Blimey, Duckett was on about 66 when I popped into a meeting and now has his ton.

Re: England Mens Cricket 2023
Don't think this attack is up to much, sub-county level tbh, will be good for some of the English lads to dine out on but sterner tests are just ahead.

Re: England Mens Cricket 2023
People already talking about declaring
Surely we want as many of them out there as possible facing a few deliveries before the Aussies rock up?

Re: England Mens Cricket 2023
The wonderful sound of TMS is making writing a report far more tolerable. As one sided as this is, it’s good for Ireland to get experience and England to get practice for the Ashes.

Re: England Mens Cricket 2023
Well, I don't regret buying the tickets now!
The bowling has obviously been poor but let's take nothing away from scoring 500 off 80 overs. Shot selection has been tremendous.

Re: England Mens Cricket 2023
Odd call, IMO. Why no batting practice for the rest of the order, as well as giving something to the saturday ticket holders?

Re: England Mens Cricket 2023
Only in cricket could a team play at the pinnacle without actually playing that form of the game. It’s like a international beach football side getting an game against England at Wembley.

I think there's an element of not taking the piss out of Ireland by just grinding them into the dirt for no reason.dasnutnock3 wrote: ↑Fri Jun 02, 2023 4:30 pm Odd call, IMO. Why no batting practice for the rest of the order, as well as giving something to the saturday ticket holders?

Re: England Mens Cricket 2023
This has been brutal for Ireland... probably a big step back in their push for more test cricket
Unless teams fancy playing them to bump up their averages

Re: England Mens Cricket 2023
Yesterday saw both the fastest 150 and double hundred scored at Lords. The fact that it was by two different batters is just bonkers.

Re: England Mens Cricket 2023
This going to go one of two ways against the Ozzies. Either exceptionally good or exceptionally bad.

Re: England Mens Cricket 2023
I'll be amazed if Stokes plays at this rate. His knee is clearly fubared.

Re: England Mens Cricket 2023
Perfect batting conditions but the bowling is rather toothless. Hopefully not a sign of the incoming summer.

Ireland are in the lead!
