    England players and selection discussion thread

    Zak Crawley is the biggest example of the sunk cost fallacy I can remember in professional sports, Also, I know it's an incredibly trite observation that's probably been made a million times before (probably about other players too, Vince comes to mind), but his extended place in the team...

    *Official* 2022 New Zealand Tour of England, Ireland, Scotland & Netherlands

    I love how much money and time the ECB has thrown at statistical analysis and getting computers to tell them how many runs they should be aiming to set in a 50 over game with 17.4% chance of drizzle and four batsmen with a fourth finger longer than their middle finger, yet give 25 tests to a...

    *Official* Yorkshire CCC racism crisis thread

    I would vote for any single-issue party that campaigned solely on a manifesto of bringing back national service, but only conscripting stupid boomers who share memes on facebook about doing so.

    The ali dia of cricket. Fascinating stuff. I didn't see another thread or it being discussed in the thread for random inconsequential **** like this so I rolled the dice baby and made a thread...

    1st Test, Edgbaston, Birmingham

    I'm going tomorrow, I think I've been quite lucky on a personal level. When Aus were nowt for 8, and to a lesser extent when mo left this morning I was starting to worry there might not be much of a 4th day at all. I will accept us finishing off the Aus lower order tomorrow then Roy bashing...

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    People acting as self-appointed gatekeepers are universally irritating. You are no exception. You don't get to decide what an England fan sounds like, you daft ****. And on the latter point, I agree, but in the same way I'd rather a slap in the face than a hot poker up my arse.

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    Chill out dad, you're not in the Daily Mail comments section now. I know I've only had about 50 posts on here, but last time I checked this was a neutral message board to discuss cricket, not a safe space for insecure little Englanders. I am an English cricket fan, and want them to win, but I...

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    That interaction between Root and Anderson was painful. I might just be in a grumpy mood but I find this England test side so unlikable. The stink of nepotism and it being an old matey's club doesn't help.

    *Official* England Tour of West Indies 2019

    So glad we dropped Foakes to accommodate Jennings and Bairstow going back down the order. Also delighted that we've essentially vindicated all of YJB's pissing and moaning about how he should be keeper.

    apologies if the point has already been made, but Bravo's brilliant innings here makes an absolute mockery of the English "play your natural game" orthodoxy

    **Official** County Cricket 2018

    That Maure, York****e etc stuff is offensive, but only insomuch as it's ****ing hacky unfunny **** for *****. It's the kind of thing that should have been consigned to the dustbin with bbc's 606 message board.

    Whilst very frustrating at times as an England supporter this test has been excellent entertainment. First day of my fortnight off work was day one of this and ive enjoyed every minute. Scrape to 150 lead and it's still a contest right?

    To briefly interrupt the rap battle, looks like we're meekly surrendering here.
