Off Topic Cricket 2021

England in a spot of bother towards end of Day 2.....NZ only 85 behind with 8 wickets left........

Looks like another Test playing catch up........If NZ bat through tomorrow they'll be 200 plus ahead.....

 

Really enjoyed the noise at Edgbaston today.

 

Unfortunately I didn't enjoy the singing for long periods. Sounded too much like a football match.

The cheering, applaud and general enthusiasm from the crowd was much more like how a good cricket crowd should be.

 

4 down as Taylor out but should be 5 & Bracey having a nightmare behind the stumps, surely we have better than him in reserve

 

There are plenty of better keepers, but he's been picked primarily as a batsman. That's going well isn't it?

 

Get the last three for preferably zero runs and that’s decent damage limitation.

 

Yeah, that's pretty satisfactory, and could have been better if all the catches had been taken.

If we can bat a bit better second time round, it's game on.

 

NZ all out 388 a lead of 85.......

England need to post at least 350, means batting at least 4 sessions to set NZ something like 270ish on a 5th day pitch.......

 

Cue England collapse? Burns out 2nd ball.........

 

Oh ffs!

 

Probably the worst review I’ve ever seen.

 

Absolutely bewildering.

 

Pope was looking good again, but once more fails to convert a start. A bit unlucky with the LBW decision, though.

England in deep doodoo.

Time for Bracey to justify his selection.

 

OMG as the yoof would say......

What a shambles our batting line up is........

 

Carnage.

 

Im watching my local village team. I guess after some of the posts England are having a nightmare?

 

Effectively 22/7

 

Now 35/8

 

They shouldn't give Broad a bat. He's a number 12 these days.
