The England Cricket Thread

It's very unusual for an England team to have two 95 mph bowlers and another that hits 90mph (Jordan). Very exciting.

Going down leg.

We're not going to win this barring a Herculean innings from someone.

Inject that win into my veins

Crazy result we were dead and buried when Australia were 2 down. Massive collapse later = win.

**** me that's stupid batting from Maxwell. If Australia lose this JL will be livid

anyone here following the IPL?

seems a bit lifeless without the Indian crowds

It is a bit weird watching without the screaming of the crowds in the background, though the TV does tone the sound down compared to how it actually feels in the grounds.

There have been some stonking games in the first week, what with a super over after a tied match and yesterdays 210+ run chase.

Can't wait for England to be back in action on Thursday, big 10 weeks in the subcontinent. Will be pretty exhausting, don't expect much from the team for the test series in India...

England cricket is growing day by day. Their series with South Africa was wonderful. Although the Ben Stokes performance was good.

Zeebedy · 13 Jan 2021 at 18:55

Can’t wait! Only problem is the early 4am start :eek:

Pleased with today, although Sri Lanka were absolutely abject. Bad advert for the game.

Alibaba99 · 14 Jan 2021 at 18:48

Especially woeful for Sri Lanka given that they've just got back from a tour of SA whereas England haven't played test cricket since the end of August.

Can't be as bad an advert as the blatantly rigged IPL though!

Confirmation that Rooty dines with the big boys

Looks like this whole India tour is going to be on Channel 4. Absolute scenes.
