The Cricket Thread

[RavenBish]

Another batsman, another pathetic innings, another pathetic dismissal. These strike-rates would be frowned upon in a Test match.

 

[JJH]

Morgan gone.

 

[Skinner]

Come on Taylor, do the biz

 

[RavenBish]

good review boys

 

[DarkSithLord]

good review boys

Absolute shocker. The worst I have ever seen?!

 

[RavenBish]

Next 10 overs decides the game for me. Need a big score to defend on this wicket.

I was just going to say the same. Anything less than 300 from here and we're in trouble.

 

[Pyeman]

I might go to bed and hope that it's all gone well by the time I wake up.

It's the hope that kills ya . !!

 

[RavenBish]

Not sure Root is even capable of clearing this boundary.

 

[RavenBish]

maybe he is then.

 

[JJH]

Root onto 96, he needs to really push on now and start walloping it.

 

[JJH]

Run a ball hundred from Root - played.

 

[RavenBish]

There goes James Taylor, not selected for England for 18 months because he 'couldn't hit boundaries' - cos he's little you see...

England cricket.

 

[Aber gas]

One of them is going to have to have a slog . I fear we'll still be short of runs on this track .

 

[RavenBish]

This is what happens when you play without fear and are pro-active with big shots. Take fucking note.

 

[JJH]

The whole shot selection coming out here boys.

249-4

 

[JJH]

21 from the over.

Roooooooooooooooooooooooooot

 

[Destruction]

It's begun.

 

[JJH]

21 from the over.

Roooooooooooooooooooooooooot

25*

Like that?

Taylor is well capable too, just not with Malinga on attack

 

[DarkSithLord]

Why didnt we bring on Bulter before Taylor??!

 

[Aber gas]

Great to see , but here comes the slinger !!

 

[DarkSithLord]

Here we go Joss! Time to shine.

 

[Skinner]

C'mon Jos, hit a quickfire 20

 

[RavenBish]

Gah, harsh, reckon that might have been a wide if he left it.

This should be Buttler's domain here. As I said with the Scotland game, there's no point him being in the team if he can't hit quick 20/30s at the end of the innings.

 

[JJH]

Here comes Buttler.

 

[Skinner]

Ouch

 

[RavenBish]

Why didnt we bring on Bulter before Taylor??!

Because Taylor is a far superior batsman.

 

[JJH]

Have ee' for starters Buttler.
