Chris2K Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 History buffs take note; we are in the middle of possibly the most embarrassing performance in England's history right now. I say middle, it may all be over by tomorrow lunchtime if England bat again by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted January 25, 2019 Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 We need to be able to bat further down the order. I'd put another wicket keeper in the side as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our lack of a decent opener and a proper number 3 has led to us playing 3 wicket-keeper batsmen and selecting "bowlers that can bat", to the point where everyone except Anderson is supposedly capable of scoring runs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With someone else at long stop to be safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plubby Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 England suck and we won in three days. Cricket's really taking that "10 year challenge" thing to the next level 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLiam Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Was watching the cricket last night and one of the umpires was wearing something on his arm but the other one didn’t, and it’s been bugging me. Does anyone know what on earth this thing is? Asking EWB, I expect plenty of tom-foolery however I hope one factual explanation will slip through the net.

ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 I would imagine that it's so he can protect himself when a sloggy batsman tonks one straight down the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking it was this, but the other umpire didn't have one and it looked as though he was writing or doing something the other side of it.

hugobomb Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 World Cup time! A good win for England yesterday, plus an absolute world class catch from Stokes https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/cricket/48467301 Today, Pakistan 105 all out against the Windies.

Chris2K Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 The Windies look very dangerous if the pitch conditions suit them, I still think their batting has a possibility to implode though. Very professional job from England yesterday, hell of a catch from Stokes, even if it was only that difficult because he was horribly out of position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2K Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 He's never been the most mobile, but yeah nowadays he's just there to swing as hard as he can. The bizarre thing about this tournament is that despite (stupidly) removing four associate nation teams from the competition the tournament is somehow four days longer than the last one.
