    Warm Up Games

    Absolute filth being bowled by Bangladesh atm but India's middle order looking in decent touch Feel like West Indies will perform inconsistently this tournament but might very well end up getting the highest score. Frightening batting order with most of them in form

    **Official** Pakistan in England 2019

    Tbh our bowling lineup is quite good now. imo. Obviously not the best in the world (between Ind and SA for that I reckon) but I at least think it will perform well. Archer and Woakes will probably be the opening partnership. Curran the third seamer and Ali and Rashid as the two spinners...

    Predictions

    Yeah you'd think that but no. For some reason Ireland and Scotland tend to be a lot more rainy than the rest of the UK. England is still pretty bad but there shouldn't be too much games dictated by rain delays. I've probably jinxed it now though

    Good test for our batting depth here. Would still say its about even.

    **Official** Pakistan in England 2019

    I think barring a Curran catastrophe in the next 2 games or a Wood breakdown, Willey will likely be the bowler to miss out in the final squad; unless they get rid of Denly which is unlikely.

    **Official** Pakistan in England 2019

    350 plays 350 is good every once in a while, maybe good regularly, but it starts to become problematic when the majority of games play out that way, With one of the two last odis being at Trent Bridge I'm predicted even bigger scores there though

    England players and selection discussion thread

    Do we reckon Wiley will probably be the bowler to make way in the WC squad for Archer? He is the most limited and the most immediately vulnerable in my mind; barring Wood who's injuries could potentially rule him out anyway. The problem is more complicated with the starting xi. I don't think...

    Really nice to see Moeen finding some batting form in white ball cricket; his batting seemed to be declining for England but he has looked so destructive in the IPL

    ***Official*** County Cricket 2019

    Hope to see Pope get a good run in the test side. He averages 50+ in first class so surely he deserves a good chance. As other people have mentioned though, opportunities are slim for middle order bats, with the chance that they are potentially going to get being at 3 (unless Root decides to...

    *Official* IPL 2019

    I mean I'm not necessarily convinced that it weren't a no ball, just saying why I could see it being called as such, and especially from the square-leg umpire who is there specifically to judge these kinds of things that are ultimately missed by the other umpire (as was the case here). I've not...

    *Official* IPL 2019

    I don't know to be honest. It was on its way down and the bat was extended far beyond the batsmen's body. I reckon that would have probably dipped enough by the time it reached him.

    *Official* IPL 2019

    Absolute carnage to chase down 65 in 4 overs. Each season RCB's bowling just doesn't seem good enough. Until they invest in a serious overseas bowling talent I reckon they'll continue to struggle

    *Official* IPL 2019

    Okay, but your first point seems to disregard the escalated importance of backing up and completing runs in t20 cricket. It could be argued that there is more importance in the batsmen backing up as much as possible so that those vital runs can be completed, and hence the possibility of ending...

    *Official* IPL 2019

    Was thinking about the mankading incident again, and the idea of warning the batsmen beforehand. People seem conflicted on this. People on the side of no warning have been comparing mankading to stumpings and that's probably a fair comparison to make, considering both are instances where the...

    Maybe if Ashwin paid more attention to the placing of his fielders than the non-striking batsmen in games...

    *Official* IPL 2019

    Problem is blaming the batsmen is illogical in this specific incident since Butler hadn't even advanced past the crease by the time that the ball would have been released. It's relevant in legitimate examples, but Ashwin literally had to wait for him to actually go past the line because...

    *Official* IPL 2019

    This is a clear manipulation of the rules though. Technically Butler was out of his crease, but only because Ashwin didn't release the ball. If he would have, Butler would have still been in his crease, and this subsequently doesn't constitute an unfair advantage. Mankading is fine, but this was...

    *Official* IPL 2019

    Not sure, but would Jos Butler have been the last batsmen to have been mankaded in an international mens match as well? There's probably been someone else but I'm thinking back to that game against Sri Lanka. In that case, I'd probably say it was fair enough in that case. But this wasn't. Also...

    *Official* IPL 2019

    That's absolutely pathetic. Butler's bat was still behind the line by the time Ashwin was theoretically going to release. It was because of the delay in which he took the bails off that he was out of the crease. I mean he's still out by the laws of the game, but to claim that reflects so badly...
