Off Topic England cricket 2021

Possibly Stokes for test and odi with other for t20 is being suggested.

 

'25 test season now started. 22 years since we last played Zimbabwe in a test.

 

That should bring an end to the drought you have had!

 

I'm in the Philippines, no drought here.

 

Only Test, Trent Bridge (day one of four)

England 498-3: Pope 169*, Duckett 140, Crawley 124

Zimbabwe: yet to bat

 

I think we will probably get on. Gives Brook an innings and more of a chance of play on day four.

 

well on the way to winning. I only watched a couple of overs but was pleased for Bennett with his century you could see it meant so much to him

 

Fairly simple victory on a batsman friendly pitch. Good sixfer for Bashir who is repaying the selectors faith in him handsomely.

 

• First ODI, Edgbaston today
  
  
• West Indies need 401 to win
  
  
• England post 400-8 - sixth time they have scored 400+ in men's ODIs
  
  
• Bethell smashes sparkling 82 off 53 balls; Duckett, Root & Brook also hit fifties
  

 

Well the West Indies started off badly, trailed off a bit in the middle and the less said about the end the better.

Stonking win for England!

 

What a start to the Brook/Bazza partnership. Our second biggest win ever in terms of by how may runs. Only Aussies have fared worse against us which I repeatedly let Aussies here know regularly.

 

Ladies going well today.

208 for 0 after 34 overs.

 

and they won by a decent margin, though not as convincingly as the men

 

Much closer in the 2nd ODI- Root though with 166 Not Out got us home

 

And said afterwards that he wants to go on playing odi's for some time yet if se!ected. Which I am sure he will be.

Eng had another resounding victory against WI in a shortened match

 

The Brook/Bazza partnership going well. Six played, six won.
