The England Cricket Thread

[Cob]

Quite good fun listening to Slater and Taylor having to gush over England.

Imagine a ten wicket victory. Great confidence going into the ashes.

 

[Cob]

50 for Roy. Well played.

 

[Kelt]

Another great fifty from Roy.

Has to be a nailed on for the Ashes, how could you leave him out?

 

[robfosters]

Out of the ground!!!!!

This is immense stuff!

 

[Feek]

This is incredible!

Another great fifty from Roy.

Has to be a nailed on for the Ashes, how could you leave him out?

Absolutely. If we had a decent opening pair, then I could understand some reticence: a different game, test cricket. But it's a no-brainer to drop him in for Jennings - it could be spectacular, but even if it's not, it won't be any worse.

 

[Cob]

They've thrown in the towel

That third six was HUGE! 101 metres! 116-0 off 16. This is why England were so hyped before the tournament and hopefully now everybody who was wondering why England "let" the Aussies back into the game see that conditions have changed a bit.

 

[McBain]

Roy is a beast.

 

[JRS]

They took Smith for 21 runs that over. Absolutely minced him.

 

[Cob]

England are currently 81 runs ahead of the DLS par score.

After 16 overs

 

[Cob]

Silly review. That was plumb as.

 

[JRS]

Now what the hell was the point in reviewing that?

 

[Monkeymatt]

Bairstow out so he can go get his leg sorted for the final

 

[JRS]

Rooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot

 

[Cob]

Roooooooooooooooooooot!!!

 

[chroniclard]

Pff

 

[Feek]

And this is why that was a wasted review.

 

[JRS]

And that's why wasting that review earlier was ******* stupid
