Re: England cricket 2022
Ashes schedule is out and all Tests are played in June and July as The Hundred takes precedence in August, apparently.
3 days break in-between the last two Tests is absolute madness.

Re: England cricket 2022
If you are going to sell your soul, then do it all it. The ECB can't be accused of not being behind glorified rounders. Can I please have a sport that I like that isn't being ruined by short sighted desires for massive amounts of money (by people who already have massive amounts of money)
Edit - Essex 34-4 not looking good..

Re: England cricket 2022
Well above par score for England batting first. If the local knowledge is correct looks like it’s England’s to lose. Good efforts all round from the batsmen, with Moeen standing out (sorry batters, off the woke training for me!)

Re: England cricket 2022
Excellent batting from Pakistan but some of our bowling has been utter crap

Re: England cricket 2022
Always think this way of saying a defeat is b*llocks when they only won with 3 or 4 balls remaining. We notch up an extra 6 rather than a dot ball and suddenly they're in trouble if they bat the same way.

Re: England cricket 2022
It usually is but to not take one wicket in a T20 is pretty rare. I think this is the first time England have ever been wicketless in this format.

Re: England cricket 2022
Just caught the reply to this. So much for a good total. That was (aided by some crap) brutal batting.

Re: England cricket 2022
England well in control with Pakistan three down. Love to see Wood in the wickets. Brook is some talent, it’s not just the power, the placement of some of his shots was world class.

Re: England cricket 2022
I'm in the ballot for The Oval. Hopefully there's something still to play for by then!?

Hate them too. Totally against the spirit of cricket. Shame on that player.

Re: England cricket 2022
Oooh that was bad. Not even a proper Mankad, not like the player was taking the P. The bowlers front foot had landed, it is a split second.
Next time anyone plays India women it should be juicy.

Re: England cricket 2022
As usual twitter was full of India fans saying what a brilliant bit of play it was.
Her front foot had landed and then she checked back.
If we won the Ashes like that I'd be ashamed.
