    *Official* Australia limited overs tour of Scotland and England 2024

    I think both umpires are Scots.

    *Official* Australia limited overs tour of Scotland and England 2024

    From these stills it seems that Inglis is ready when watt bowls, but as stoinis did soon after, pulled away to watts long ball [it missed on that occasion]. Watt did this quite often in the T20 WC, so oz would have been aware of it. So i dont see why it was dead ball or no ball.

    They might need all the 5 days if the forcast is correct. SL have left out Prabath so clearly they dont think it will help spin much.

    ***Official*** England vs Sri Lanka 21st August-10th September 2024

    I think Cox opened a lot when he was at Kent, but all his success this season is AYS at 4. We seem to have loads of batters who can bat at 4-6 where there is no vacancy, but not many good no3s better than Pope, who i expect is going to stay at least for the pakistan tour. Hope he gets the runs...

    V good point, and perhaps he should be rested after the oval as they have a load of other seamers in the squad for the odis like carse and mahmood who havnt yet played. i wonder if Hull and Creepy are related they look almost identical even sound similar although JH is 2 inches taller.

    English Domestic Season 2024

    I dunno who got there first but both Ingram and Higgins reached 1000+ runs during the last round. It annoying that the FC averages are divided into div 1 and div2, someone should put them together so i dont have to look in 4 places.

    Time for an England white ball rebuild

    My chief worry about Baz doing the job, which he cant ATM cos of the schedule, is that it will dilute his attention away from the test team that should be his main focus.

    Time for an England white ball rebuild

    Baz is appointed white ball coach as well test team. A bit of bazball might be what they need. But he wont take over til next year so Tresco continues for now. Meanwhile Oz take on scotland tomorrow 2pm local. Australia T20 squad: Mitchell Marsh (c), Sean Abbott, Xavier Bartlett, Cooper...

    English Domestic Season 2024

    Jacks took a 7fer Surrey, but Dawson century and 10 wkts as hants win by an innings. Oh what england are missing ;) Elsewhere some massive scores on the first 2 days of the current CC, 2x600, 2 x500+

    Some of the shots played at the other end while Root batting were truly terrible. After his wonderful 100 in the 1st, Gus got out to some crazy reverse tennis smash, i know they were in a hurry, but could they not have just pushed the singles to give root the strike? since start of 2021 Root...

    ***Official*** England vs Sri Lanka 21st August-10th September 2024

    Great day for the england crowd to risk sunburn for, even if there were only 76.3 overs. Woakes did a very good impress of Jimmy when bowling and on another day, easily could have had a 5fer. But maybe after that Gus ton, hes gonna have to bat lower;) The usual bazball barrage after theyd...

    I wonder how many more tests before brooks average drops below 50?

    gonna need a lot from the tail to get us a decent score. good bowling by the Slanky seamers. Kumar looks pretty quick.

    3 soft dismissals, very bazball. at least we wont have to bat last, but pitch looks fine.

    ***Official*** England vs Sri Lanka 21st August-10th September 2024

    I hope Woakes can live up to those figures, cos with all these injuries/absences we're gonna need him to be top notch. Anderson at Lords 29 matches [is that the most by anyone?] 123 wkts at 24.81 7x fivefors

    ***Official*** England vs Australia ODI and T20I Series 11th-29th September 2024

    I think theres 7 seamers cos theyr unsure how many will be fit by 9/11 ;) Surprised smith doesnt make both squads, i assume he'll be playing as a batter only.

    There hasnt been much mention of Lawrence as opener. To me he did a very good impression of Crawley, even down to the way he got out in both innings, although hes a few inches shorter and his father isnt a millionaire. So likely England XI is? Lawrence Duckett Pope Root Brook Smith Woakes...

    Frequent ball change made by England Team

    The umpires are neutral not english and they decide to change the ball not england. the idea that this has only happened since bazball or stokes is captain is nonsense. I spose the ICC could ban both sides from asking the umps to change the ball and instead make it their duty to check it goes...

    Who are England’s long-term all-rounder options after Stokes and Woakes?

    Well i would call up Sam Cook, similar pace to woakes, but he couldnt bat at 7. The teams falling apart. But theres the england bowling consultant with 700+ wkts sitting on the sidelines.

    *Official* Bangladesh Tour of Pakistan- Test Series

    I had this as a nailed on draw. Wish I'd put a bet on a bdesh win like the rest of the pakistan team ;)
