The Cricket Thread

[fatletiss]

Thanks Gary!! You are right but I am not going to change. Years ago I was a blind devoted Middlesex fan - born in the county so I kind of stuck with them. Now I couldnt care less, particularly in the light of that last match of 2016. And until I moved to Mallorca I was many a year in Hampshire so of course one gets to support the county where one lives. Having said this, I no longer follow a team out of blind devotion, and have learnt that there are other teams that may be deserve their special moment. In cricket it would be Somerset winning the County Championship and someone like unsung Gloucestershire to win the T20.

How long did you live in Tottenham Ides?

How long did you live in Tottenham Ides?

Maybe that is for the future!!! My infancy was around Richmond and Twickenham.

Still early stages of this match of course, but this this the first time in the WC where 400 could be on.

110-0 after 16 overs.

Bairstow out 51. England 128-1

 

[ChilcoSaint]

185-1 after 30 overs, still an outside chance of 400, but definitely 350+.

15 off the 31st!

Root drags on for 21, now for some fireworks from Morgan!

Edit: Buttler promoted. Even better.

 

[ChilcoSaint]

Bangladesh waste their review.

More than an outside chance I would say.

 

[st_brendy]

Safe to say that the drinks break was the cue.

 

[fatletiss]

Roy on a charge!

 

[fatletiss]

Oops.. I’ll keep quiet now

What unbelievable power...fantastic shot.

What unbelievable power...fantastic shot.

Didn’t do his back any good though, been hobbling since that shot.

Buttler holes out, great knock though, 64 off 44.
