricket? The maddest team in the world just got madder:

Lifetime bans for Mohammad Yousuf and Younus Khan.

Who else forgot about England vs Australia today?

Bet: Top Scoring England Batsman First Innings
Bet Type: Single Stake: £1.00
Event Selection Price E/W Terms Status
England v Pakistan - 3rd Test - England v Pakistan Stuart Broad 67.000 Win only

Flirted with you, there. Good, valuable innings, though - the fact that they've got to 200 gives them a decent shout.

England with yet another all-time classic collapse after tea here. The insistence of our batsmen to play atrocious shots on a good wicket is shocking.

Discipline, men!

Hah

I've just won £57.50 on betting that 3 runs would be scored from the first ball, (£25.50 from a 50p bet) Eoin Morgan would top score (£16.50 from £3 bet) and England would win (£15.50 from a £10 bet) for a profit of about £40 woohoo!

I was going to say Kalmar had posted that in the wrong thread. But then I realised that Rafa and teh england team are probably a perfect fit now.

Huzzah! Though I think that if the rain saves us, this will be one of the least deserved series wins ever!!!

That is some crazy stuff. So the guys don't get on, so what? Make neither of them captain and the problem goes away. Or if it still lingers, drop whichever one is batting worse. How can you be BANNED for not liking your teammate?!?!?

Myp you're right. It says something about the improvements that have been made in team performances that a 1-1 tie in an away series against the number one test nation in the world is a poor result. There are undoubtedly still problems and the age old fragility is still there, but I am positive about this summer!

It didn't even really seem in doubt - watching England from over 8 or so, I was convinced WI hadn't got enough, and Gayle's inability to run singles in amongst the 6s was going to cost them.

Post subject:	Re: Cricket
It’s so weird to watch. England highest ever run chase and I was always confident. Great knock from Jason Roy, and Root just doing what he does. I will forever love Eoin Morgan for what he has done to this team. Also, tiny detail, Buttler declined to run when he hit the winning shot, so he got 4* instead of 1*. It’s the little things!

Author:	Malc [ Wed Feb 27, 2019 22:53 ]
Post subject:	Re: Cricket
My word! What a game! Jos Buttler marmalised the ball in the first innings, and then Chris Gayle pretty much matched him, and just as it looked like the Windies were going to win, Adil Rashid took 4 wickets in 5 balls! Just Wow!
