Riversider28 Posted June 27, 2024 Posted June 27, 2024 England all out for 103, losing by 68 runs. Brilliant bowling display by India, we just couldn’t read the spinners. Should be a good final against South Africa on Saturday. Quote

AllRoverAsia Posted June 27, 2024 Posted June 27, 2024 I stopped watching after Butler, then Salt threw their wickets away, I knew what was coming. I was right, a meek surrender. 2 Quote
Moderation Lead K-Hod Posted June 28, 2024 Moderation Lead Posted June 28, 2024 Nobody does batting collapses like England. Salt always seems to give his wicket away too cheaply as well. Fairly damming stats that we only beat one proper test nation in the tournament- so reaching the semis not quite the achievement Stokes is trying to frame it as, IMO. 1 Quote

chaddyrovers Posted June 28, 2024 Posted June 28, 2024 England needs to rebuild the team. I would make Zak Crawley the captain of the team. I would like to Ben Duckett in the team and he should be opening the batting with Phil Salt. I would put Zak Crawley at 3, Harry Brook at 4 and Bring in Jamie Smith at number 5 and keeper in this team with Will Jacks at 6 and the all rounder in the team. I would also bring in the squad Will Smeed, Joe Clarke and Tom Banton. Archer needs to lead this attack with Curran, Atkinson and Topley with Ahmed as the main spinner. Quote
AllRoverAsia Posted June 29, 2024 Posted June 29, 2024 The final has all the ingredients for a great match. Two good batting and bowling lineups. India will start as favourites but if SA bat first and de Kock bats long they will be in will a good chance. I want my early pick of SA to take the trophy. I hope it doesn't rain on the rainy season.......🤔🤔🤔 Quote

At a RRR of under 7 they had it bagged, thanks to Klaasen, then Millers slow run accumulation made it difficult. He was out to that brilliant boundary catch, if that had gone for 6 probably a different result. Miller had a very poor tournament. Failures in the top order and no real threat in the tail hampered SA. Kohli turned up on the big day. India are No 1 in batting and bowling so SA did get close but did bottle it to lose. Quote

I’ve only just seen the catch. It looked like he caught it (having thrown it in the air) before he landed back in the field of play. Doesn’t that mean it should have been a six? Quote

Caught on field, thrown up whilst still on field, stepped over and back at the boundary line and then caught again on field. It was naturally checked in real time by the 3rd umpire, but I still will have another look. Quote

matt83 Posted June 30, 2024 Posted June 30, 2024 Off to Southport soon for what could be jimmys last Lancs game. Hopefully bowl first Quote

This fella might be the next Gilchrist or even a Prior but foakes is still reputed to have the best glove work in the world and he can bat. They seem desperate to get rid of him. I’m sure foakes is also still the primary keeper for Surrey ahead of this guy, he definitely was vs Worcestershire. 3 Quote

I'm thinking Smith will also take the gloves in white ball cricket for us Quote
den Posted July 2, 2024 Posted July 2, 2024 Spent yesterday at Southport waiting for the rain to clear. No luck. Not there today but play got underway and this morning saw Jimmy in his first outing this season, take 7/35. Notts following on so might go tomorrow if it’s not over. BTW, Anderson and Lyon bowling for Lancs. Two all time greats playing for the same county at the same time. When does that happen? Quote

When does that happen? A new if pretty obscure county record that. This Lancs team is the one with the most test wickets in championship history - 700 for Anderson and 530 for Lyon. The previous record was also a Lancs team and also the only other with over 1,000 test wickets. 2 Quote

chaddyrovers Posted July 10, 2024 Posted July 10, 2024 James Anderson last test match starts today. Interesting to see how Gus Atkinson and Jamie Smith play in their first test 2 Quote
