The Cricket Thread

7 posts without reply has to be some sort of record I will put an end to this farce.

 

I see myself as an information service....especially for those who are still dozing in their pits.

 

Ends India on 172-6. Good match with plenty to please England.

 

I can never sleep for more than a few hours, the early morning cricket has been an absolute godsend.

 

If only you'd bring me a cuppa in the mornings too....

 

I used to play cricket at schoolboy level, the team I played for won an all-Ireland competition and qualified for a 3-day long tournament in Trent Bridge. What an experience that was at 15 years of age. I miss those summer evenings. I batted number 5 and my highest innings was a 49 not out

Well we got close , far closer than I thought we would .

 

New signing to be announced tomorrow - presumably our overseas player for some, or all, of the season.

(Although with the champions trophy falling in the middle of the season, it'll be harder than ever - what with the IPL, CPL and international cricket - to find someone decent for the full season. Limited really to players whose international careers are behind them. I think ECB are quite strict on qualifying criteria since last season, so up-and-coming player who haven't yet broken onto the international scene find it difficult to qualify. So my thinking is a season of two, maybe even three, championship overseas players in different spells.)
