Cricket Thread

I appreciate there are some posters in here who think that the sun shines out of our openers arses but for me they are in no way good enough. Yes they both have their moments but are simply not consistent enough if England ever want to be say in that world test final that South Africa just won. Admittedly it might be hard to drop them both at once but certainly Crawley needs dropping, I suggest Bethell needs adding, and one of the other batters needs to become an opener - Brook, Pope, Root or Smith can’t do any worse at the job than that gormless Crawley. Not sure if there are any openers in the county game making a case for inclusion

We never be in the world test series final because how it is done! Look at South Africa run up games to the final a piece of piss 2 test matches against no one!

I’d keep Duckett but Crawley been piss poor for years

I agree on Crawley but Duckett is very good

“He's in big trouble,” said one of the commentators on the match live stream. “The umpire's brought the bat gauge out, to measure the legality of Phil Salt's cricket bat, and it's not going through. That normally effects penalty points, doesn't it?”

Crawley is just too unreliable to be Englands opener.
 
Well, that turned out a lot better, women and men both win.
Lancs championship and vitality, what a contrast. Fabulous to see that top 4 in action batting for Lancashire. Bring on the Roses game Friday night; their form is shite!
 
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(?)

We won't get to play in the World test final for 2 reasons ( other than performance alone ) the quality of the opposition we play and the fact at home seam conditions mean that over rates is always an issue
