    *Official* Sri Lanka Tour of South Africa 2019

    Pretty ballsy to celebrate like that with one ball left. Bowl one full toss that also goes for six and he could have potentially ended up on one of those 'never celebrate too early' compilations. A fate worse than death

    *Official* Australia Tour of India 2019

    Doesn't mean that they have to wear military colours though? Black is a pretty universal colour of mourning I'm not saying that that wasn't what they were doing with the military caps, just that it doesn't work that great as a separate and isolated commemoration of the victims in the context...

    *Official* Australia Tour of India 2019

    What are the ICC's stance on political gestures in cricket anyway? Haven't some teams been punished for similar messages or am I just getting this confused with football (i.e. the whole poppy fiasco with England) I agree with what some people have said here. Black armbands or even caps, would...

    England players and selection discussion thread

    Roy probably isn't that bad of a choice at the moment since, as others have pointed out, no one else has really put themselves forward. That being said, pining him as the next in line before the start of the county championship, when a lot of players are going to have a good many oppertunities...

    *Official* Australia Tour of India 2019

    Think the performances of Windies and Australia respectively are an eye opener that there isn't necessarily an awful lot to separate the best from the rest at the moment. These were about as full strength Indian and English sides as you can probably get. The telling test will obviously be...

    He's making up for it here though to be fair

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    Never two on there ffs. Not only has Billings struggled to put bat on ball, I think he's run Root out as well

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    Really need to bin Billings to be honest. Has had so many opportunities to perform and has never taken them. I feel for him to some extent in that he seems to carry the drinks more often than he plays, but there are so many players who deserve a chance than him, and I am convinced that because...

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    Just gonna have to hope Ali finds form again come the World Cup because he is otherwise so important to our bowling lineup. Not a great wicket taker but was consistently bowling tidy in the middle overs. Would Liam Dawson be worth having in the WC squad? Couldn't hurt for Moeen to have...

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    Rashid's 5-85 has got to be one of the most expensive 5 wicket hauls in ODI history hasn't it?

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    Can see why Butler was frustrated there. If he holds back taking the bowls off for half a second he has him

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    ffs 2 wickets in the over but it still went for 10+

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    Bit of an arrogant 2 ball innings that one

    This match is gonna do Archer a lot of good

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    A big score from Hales and a decent one from Bairstow would genuinely leave us with a selection dilemma here

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    Reckon West Indies could be rogue contender in the upcoming WC and will at least be challenging for the semi-finals. Hugely competitive against England so far, and were to an extent against India in India as well (iirc, they lost the series 2-1 and tied one game didn't they?) Gayle, Hope...

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    I think Morgan said Hales will be batting 3 at the toss. Hales might suit 3 better than 5 but I equally think Root suits 3 better than 4. If its a toss up between who bats out of position then I'd rather Root stay at 3 since he has less ability to accelerate
  18. B

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    I'm sorry but why does Hales displace Root at 3? This ruins a large part of our batting lineup's balance ffs. Would much rather have him in the middle order where Stokes was if not opening the batting

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    Woakes has been a solid no.8 for our ODI team in terms of batting. He has scored a few 50+ NOs to help us win/tie games that we looked relatively far from reaching a result (That tied game against SL and a win in the Carribean last time we toured comes to mind). If Curran stays in the team, he...

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    Ffs Wood is so frustrating. Bowled incredibly today but this doesn't happen consistently enough. If he was able to produce this level of pace and accuracy every game he would probably be an automatic pick for the team. But as it is, he averages 50 for a reason. Saying that, it's been a good...
