Missing out of the glory and going all the way to Oz at this time of year for just 3 ODI matches. If you’re part of the one day squad but also in the test team you’ll be preparing for the Pakistan series so you won’t be there. It’s just bizarre, even by the standards of the crazy schedule England cricketers are used to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then we threw it away today, play proper cricket bat the overs and we win, some terrible batting after Vince was out. Meaningless series in everything but the fact it's the fucking Aussies, if we're going to play them make sure it's our first team or don't bother IMO.

RobinRobin 14520 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 You don't live here. Especially after their hopeless defence of the T20 - bearing in mind they only won that by winning the toss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 26385 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 quite an opening day in pakistan! three of the of the four centurions got there with a strike rate of over 100. only duckett fell short - with a SR of 97....! at this rate we could put on a 1000 runs before the close of play on day two. this is test cricket in name only 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seen that if they had been able to play the full 90 overs, at their current run rate they would have been over 600! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonpack 15614 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Up early to watch and apart from Brook’s mere 27 off the over, it’s all been a bit test matchy, last half an hour ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon so, another 40/50 was my thought at the time, was completely surprised by the timing, thought they'd go another 30 minutes after tea yesterday.

Dr Gloom 26385 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 it makes for an entertaining final day but all pakistan needed to do was tick along at 3 an over - the lowest run rate of the game so far. you're basically backing the bowlers to take 10 wickets on the flattest of flat decks. pakistan haven't needed to take the sort of risks they might have if they were chasing 380-400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
