Benjamin_Nevis Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Hopefully a comprehensive India series win. Main prediction: Loads of whining about pitches from ex England players should India dominate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a non-exclusive deal, so sky could still come on board with it as well. Brilliant to have live test cricket on free to air again though, it's been far too long. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pope likely to replace him and bat at 3 Without calling a player getting injured good fortune, I think Pope batting at 3 is the long term solution for England, so it's good to see him getting a shot there. I do think his original omission was a touch of cowardice from the selection group, though. It's like they didn't want to make a hard decision on the selection, so put out the "he's still not back to full fitness" line as a way to avoid it. Convenient that he's ready to play a week later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorge Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Going from watching the test match to the Abu Dhabi corporate slogfest on telly tomorrow is literally going from the sublime to the ridiculous. I know it's technically 'cricket', but Chris Gayle hitting a plain white orange for 80-odd off 22 (balls , not overs) yesterday just feels a bit hollow. 3-1 India, I reckon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence at 3 with Pope at 6. Good start by England but there is absolutely nothing in the pitch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 England going along very nicely. Sibley uncharacteristically looking like a test match batsman. Good toss to win by the looks of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
