Those I know who are interested in cricket think he's easily England's best test batsman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimbeard Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Never mind all this talk about the players. The real topic that needs to be discussed is: Where's Bumble? Watched the match on Sky today, and neither sight, sound or mention of him. It just won't do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 England all-rounder Chris Woakes has been ruled out of the rest of the Champions Trophy after a scan revealed he has sustained a side strain.

eddie Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 With Australia v New Zealand being called off, just one more win (or two more games rained off - the forecast is not good) will put England into the semi-finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do actually rate him mate and very impressive with the stats he's currently at. He's definitely best test batsman I agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly is, but why waste him on Talksport? No, that's wrong, not wasted, but why Sky aren't using him is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKRam Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Actually pleased for Pakistan! Unable to play at home they've done incredibly well haven't they? Not many would have predicted that for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistoldPete2 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 How was Jason Roy given out today? Doesn't obstructing the field have to be deliberate, like handball? It clearly wasn't deliberate as he had his back to the fielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He started to run whilst turning his head to watch the fielder. He carried on his run diagonally because his head was turned in that direction. Seemed a natural movement to me and not intended to obstruct a fielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyinLiverpool Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Fair enough. I thought it was the right decision. That he crossed the pitch while watching the fielder was very suspicious. It just looked like his priority was not making his ground but was making it more difficult for the fielder to hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I will watch it again, but I think its a natural reaction to watch the fielder... You don't know which end he will be throwing to. And you try running with your head turned, and turning behind you. Anyway he was given out which was a shame as he was getting his form back.

It was the point where we lost the game. Morris was truly swivel-eyed mad and that was transmitted to the rest of the South Africans and England failed to respond positively. The South African all wanted to be part of it. Not so England. Have a look, when you watch the incident again, at how much time he spends looking at the fielder and how little time he spends looking at the crease.
