    Should England play Afghanistan?

    Yes everyone should play Afghans if they want to, but the ICC is at fault at not allowing the Afghan women to play. No cricket is going on in Afghan ATM anyway, and the mens team are basically expats run by the board financed by the ICC, so why dont they finance a womens team to play in OZ where...

    *Official* Big Bash League 14 - 2024/25

    The 2 popes teamed up twice to give both ct Pope b Pope and st Pope ct Pope. Bit of a surprise to see Olly in the BB as I thought he'd never played white ball cricket for england, although he has for surrey.

    Jasprit Bumrah vs Ray Lindwall

    I vote Lindwall even though he played on uncovered wkts, but he was also a much better batsman [2x test 100s] and fielder. Clearly ATM Bumrah is the best in the world, he has carried the attack for india this series.

    **Official** 4th Test at Melbourne, 26-30 Dec 2024

    batters all look the same under helmets. they should put their names on their backs... 8-) after those late 3 wkts looking like a typical ashes test down under. i'm calling it now, 2-1 to oz.

    The Renegades have an engine room of bethel and evans [aged about 37]. Are they short of batters?

    **Official** 4th Test at Melbourne, 26-30 Dec 2024

    This is the real way to bat your opponent out of the game, and its 400-6.

    **Official** 4th Test at Melbourne, 26-30 Dec 2024

    after 2 practice airshots and giving siraj the charge, Konstas finally connects and bumrah goes for 4, 6 & 4. Crazy stuff. Crowd are loving it.

    **Official** 4th Test at Melbourne, 26-30 Dec 2024

    Conditions seem very similar to 1st day at hamilton, but pat didnt see a cloud and then bowl 23 overs having made the wrong decision. Konstas tries to ramp Bumrah in 3rd over, misses everything. And the return of the voice of summer, Jim Maxwell.

    England players and selection discussion thread

    Apparently Rocky is his real name, its not a nickname or short for Rocco. I guess Freddy is a fan of the films. I dunno if Lawes will be fast enough or good enough to impress England, especially as they have Gus already, but he is in the squad, mea culpa, too much sherry. 8-)

    England players and selection discussion thread

    Tom lawes was the only player to impress for england in their recent heavy defeat by CSA XI at the end of their winter training camp [which doesnt say much for whatever the were doing there], so its a bit odd that was left out of the Lions squad for Oz for other seamers like Pat Brown whos been...

    Boxing thread

    I didnt see fury fight live only hilites, but fury looked terribly out of shape, even though he had his shorts pulled nearly to his chest the rolls of fat were visible. he got caught a lot by the faster Usyk. At 36 Fury either starts training seriously or he better call it a day.

    **Official** England in New Zealand 28 Nov-18 Dec 2024 - 3 Tests

    is the 2 for his fielding, i'd give him 0 for his batting cos having played 53 tests, you'd think hed find a way to make some runs, but no, just try and hit his way out of trouble, like he does on the golf course. The trouble with our openers and some of the others, is that theyr not prepared to...

    **Official** England in New Zealand 28 Nov-18 Dec 2024 - 3 Tests

    Stokes determined to show he can still bowl, probably wont be able to walk tomorrow, but daft not to let the spinners have a bowl if only to give the seamers a rest. The bazball barrage again failed to finish off the tail cheaply. I thought Hamilton had a rep for helping the spinners?

    on the basis of that 1st over, looks like defeat for england and 11 wkts for tim

    **Official** England in New Zealand 28 Nov-18 Dec 2024 - 3 Tests

    Looking at recent test results, all the top teams seem to be bit like the nursery ryhme, when theyr good, theyr very very god, but when theyr bad, theyr absolutely shite. Also a top 3 of Creepy Ducky and Ethel still looks rather odd. On a good day, Bazball heaven, but on a bad one maybe triple...

    **Official** England in New Zealand 28 Nov-18 Dec 2024 - 3 Tests

    yes they had 4 fit seam bowlers, but we have stokes as a 4th seamer and hes not very reliable, so really we only have 3 seamers and bash. So our 3 seamers had to bowl a lot more than NZ. But theyve had a decent layoff so hopefully theyll be OK, fingers crossed.

    Root dropped someone as well. England were on a high after the 1st pakistan test, and we know how that progressed. I'd expect snoozers to bounce back. But for their catching they probably would have won at hagley. England have usually announced their 11 by now, that they havnt suggests...

    Beetel is better at golf than OR2, bash is better than Leach. I think theyll keep the same side.
