    ***official***Bangladesh tour of india - 19september -12 october 2024

    No particular axe to grind on this. It would sound a bit dumb if Bumrah was rested after just one test.

    English Domestic Season 2024

    Vaughan, A looks to have real talent with the bat, almost regardless of what he does with the ball which is highly promising on its own.

    I wonder if Archie Vaughan is going to be handed an international cap of some sort by his dad in the next year or so?

    English Domestic Season 2024

    It seems bizarre. I note Mackembhoy's post too re the previous games between these two teams but even so, if your seamers are being spanked it is worth a change up just to try to change tempo.

    English Domestic Season 2024

    I don't get why Somerset picked Jack Leach and then didn't bowl him given all the other bowlers they used were seam up? Must have been worth using him for an over or two, surely?

    By which time he was barely 21 years of age as well. You would have thought it would be more likely to come from more longstanding members of that dressing room.

    England players and selection discussion thread

    I think what is a little overlooked with Leach is that in the Stokes/McCullum era, he averages about 38 in test cricket, indeed it is 38.63. They backed him for a while and it's not like he bowled terribly and he did improve a tad on just being basically a 4th innings bowler in helpful...

    Cricket - Visit Corfu A few times I've been to Greece, and my brother is married to a Greek girl, I've come across plenty of Aussies of Greek ethnicity. You would have thought a few 'returnees' might have kept the game alive there. I know Croatia has quite a few Aussies/Kiwis who play the game...

    *Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka

    Sri Lanka are clearly in the best shape that they been for the best part of a decade. They probably don't turn it on as a unit with the bat as much as they should but they appear to have far more depth to their bowling attack with a good range of seamers as well as Prabath in the spin...

    English Domestic Season 2024

    Yeah, surely you would want a result of some kind. Not even enough of a break in the weather to allow for a super over?

    *Official* New Zealand in Sri Lanka

    Leach and Bess were utterly awful in that first innings. They were barely better than recreational level in that performance. I took some abuse for pointing that out from a Somerset fanboy and a delusional nutjob who thought he knew about spin bowling but really didn't. To be fair they were...

    *OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

    Yeah, it doesn't make sense either. Then again I'm still mystified why England are touring Pakistan not even two years after the last tour, and ditto New Zealand too.

    Is South Africa now a 2nd tier team ?

    As others have said, top tier pace attack, second tier batting at the moment. However, I would say that they only need a couple of good batsmen to come through and they would look very useful indeed. So as Girth says above.

    I was more talking about Leach. He was never all that in the first half of matches, even if it is obvious slow bowlers are always going to prosper when wickets break up.

    English Domestic Season 2024

    Isn’t the other side of the coin that they are reliant on spin in wearing conditions, that have been taken out of the equation by the low first innings scores? If they can skittle Lancs out quickly, they have a reasonable chance but you would expect some help for seamers this time of the year.

    English Domestic Season 2024

    Are Somerset playing themselves out of contention? Look like they are going to have to face a 300+ total to chase at Old Trafford.

    Surely Santner is picked as much for his batting as his bowling, no? Seems a waste of a pick if he is because he is clearly little more than an ok support bowler at best in tests IMO.

    19 Years ago OTD - 2005 Ashes Win

    I'm not being bad, and the Caribbean is quite confusing because actually it spans two continents, but Cuba is actually North American, not least because its nearest points are not very far from Florida, not that I'm particularly interested in going through both Geography or history (Bay of Pigs...

    What a player this guy is. He looked to have so much time against any bowler he was up against when I watched him live at the Oval, even if on that occasion he didn't go on and convert a good score into a big ton. Then again, he didn't need to given England's profligacy.
