England will make over 250 and win.
I know Ireland aren't the strongest opposition but our 50 over side is now seriously good.0 -
Banton out. Wondering if Ireland can come back. With their colour TV and record collection of Bob Marley0
-
Squad is so strong now.
I'd like to have seen Sam Hain given a chance over James Vince in this series. We know Vince is a decent cricketer, he's just not quite good enough to be a success at International level.1 -
The usual suspects pissing away their gilt edged chances to have a net against moderate opposition
Bairstow, Vince and Moeen Ali all finding crap ways to get out when facile 50's or even tons were there for the taking. England now got to bat time for 10 overs or so to ensure they see out their full allocation and set an unreachable target.
England won't get licence from Pakistan to carry 2 let alone 3 passengers.1 -
Ha shows what I know. Root is key to us as others bat around him. Surely Vince and Ali are living on borrowed time. Ali looks like a walking wicket and he twice nearly ran Billings out in his 5 ball innings.0

Experimental squad to keep the test and one day squads separate and safe. I would rather watch a weakened England team than no cricket.StigThundercock said:The usual suspects pissing away their gilt edged chances to have a net against moderate opposition

as the test and odi series is against Pakistan, I expect some of the big guns to return which means the passengers won’t playBairstow his stats in odi’s are very good. Sometimes it won’t come off for him, sometimes it will. Vince, I agree with you. Ali, a very dangerous player, just going through (a long) bad patch.2 -
Morgan has a groin strain so won't field (or Captain)
Interesting that Moeen is vice captain for this series, when his place in the team is hardly secure. Does he have much captaincy experience?0 -
One could argue that DBD at Kent is in a similar position. Except, with the absence of Crawley and Denly plus skipper Billings they have no one left in the squad to replace him!killerandflash said:Morgan has a groin strain so won't field (or Captain)

They would ask Darren Stevens, but he needs some more experience firstAddick Addict said:

This is tight
Come on Ireland0 -
Well done Ireland!
Really good for cricket as well2 -
Great result, far more exciting than the play off final0
-
Fancy scoring 106 and you’re the third highest Irish run maker.

What a result! Paul Stirling now adorns the cricket group chat picture!0

3 failures for Vince and Moeen0
-
And Roy (25 runs this season in his last 4 innings against Ireland). Moeen didn't bat in the first game but hasn't taken a wicket in the series either.killerandflash said:3 failures for Vince and Moeen0 -
It is difficult to comprehend how a ball which is over a yard beyond the boundary can't be considered just that - a boundary!3
-
Didn’t look like a boundary to me. What about if the ball is headed for a 6 and the fielder jumps and pushes it back over the boundary rope onto field, even better what if someone is backing up and catches the push back.Not a six and instead a wicket.Cricket has never believed in a hypothetical vertical wall rising to the sky above the boundary rope and once you pass through the non-existent wall the ball is out of play and a boundary.
In rugby, touch kicks are the same, the ball can be metres the other side of the touch line but it is not out of play until the ball hits the deck or the player touching the ball hits the deck.0 - Sponsored links:

Not suggesting that it is a boundary - just the fact that the modern day cricketers are such athletes and practised at saving runs in such a manner. Colin Cowdrey wouldn't even get his whites dirty in the slips or venture to the boundary unless it was time for lunch!Alwaysneil said:Didn’t look like a boundary to me.

Yes, you assume that he got dietary tips at Middlesex from Mike Gatting!siblers said:

Pakistan win the toss and bat first
England unchanged from the 3rd Test, so look thin in their batting. Presumably Stokes won't bowl0 -
Full credit to Ireland..good result for cricket2

Buttler drops one off Bess 🙃0

Buttler has looked uncomfortable this session.kentaddick said:Buttler drops one off Bess 🙃
What must Foakes have done not to get a chance.1 -
Unpopular opinion, but I think Jofra Archer is over rated & too inconsistent. I'd rather see Sam Curran or David Willey in the side0

He is a genuine 90mph bowler but for some reason bowls around the mid 80s for long spells.
Someone like Wood for instance always seems to go flat out.1 -
Bloody Manchester weather!0
