It's fair to say, I find Harry Brookes (ahem) condemnation of the circumventing of Pakistani players for The Hundred as slightly tame for my liking............

Hasn’t he been signed for some team in the IPL? Can’t jeopardise his earnings.

It's pathetic - it's not even controversial to say 'you shouldn't be discriminating against players because they are of a particular nation'

Someone will break rank and call it out - I THINK /HOPE people within the game are too well educated not to............

I’m kind of glad it’s imploding slightly.

T20/The 16.4 is the death of actual cricket.

That’s an absolutely horrific innings from Buttler.

Salt won’t be in much longer way he’s swinging

Can’t seeing us winning any super 6 game. Harry Brooks comment of “we didn’t really know anything about them” when talking about some of their group phase opponents says everything you need to know about McCullums view to coaching.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

I’d say 150 keeps us in the game but really need 165+ to be in a strong position at the turn of the innings.

Poor old Josh, reckon his headlamps have gone.

hari kiri from brainless Banton

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

That would have been three yards short had the ball hit the stumps! What's happened to McCullum's power play re pressure. Seems the longer a batter stays in the greater the pressure build up!

 

[BringBackSwales]

Well done skip

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Yeah, not sure we’re winning another game this tournament.

 

[johnny crossan]

Brook unlucky there, think they tweaked that ball tracker

I saw that clip earlier - bizarre admission of lack of preparation.

 

[waspish]

Forgot about this game glad I did but 20/20 someone can still hit massive with 5 overs left! Been impressed with Sri Lanka not been that impressed with us.

Is it just me or does Nasser Hussain get really really excited when England lose a wicket?

Be even worse should we play India. Pretty sensible innings by Salt for once (edit, I lied)

He does, and I commented on this thread during last summer, it’s crazy what he says and how he reacts, the enthusiasm is beyond belief when we lose a wicket, an ex captain as well, fucking joker

We be lucky get 120 here
