The Cricket Thread 2016

[Villan For Life]

Yet again we've had a spell of 10 overs halfway through an innings where we've scored slowly and a cluster of wickets has fallen. It's pathetic that we can go so many overs in one day Cricket without scoring a boundary.

Between overs 31 and 40 we scored 33-4.

[dcdavecollett]

Another terrible collapse.

Bell out!!

Oh...

Has anyone been watching the T20 All Stars games being played in the American Colonies ?

The final game is in LA on Sunday

There's not many English greats appearing as shown by the name they chose in the blurb on the Dodgers website

The historic tour marks the first time these super stars have played in the U.S. Sachin and Shane will each captain a hand-picked team featuring some the best cricketers to ever play the game including Wasim Akram (Pakistan), Brian Lara (West Indies), Muttiah Muralitharan (Sri Lanka), Jonty Rhodes (South Africa) and Michael Vaughn (England), among others.

This has been a really good start from Roy and Hales, we need to make sure we maintain the momentum and don't have cluster collapses again.

[PaulWinch again]

Excellent hundred from Hales. We really need to up the run rate in these last few overs.

[Dr Butler]

should get over 300 in my opinion...should be a cracking game from now on.

We're at least 20-30 short of what we should have got, but hopefully what we've got is enough.

[Dr Butler]

the Pakistani's bowled well at the death so it will be tough defending that score as they can score quickly and score big.

England need early wickets to stem that run rate...

Nice over from Woakes, took a wicket and conceded a single.

[PaulWinch again]

It's been a good effort.

[adrenachrome]

Well deserved wicket for Rashid, who has found a good rhythm. Has his googly working well. 80/6.
