PistoldPete2 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Same as England cricket 2016 really. Scoring over 350 twice, losing twice. We just can't seem to bowl when we are away from England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English conditions suit our seam and swing bowlers..in the subcontinent to bowl side's out you really need at least one, ideally two, top class spinners...which we don't have currently. A valiant effort with the bat today though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistoldPete2 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Another valiant effort with the bat today, but it would help if one of the batters could go on and get a hundred. They are very good at getting 50s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only trouble is, they bat a long way down and it will get easier later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woakes recovered well after the first two balls of the last over. India are the best side in the world at both forms of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a tough tour for our lads..well pleased they finally picked up a win today. South Africa this summer... should be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyinLiverpool Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Bloody hopeless. I was at the swimming pool, listening happily at 100 and something for 2 whilst the kids had their lessons. Then I had to switch off to go and get them dried and dressed (about 15 minutes). Got back to the car just in time to hear the last wicket. I hope they are embarrassed.
