    England test tour of Pakistan December 2022

    For an 18 year old with three First Class matches played he looks quite promising. :santa:

    England test tour of Pakistan December 2022

    You could see all three stumps on impact. It would certainly take reverse swing to another level. :santa:

    Just looks like another Archer, talented but lazy.

    Discussing Bazball approach in Test Cricket

    On the BBC feed they asked which cricketers from the past would have excelled for England under the “Bazball” regime and Chris from Lancashire said “Andy Caddick”. :santa:

    *Official* Final & 3rd Place Play-off Thread

    I don’t care who wins. If forced to choose a preference I would lean toward Argentina.

    Lack of posts and interest in this WC

    There was definite apathy before it, and come Boxing Day it’ll feel like it never happened.

    It was 20 years ago yesterday...

    Nothing makes me feel old or young except the date of birth on my Birth Certificate, but Sir James is now about the age I was when he made his debut therefore leading to the conclusion that I’ve wasted my life and none of it has been worthwhile. :santa:

    Football on YouTube

    If you've ever been bursting at the balls to see a match played at Home Park in June 1989 between England and Poland Under 21's now is your chance. Two minor points of interest. About 200 Wolves fans made the three hour trip to see Bull and Mutch play as overage players for England. Dedication...

    AUS current Xi v Past peak XI (home soil bias)

    This is one of those opening posts where the phrase “urgent remedial surgery” is unavoidable.

    What qualifies as a Wasted Talent?

    In some ways Ian Botham wasted his talent. He’s a candidate for the most gifted all around cricketer ever, but when he passed the natural peak of human fitness instead of working at it in the gym and in the nets he was off shagging barmaids and smoking exotic tobacco. He always had a bit of a...

    *Official* English Football Season 2022/23

    The big freeze is over in much of the South and our match is on. The lower leagues in the north hit badly. Meanwhile in Australia: A-League: Melbourne City-Melbourne Victory game abandoned after spectator injures player - BBC Sport

    *Official* Road to 2022 World Cup

    Someone has worked out that England can still win the trophy. I don't know if it's factually accurate and it's too stupid to bother trying to check......... but if the four remaining teams have enough players sent off that means that the games have to be abandoned they would all be disqualified...

    Safe shot. That was outside leg from here with the naked eye.

    Good lesson in how not to play spin. Well done Zak.

    England test tour of Pakistan December 2022

    Looks like a decent day. You never know until both teams have batted. The spinners look a little expensive.

    England test tour of Pakistan December 2022

    Nonsense review that. It would be interesting to know how many on field LBW’s are reviewed. Seems to be almost automatic.

    *Official* Final & 3rd Place Play-off Thread

    Third place is definitely a match no one wants. The FA introduced it for the FA Cup in the early 70’s. Played on Friday night before the Final, no TV coverage, no mention of it next day and very sparse crowds. Lasted about five years.

    England test tour of Pakistan December 2022

    Just be grateful Joel Wilson isn’t the third umpire. The complexity would have frazzled his brain.
