***Official*** England in India 2016/17

Get that balding dude to lob it up and take 2/50 with both caught at the boundary. Forgot his name but he was doing a lot better than Moeen.

Tredwell?

 

[Daemon]

Yep, not sure why his name escaped me. I recall backing him on CW when others wanted him out of the team.

 

[S.Kennedy]

Isn't he retired?

 

[Compton]

Isn't he retired?

He certainly always bowled like someone who was.

The only person I've ever heard of called Sheldon is Sheldon Cooper. He's made up and American.

Would be a bizarre name in England let alone India. Then the surname Jackson isn't exactly a standard surname over there is it?

150/1 after 23. Think it's safe to say England have lost this one.

We have an Indian cricketer with a name as awesome as this, and you're complaining about Sheldon Jackson.

 

[ImpatientLime]

harsh. tredwell was a perfectly decent odi bowler.

always been a massive morgan fan boi but finding it harder and harder to justify him in the side when you've got a gun like billings being kept out of the team.

Controversy with Jason Roy's dismissal ?

Protector at the back of the helmet fell on to the stumps.

New law needed ?

I think I woke up in an alternate world today.

Yeah, I'd be in favour of a general law change here. I know they're very rare, but I've never been a fan of hit-wickets where helmets/caps or parts of them fall off and dislodge a bail. Just feels too random.

Without a doubt. When they were brought in to stop anyone else from dying like Hughes.

To be given out cos that falls off is wrong.

 

[srbhkshk]

Yeah, in my mind a hit wicket is when the Batsman manages to dislodge the bails due to his carelessness/stupidity - Things like Helmet Protectors / chipped portions of bat etc. should not be counted.

Or being literally knocked off their feet by the sheer pace of Monty Panesar

 

[OverratedSanity]

KP got out hit wicket when his helmet fell on the stumps once iirc

Never forget Rashid made Kohli hit wicket.

Amazed they could make a helmet big enough for his head, let alone one that was too big for it.

 

[Tom Flint]

Morgan has to go. He will no doubt have a good innings this tour which will secure his place. But it's one good knock in 5 from him these days, the likes of billings, bairstow ect are much more reliable. He's no.4 ffs a prime spot in the order

 

[ImpatientLime]

not convinced bairstow is a better odi bat than morgan.

edit: actually scrub that, bairstow just flat out isn't better than morgan in limited overs cricket.

 

[Shri]

The team is still winning and the system is working. Drop Morgan when that changes.

 

[Burner]

Morgan averages 37. Will have to at least let it get to 35 to drop him and for that he'll have to have a very bad 3 matches.
