Off Topic England cricket 2021

NZ fought well today. New ball to have a crack at them tomorrow. It will be interesting to see if they can make inroads early

 

Good watch here

 

Second Test, Wellington, (day four of five)
England 435-8 dec (Brook 186, Root 153*; Henry 4-100) & 48-1 (Duckett 23*)
New Zealand 209 (Southee 73) & 483 (Williamson 132, Leach 5-157)
England need 210 more runs to win

Good days cricket for both teams.
Should be good tomorrow
Great bowling by Leach, 61.3 overs bowled,

 

Thrilling final day. I watched most of it. Only the 4th time in history a side following on wins. Stokes played correctly, then injured his knee but carried on accumulating runs gradually until having a wild thrash at one that, because of his knee, ended up a one handed lob to be caught. One more run and we would have won the series with a tied game.

 

Really enjoying England Test cricket.

A real change from boring 5 day matches.

Ashes this Summer. I think it maybe available on terrestrial TV.

 

We lost... but what a game! I was in a park in Bangkok supposedly looking after my 2 year old with every 20 seconds trying to refresh ESPN to see an update. He's still alive

 

Second ODI, Bangladesh v England, Mirpur
England 326-7 (50 overs): Roy 132 (124), Buttler 76 (64); Taskin 3-66
Bangladesh 194 (44.4 overs): Shakib 58 (69); S Curran 4-29, Rashid 4-45
England won by 132 runs

Wasn't even aware these games were being played.

Looks like we played pretty well

 

yes I only found out when I saw in the paper

 

Third game on monday.

 

Anyone else following the 2nd tier one day international tournament for qualification to the world cup?

 

Where is it being held?

 

It is home and away series (or tri series) of 7 teams. I'm following PNG against UAE currently UAE got bowled out for 97, but PNG just lost two quick wickets in reply and are 49/3

 

PNG won... hurrah I was going for the underdog they don't have many points

 

Third ODI, Bangladesh v England, Chittagong
Bangladesh 246 (48.4 overs): Shakib 75 (71), Mushfiqur 70 (93); Archer 3-35, Rashid 2-21
England 196 (43.1 overs): Vince 38; Shakib 4-35
Bangladesh win by 50 runs

Poor show today by our batters

 

Yes nobody got over 40

 

1st T20, Bangladesh v England: Chattogram
England 156-6 (20 overs): Buttler 67 (42); Mahmud 2-26
Bangladesh 158-4 (18 overs): Shanto 51 (30); Wood 1-24
Bangladesh won by six wickets

Another poor performance all round today

 

2nd T20, Bangladesh v England: Mirpur
England 117 (20 overs): Duckett 28 (28); Mehedi 4-12
Bangladesh 120-6 (18.5 overs): Shanto 46 (47); Archer 3-13
Bangladesh won by four wickets

Another poor performance

 

I get the feeling the players do not want to be there. Need a break.
