RadioactiveWaste Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 55-4 after being put in to bat shows it's not been too easy. Pope and Stokes trying to restore some respectability. After meeting a South African chap a few years with some very strong views about apartheid, I have ever since wished defeat on every South African Cricket and Rugby team. This fellow however dimissed football as a sport, so Bafana are OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to bounce out the tail with the usual macho twattery; two openers that can't bat, along with a wicketkeeper batsman; 7 players failing to reach double figures in the first innings; 6 in the second.

Comrade 86 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 With calmer heads, we could have batted them out of the game today. Still very much in the balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Well, it would take a collapse of Englandesque proportions to stop an England victory now. Given the fact that day 1 was rained off and day 2 was cancelled, it's been a splendidly balanced test match until about 6:00 pm on Sunday.

Much as I have been thrilled by the new dynamic England, I can’t help mourning the death of quality batting. Also, winning matches in England using a hooping Dukes ball on lively pitches is no preparation for games abroad where our 80mph attack and frenetic batting will be exposed.

Comrade 86 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Crawley is a bit of a conundrum. He looks top-notch at times, but it's been a up and down Summer for him, all told. I hope he gets a chance, as I do think there's a player in there somewhere. As for Boucher and the chippy 'Bazball' chatter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a strange one, Attacking play in a 5 day game where building an innings is where it starts, It's been a cracking summer to watch this new approach tho. Going back in time, Boycott and Tavare were a laborious pair to watch but hard to remove, There was a time when Boycott was so slow at the crease one time that a message was sent out to his batting partner too...run him out ?

Mr Tibbs Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 I've quite enjoyed the summer but do feel like we have got away with a couple of matches thanks to some cracking innings'. Stokes is obviously leading by example but he's the most annoying to watch IMO - regardless of the match situation his approach is no different. Some really mindbogglingly 'what the hell is he doing' moments. But then we've won all but one so can I complain, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Stokes is more like Botham (the legend) than Botham (the player) ever was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Utterly bonkers day so far. 213-0 after 33 overs in a test match! Crawley and Duckett filling their boots on a flat pitch against a lacklustre Pakistan team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
