    Best bowler to average over 30 ?

    If Swann (29.96) had played one more Test instead of crying off halfway through that Ashes, he'd have qualified for this. It half makes me think that was the reason he did quit.

    *OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

    I think the biggest error was probably not reviewing the Rizwan caught behind in the first innings. Pakistan would've been 198-5 and every chance they were bowled out for under 300. England might have been able to burgle a first innings lead and it's an entirely different game. By the time the...

    Official Pickleball Thread #Sports_for_Lames?

    I think Padel is a combo of tennis and squash in that you have an enclosed space with walls to play off. Michael Vaughan seems to be very keen on it!! It seems to be growing rapidly, especially in the older fraternity. I know a couple of guys from the golf club who play, one dislocated his thumb...

    *OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

    We were 100 behind in the first innings and he was batting with the tail, what's he supposed to do? No blame on him for that.

    *OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

    I accept that England don't necessarily bat well in those conditions - I just don't think those were the conditions on Day 1.

    *OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

    Yeah, but it wasn't the spinners who were creating the issues on Day 1. The big miss was the Rizwan edge off Potts. You only have to look at Leach's figures to see how the game changed from the first innings to the 3rd.

    *OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

    I can only assume you weren't watching on Day 1. There was more in it for the seamers that day, which was why we were questioning the Pakistani bowling set up. But it changed on Day 2 and suddenly started offering more assistance to the spinners.

    *OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

    I don't see that. There was one good day for batting, after that only two players passed 40, one of whom was dropped twice in single figures. No doubt England's fielding let them down badly, but I think Pakistan probably had enough on the board anyway at that point. I hope we get another slow...

    Sure, although not sure that playing on the same pitch twice is one of them.

    *OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

    If England won the toss they'd have racked up 400 on the one good day for batting and it would've been game over. But no doubt the Pakistani spinners bowled well and made the most of the situation. Fair play to the PCB for recognising the one way they could beat England and going full force...

    I know I'm not supposed to like Aussies, but I love watching Litchfield bat. She just oozes class in everything she does and seems so confident around the older players too. She genuinely looks like she could be the next skipper and do the job for a decade. She seems annoyingly likeable!! But...

    *OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

    Yep, they got away with it....pretty much throwing all your resources onto a toss of a coin. From Day 2 onwards only two players crossed 40, one was dropped twice in single figures and the other is now looking a freakish innings by Duckett. I'd imagine the PCB are hastily arranging some Club...

    Great stuff from SA but I wouldn’t mind betting that whoever wins the toss will bowl and win the remaining two knockout games.

    Turning into a thrashing. Didn’t think Bosch had an innings like this in her.

    *Official* 2024 Women's T20 World Cup thread

    Wasn't it here that Australia tossed their way to the T20 World Cup when batting 2nd was a huge advantage? I'm wondering if we're starting to see that again following the WI/Eng game and now this.....

    Think they'd have been better off not running her out. Litchfield brought energy to the last 3 overs and Aus now look to have a half decent total.

    Don't really get the Wareham experiment at 3. It'll just mean that more talented batters like Litchfield and Gardener will see less time in the middle. Aus are certainly not heading to a formidable total here.

    SA win toss and field, can they restrict the Aussies (no Healy) to a gettable target?

    *OFFICIAL* England in Pakistan 2024

    He's also a really lovely fella who you can see has a great rapport with the opposition. He does sledging in the right way.... cult figure at Sussex too, especially after he bowled a couple of overs in the style of Naseem!!
