I feel all is right in the world knowing the words "england batting collapse" are somewhere nearby throughout the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyinLiverpool Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 There is literally no point to Moeen Ali. Caught on the boundary having already hit a six in the over. Idiot. He should be dropped for not accounting for the state of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the Hampshire county ground was in the centre of Southampton used to go to the Sunday games cos the beer tent was open all afternoon when the pubs were shut ? Cricket was usually pretty good. David gower, Robin Smith, malcolm Marshall etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume the beer tent was well popular then. Gower was a brilliant left hand batsman and Smith was a big hitter and Marshall very fast . I think you were spoilt watching them .

The ground is now about 6 miles out of town but has been put in a very difficult spot to access. It's right by the motorway but 2 miles from the nearest junction and it's all minor roads. So I'm in the Cleveland Bay having walked the dog and the game's on the tv ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie20 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Fantastic finish to WI v NZ. Braithwaite trying to hit a 6 to win the match and gets caught a foot inside the boundary. Brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyinLiverpool Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I get quite annoyed when commentators use the phrase 'a good pitch' to describe a track entirely favourable to batters. This morning one of them even added that there had been no sideways movement as evidence that it was a good pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
