Administrator Stan Posted May 17, 2017 Administrator Posted May 17, 2017 encouraging news, this. missed watching cricket on free-to-air TV! Quote
Azeem Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 Never felt excited about the 'Champions Trophy' i don't see the point of having another ODI tournament when there is the world cup even if it is for the top eight teams, would rather see a Test championship between the top eight test sides. Quote
IgnisExcubitor Posted May 22, 2017 Author Posted May 22, 2017 (edited) Brilliant final of the IPL. Pune lost it, when Smith and Dhoni allowed the runrate to creep high. 130 was an easy score for them to chase. Jos Buttler's celebration, though. Edited May 22, 2017 by IgnisExcubitor Quote
Administrator Stan Posted May 29, 2017 Administrator Posted May 29, 2017 scenes at Lords right now. England 20-6 after FIVE overs. This is a One-Day International . Not a T20. Not one England player in double-digits for runs. Rabada is on 4-12. At 20-5, SkyBet had England to score Under 120 runs @ 4/1. Not sure what it is now! Quote
Administrator Stan Posted May 29, 2017 Administrator Posted May 29, 2017 Bairstow and Willey provided much-needed resistance to the early embarrassing collapse. Debutant Toby Roland-Jones is also impressing, too. Hit a few fours and 1 six already after 20 balls. Quote
Devil-Dick Willie Posted May 29, 2017 Posted May 29, 2017 Fuck with the proteas and this is what you get. Quote

Devil-Dick Willie Posted May 29, 2017 Posted May 29, 2017 I won't complain about losing a warm up series. Especially playing Morris Quote
IgnisExcubitor Posted May 30, 2017 Author Posted May 30, 2017 Danny's lot looked soft this time. Can see them struggling. Quote
Devil-Dick Willie Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 I can see your lot struggling. Grass on the wicket and all. Quote

On a side note, for a change our fast bowling is looking awesome. @Champions trophy Personally think one of us, Eng or Aus will walk away with the trophy. Quote
Administrator Stan Posted June 1, 2017 Administrator Posted June 1, 2017 slow but solid start from Bangladesh. 20 overs gone and approaching 100 with 2 wickets lost. Tamim is doing alright after a slow start. Wood took a good diving catch. Quote
Administrator Stan Posted June 1, 2017 Administrator Posted June 1, 2017 top stuff from Tamim. Moved swiftly on to 100 to get the first century of the tournament. Bangladesh have done well in focussing their attention on Ball and targeting him for boundaries and runs. Quite a composed innings overall. Quote
Lucas Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 300 is pretty much a standard score in ODI's now. England are well capable of knocking them off but it does give Bangladesh runs to play with. Fair play to them, fully justifying their inclusion. I still fancy us as we're pretty confident with the bat but if we give away wickets and go 15-3 or similar, this could be trouble... Quote
Devil-Dick Willie Posted June 1, 2017 Posted June 1, 2017 Bangers here to play. They are starting to win some tests as well. Good on em. Just goes to show the ICC that if you back some of the smaller teams they will improve given time. Quote

Administrator Stan Posted June 1, 2017 Administrator Posted June 1, 2017 meanwhile, how many more chances do you think Roy will get? Out of nick, so out of form and tries one of the dumbest shots you can do in that circumstance. Trying too hard probably. Quote

He should have just played his way in and built up his confidence for a while. I still think England will catch them - these two batting now are different gravy. Quote
Devil-Dick Willie Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 Pakistan cricket has had a lot of joy lately, which is great for them and the game in general, but yeah, time to see what the next gen can get up to. Quote
Lucas Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 We'll miss Woakes in the rest of the tournament. Was fast becoming one of our indispensable players along with Stokes and Root. Great with ball and bat, it will be hard to replace him. Big call on who will step in now. It will probably be Willey you'd imagine. Quote

Lucas Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 Aussies got away with that one. They were looking on the back foot in those conditions... Quote
IgnisExcubitor Posted June 3, 2017 Author Posted June 3, 2017 Big day tomorrow. Not an ideal buildup with Kohli and Kumble fighting. Quote
