Cricket Thread

[crooky]

I avoided this thread yesterday no suprise to see thaflt ancoats has come from under his rock after a poor England performance , wont be seen again for a while if things improve

Just had a quick look at the 2019 World Cup thread for a laugh.

Guess who couldn't take the rough with the smooth then as well?

under my rock ? Let's not forget I was right about Root being a poor captain, I never question his batting skills and he is up there with the best, the Ashes were lost in the first 2 tests with poor selections, Why Woakes and Woods did not play in the first 2 test was a joke.


I don't think England is winning the ODI World Cup But it is just my view on this message board

You being here when things are not going well is not in question. it's your vanishing acts when we are

I am not a big fan of ODI and 20/20 cricket, But test cricket then Yes, I am in, Only the Root (captain) later Years I have been very judgemental and rightly so, I think England only won 1 in 17 Test in the lead-up to Root being demoted as captain,

This summer Ashes also was very poor at the start, Big mistakes were made by Stokes and also the selection committee in not playing Woakes and Wood, then Picking Jimmy Anderson for 4 tests for a total wickets of 5

With the right selection from the start in this summer ashes England should have won 4.0 or 4.1
So am only saying what I see. I think most people see it the same way

So you never saw the improvements later in the series ? Your silence was deafening and you were tagged enough,

Watching the Bangladesh Afghanistan game, the outfield is in a shocking state, I can see there being injuries in the field, it's like a cabbage patch

No fcker watching! Apparently sale of tickets only went on sale 6 weeks ago! Don't the World Cup tickets go on sale years before it?

the thing is the Aussies retained the ashes before the last 2 tests and that was job done for them, Ok winning the ashes was still on the cards, But the truth is they we not the Aussies of Old and England should have won the Ashes if the selection was right and not fucking up the declaration by Stokes

That’s not true. We won tests 3 and 5. Had we won 4, we would have won the ashes back.
