The Cricket Thread

Yep I get it. In a knockout I want England to win, but if they don't, I haven't lost lol.

 

What would happen if you moved to Italy?

 

India Pakistan . Same people

 

My Italian would have to improve

 

And your liver ...

 

My liver is well conditioned to Chianti, Barolo and Amarone....It will be fine

 

Azzurro Montepuciano for me.

And in Italian:

Azzurro Montepuciano per me

Dead easy.

 

Excellent start by Bangladesh, Windies 32-1 after 10 overs, Gayle out for 0.

 

Cant expect too much, he is predominately a bowler these days.

 

That went well then, just the 3 bowling points. Somerset still 23 points clear with a game in hand.

 

Next week could be interesting. It's scary how many wickets Harmer has taken at home this season already. If you can get through that - surely the toughest test in county cricket this season - then the title is yours to lose.

 

Interesting to note that Hampshire's wicket takers were all seamers, Essex's Harmer and a supporting cast. They will be a real threat in the second half of the season. Could Essex be docked some points for a sub-standard pitch, or was it just down to a lack of preparation time due to the weather last week?

 

12-61 is pretty impressive, even on a dodgy pitch! Hopefully the ECB tell the Chelmsford groundsmen to get their act together before Sunday.

 

Not to mention 8-80 and 11-170 in their only other two home games. 42 wickets this season - including those 31 at home - when only two other players across both divisions have even reached 30.

 

Very VERY VERY well played Bangladesh .

Poor as the Windies were , The Tigers were fantastic !

 

Bangladesh thrash Windies by 7 wickets, equaling their second-highest runchase with 322-3.

Windies in real trouble now with 3 points from 5 games.

 

Vince finally succeeds in throwing his wicket away after several attempts.

 

How many chances does he need .

 

57 ball 100 for Captain Morgan!

 

Root gone for 88.
