*Official* Pakistan in England 2020

I mean he is not going to try that. Actually think Crawley should be quite well suited to Australia.

They all have to get through India away first anyway...

is the india tour even going to happen?

 

[Pothas]

Well tbf India has to get through Australia here first as well

Genuinely can't wait for that series. It is definitely going to happen right?

 

[Pothas]

is the india tour even going to happen?

Think they will find a way. It might not be in India though.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

is the india tour even going to happen?

Long time away so it might but I would say it looks unlikely. Can't see much cricket worldwide unless you can do it like we have and keep the players locked away.

Stylistically yeah, but there must be a reason why his domestic record is absolutely piss-weak and not even getting much better.

TIL Andrew Strauss has a knighthood.

Thus far all systems go afaik. The great thing is Melbourne is utterly infested atm so Boxng Day likely time be somewhere like Perth. Hahahahahahaha

4-0 Australia

Services to claiming half volley catches. Cheating arsehole.

Was talk of it happening in the UAE wasn't there? Sri Lanka mentioned as well.

Yeah. You can’t be a tall player at test level in real (ie non-SC) conditions unless you’re awesome off the back dog

 

[Howe_zat]

Strauss reckons Yasir Shah is going to be needed 'to tie up an end'. Bloke takes more wickets a test than Dennis Lillee

 

[morgieb]

he ah. You can’t be a tall player at test level in real (ie non-SC) conditions unless you’re awesome off the back dog

 

[honestbharani]

It won’t end well.

As long as it ends worse for Pope, I am still claiming this.

 

[nightprowler10]

Firmly in the Pope camp here as well. They frequently play his knock against RSA on Willow and it makes for a nice watching.

 

[Burgey]

hayden woeful off the back dog early doors (93-96 or so) but became more than useful at it later in his career. Like well and truly good at it

 

[flibbertyjibber]

I like the way Sibley just plays his own game, the guy at the other end is rattling along but Sibley doesn't try and match him just stays in his bubble. Can think of a few players of recent times who would try to match Crawley and throw their wicket away.

 

[Gremlin]

I'm excited to see promising young players in the England set up. Crawley needs to get that first ton under his belt but it is good to see him improving rapidly.

he's a massive tory and it was theresa may's final honours list.

Has yasir been bowling utter trash or has sibleys game against spin improved? Has seemed a lot more confident against sibley compared to chase.

Pakistan decided to leave midwicket on the fence loads against him to give him an easy single. Windies blocked leg side and choked him
