Cricket Thread

[chesterbells]

I wanted to discuss women's cricket.. that was some nail biter yesterday with the English and Indian gals.

A proper nailbiter till the end.

Maybe we need a different thread for that too?

I agree (genuinely)

 

[roman totale]

What does everyone else think; do we need one thread for Lancashire CCC and one for England?

I ask because I come on here wanting to read and post about Lancs and it’s 90% people posting about watching England on telly. I’m not hugely bothered but thought I’d raise it.

If no one likes this post I’ll assume not(!), but if you reckon Lancashire and England deserve separate threads give it a Like. For a sport with the importance of cricket, we can do better than one thread surely(?)

I’m in. My attitude to Lancs vs England is very similar to my City vs England one. Infinitely more interested in the trials and tribulations of the former.

I agree (genuinely)

Did you see that catch Lauren Bell made?

Holy shit.. she's quite an athlete..

I wouldn't be able to grab that at all and she did! (sadly the momentum carried her out and it was a 6)

But what a catch!!

I see there were two remarkable centuries in the U19 match between Eng and Ind. 14 year old Suryavanishi hit 143 for Ind. He has scored a century for his state side in Indian cricket and is a super star in the making. (Oh no, not another Indian run machine!)
Rocky Flintoff scored 107 for Eng with 4 sixes but in vain as we were well beaten.

Good to see Rocky over his injury problems

Suryavanishi already has a century in the IPL as well. The second fastest ever in the over decade long competition.

And it seems like it's been no fluke. I've been keeping tabs on the games as some of them have been played at Northampton.

In the second game at Northampton he scored 86 off just 31 balls. For comparison Phil Salt scored 80 off 57 balls at the same ground just a few days after in the Blast. There's quick batting and then there's his level of boundary hitting.

That's pretty mad!

India really struggle for top batsmen, don't they?

Only the weather can save us today and the rainfall radar for Edgbaston isn't looking helpful tbh.

The Indians must be kicking themselves for batting so long yesterday, an earlier declaration would of given them a better chance of winning with the rain that was forecast.

Early lunch and 70 overs after that will see us off with a lot left to bowl I reckon.

We should not be getting bowled out on this track in 2 sessions.

You are correct and I sincerely hope my prediction is wrong but look at the way we bat, it's feast or famine.

 

[johnny crossan]

10 overs lost so far, sun is shining and England still 73/3 after first over. 65 overs before last hour.

 

[johnny crossan]

Pope gone. Not infallible and in walks Big Ben on a king pair....

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Yeah, we’re losing this one.

 

[waspish]

Forecast fine for rest of the day with our tail 2 more wickets be over very quickly

 

[johnny crossan]

Harry trapped - 5 down. Fantastic off cutter.

 

[MillionMilesAway]

It's a good thing this Indian team doesn't have a great bowling attack!

This bowling at the stumps lark is an interesting idea.

It also appears that England are in Deep Deep Deep Deep trouble.

(I feel that someone will say that, so it might as well be me).
