die hard doonhamer Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Second test and South Africa won the toss this morning and decided to have a bat. They were bowled out for 151, which is about 25 more than it should have been thanks to England’s continued ludicrous tactics to the lower order. JUST BOWL AT THE FUCKING STUMPS. England 5/1 with Lees gone, he got a beauty tbf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than a touch odd. Hope there’s none of the Handsies going on. Edited August 26, 2022 by Savage Henry 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you, I found it a bewildering decision to bat first given the conditions this morning. Very peculiar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 England 308/5 at tea, a lead of 157. Stokes is on 98, Foakes on 61, and the partnership is worth 161. Some excellent batting from England, but very questionable tactics from South Africa. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forfarshire have followed up last week’s T20 cup win by defeating Ayr in the Scottish Cup final (50 overs) today to secure the cup double. A superb finish to the season from them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Anyone watching the Stokes thing on Amazon Prime? Comes across as a very complex bloke - not necessarily a particularly likeable one, either - but it certainly explains the Bristol incident very much in his favour. Worth a watch if you’re bored. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched it the other day. It is interesting, though I did find the main interview that it is centred around very uncomfortable viewing, he was clearly a very broken man when that was filmed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eednud Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) In the 3rd and final ODI in Townsville Ryan Burl took a career best 5/10 as Zimbabwe bowled Australia out for 141 with cheating kunt face Warner missing out on a century by 6 runs. Unfortunately Zimbabwe struggling at 5/78 after 19 overs. ETA Forgot to add that Australia were all out in 31 overs. Also pleasing that Zimbabwe held out and won by 3 wickets (7/142 in 39 overs). This was Zimbabwe’s first win against Australia in Australia. Edited September 3, 2022 by Eednud 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Alex Hales called up to England's T20 world cup squad to take Bairstow's place. It's his first call up since 2019, and no surprise that it's only come after Eoin Morgan has stepped aside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
