The England Cricket Thread

Silly

Kelt · 11 Jul 2019 at 16:19

Dreadful from the umpire there.

No sound, no nick, why give him out?

Cob · 11 Jul 2019 at 16:19

Terrible decision. But that's why you don't waste reviews.

Roy has been brutal once again. Given our recent Test openers I guess he’s pretty much cemented his place in the Test team now.

Cob · 11 Jul 2019 at 16:21

Should have said not-out and let the Aussies review it.

Monkeymatt · 11 Jul 2019 at 16:23

Was an odd decision, he looked like he didn't want to give it out?

But yes that teaches Roy for not telling Bairstow that he was plumb.

Kelt · 11 Jul 2019 at 16:29

Why don't we just have VAU in place.

That would stop crap decisions like this.

Roy robbed of a century IMO.

Roy will get a demerit point. Annoying, but he won't be banned or anything.

Also, we'll get the first England game on FTA in 14 years!

Morgan was looking a bit rum early on, but starting to get in the swing of it now.

I'm guessing but wouldn't it be C4 as they've the ones showing the highlights?

chroniclard · 11 Jul 2019 at 16:58

Not sure, quite a high run rate required still....

Google says Sky will show it for free if England get to the final. No info on where they'll show it yet.

Yeh, just over a run an over

Even we can't **** this up Shirley.

Apart from a few overs where Australia restricted our run rate we have been imperious today. Some lovely shots and we have absolutely demolished Australia.

chroniclard · 11 Jul 2019 at 17:15

What a hammering.

Cob · 11 Jul 2019 at 17:15

Win by 8 wickets with 18 overs left.

Bloody hell.

Kelt · 11 Jul 2019 at 17:17

So proud of the lads.

Well done England.

Now lets roast some Kiwis for Sunday lunch!

Oh, and amazing scenes!

Locky · 11 Jul 2019 at 17:21

I see my kiss of death worked again

rickjames · 11 Jul 2019 at 17:22

THIS TEAM! So proud.
