Watching Pom-Bears v Skips in the Hundred

How childish

Its clearly

Trent Rocket VS Southern Brave Iceberg

 

[funkycoldmedina]

Jack Carson would be a bold, interesting choice

They're going to have to start introducing a few of these prospects into the bowling line up to give them test level exposure. I'm hoping Potts and Tongue have gone away knowing what they need to work on in the CC

Watching The Hundred, I'd forgotten what a messy convoluted format it was! Can we have the ashes again?

 

[Gravy12]

Just watched the last ball. Tv umpire calls flat line as the screen shows a massive spike on the penultimate ball. Worse than VAR

England docked 2/3rds of the Test Championship points they earnt in the Ashes, for slow over rates.

that'll teach em.

Have the Aussies not been docked points too?

One way to help make sure India get to the final I suppose.

Slightly tongue in cheek but surely this is a huge benefit to the subcontinent sides that bowl about twice as much spin as elsewhere.

Shaheen is something else

Only for the 4th Test! I’m sure they were questioning the O/R in the 5th but nothing has come of it.
See the crisp cup has sold out again….

Nice little article about up and coming players who might feature in the next Ashes or two considering a number of players from each side won't be there

Did they venture north of the Watford gap for that article?

Stuart Broad and Moeen Ali have gone and with Ashes heroes knocking on, who are the next generation pushing for a call-up?

Big hopes for Lance Morris.
He is REALLY quick.

Teague Wyllie has high hopes on him as well.

Have they passed your spirit of cricket exam yet?

Morris will bounce the fuck out you.
I hope Wyllie will do something to piss you off!

Wowsers. What a performance Spencer Johnson. Bowled 20 balls for 3 wickets and only conceded 1 run for the Oval Invincibles.

Didn’t see it but that has to be one of the best white ball spells ever, 1 run and 3 wickets is bonkers.

I missed the start but think part of the spell was against Buttler and Salt in the powerplay. They were looking to tee off as were chasing over 180.

Unbelievably impressive.
