Looked like we couldn’t get a test-level run rate going when batting, then, I watched about 16 overs of the Australia chase, and we looked untroubling as a bowling attack, lacking variety and guile. Then went for Lamb Kleftiko, and forgot about cricket. Ultimately, Morgan is indisputably England’s Greatest limited overs captain. Others could’ve been, but never had the conviction to stand up and take down the stuffy, conservative, self-serving establishment that is now thankfully crumbling. archram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) Really enjoyed that game. Woakes and Curran excellent and Archer beginning to look back to his rip-snorting, hostile best. He must be an absolute nightmare to face when he's on it. He's got a proper nasty streak in him and you can just tell that Warner and one or two others aren't really fancying the job, not that I in any way blame them.

Wolfie20 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Well that wasn't half bad. From two wickets down without a run on the board to just over 300 is a good recovery. Let's see how the Aussies respond. Mostyn6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 They’re struggling. Maxwell will put up a fight, but doubt they have enough wickets left for the chase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostyn6 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Surprised he gave the last over to Rashid. I was expecting Wood to power in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably thought wickets would win the game and none of the pace bowlers looked likely. Rashid over pitched by about a foot and that made the difference between a six and a catch.

Wolfie20 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Think the turning point was Archers' dismissal of Carey only to be pulled up for a no-ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 What a game of cricket! India, without 9 top players, win the series against Australia by knocking off 328 in the last innings. Brilliantly entertaining stuff. Deej, GB SPORTS and RoyMac5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Oh boy, that was fun to watch. That's Paine done now, surely? He doesn't score runs, he can't review properly, his banter is tragic and he drops catches. Apart from flipping a coin on day one, what exactly does he bring to the team?

Does make me even more excited about the Ashes though! My big concern is whether our talented younger batsmen can stand up not only to the hostile bowling but also to this type of intimidation?
