The Cricket Thread 2015-16

The bowling and fielding definately need improving, but it's good to know that any batting target is acheivable.

 

Batting second and chasing a big score freed up England's batsmen. They had nothing to lose and managed to hold onto wickets for the end game. Being England they tried to blow it, but got over the line. Still in the tournament whereas a second loss would have blown it.

 

I would like to apologise to the England team. After seeing them get a bit bogged down mid innings yesterday I switched over to enjoy the likes of DS9 and Macgyver. My loss, well done lads.

 

India V Pakistan . Here we go ..... ( Hoping for a Pakistan win myself ) .

 

this format of cricket is the form of game that the ICC should be trying to promote worldwide, such a shame unless you have a contract with the likes of Sky you can not watch the world cup. World cups should be on national TV and streamed on the Internet to encourage non cricket playing countries

 

England Ladies restricting India to 57-5 after 15 overs.

 

Well the English Ladies tried hard to lose but managed to fall over the line..

 

Wouldn't be British if you don't try and make a pig's ear out of it. Still unbeaten so far.

 

Vince opening the batting in today's t20 match .

 

42-2 in the 6th over. To go further in this competition, it may not just be points, but how you win the games. England need a good win here.

 

Gone for 22 , but he was flying .

 

Morgan out

 

Can someone tell me when the new domestic season starts please, as a new Cricket thread will replace this one at that point. I'm going to call it something original like The Cricket Thread 2016-17. Catchy, don't you think?

Now I'm off to work. Have a good day.

 

Morgan out for a duck !

 

42-4.

 

42-4 . Root gone & that's that .

 

England fought like Lions to get back in this tournament, then make every effort to blow it in the next match. When I came in, I was dismayed England had chosen to bat....I know what everyone says about getting runs on the board, but I would rather we chased the probably lowish score that Afghanistan would set. Struggle now to get to a decent score for the bowlers to work with....especially without Root.

 

Buttl

Buttler gone .

 

57-6
