peasy23 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Interesting start - England 4/2 off 4 balls. Roy and Root both out with the first 2 balls of the innings !Recovered well through a 100+ partnership between Bairstow and Billings, but both went quite quickly. England 221-6 from 41 overs, 300 still in range. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaggyness Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Given where they were after 2 deliveries 302 is a good total. Gives England a chance. Would be a record chase at old Trafford if the aussies manage it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lichtie78 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Australia changed their shitty sheets to clean ones, and England now have the shitty ones. Still time for Australia to re-shit the bed tho... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 England get a wicket, but is it too late? Maxwell the man out for 108. 18 from 15 needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I'm no expert, but putting your worst bowler in for the last over whilst your most economical one still has an over he can bowl might've been a terrible decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan gambled everything on Starc not reading the googly and holing out to somebody with a catch. Fair play to Starc though for howking the first ball he faced over the rope for 6. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 You have to applaud the Windies, Pakistan and Australia for making the effort to come over to play this summer. It would have been very easy just to say it was going to be too much hassle and stay at home.Been some excellent cricket and from England's point of view two huge personal milestones for Anderson and Broad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Khaki Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 One of the things I find most remarkable about Jimmy is wondering where he might be now if he hadn't been in and out of the side prior to 2010, they hadn't messed around with his action so much, and if he hadn't begun his career spearing at least one delivery an over down the leg side. 700 wickets? Challenging Murali's numbers? I'll hold my hand up and admit that I never rated the guy prior to 2010'ish, but what he's achieved is fantastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 The final of the Bob Willis trophy has been a very good game with day 5 live on the BBC Sport website. Somerset scored 301 in their first innings, with Essex hitting 337-8dec in reply, with Alistair Cook scoring 172. Somerset then declared on 272-7 setting Essex a last day run chase of 237 to win. They are currently 61-2 at lunch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rule is that if the game is drawn then the team with the best first innings score wins the trophy, so Essex can play quite defensively as they don't need to chase it down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) Can take or leave the IPL but the last two games have been ludicrous. Mumbai needed 90 off 30, then19 off 6, last over went 1166W4 - super over coming up The wicket was a lad getting out on 99 as well.
