Brook has to come to the party sooner rather than later as it can't all come from Salt0

But Brook isn't - 10 off 12 isn't doing us any favourskillerandflash said:Salt is peppering the boundary0 -

Salt having a word with Brook at the change of ends. Probably telling him to just get off strike inside of trying to play scoop shots lol0
-
Well that's one way to get off strike I suppose.0
-
Maybe better to move on if he wasn't scoring.0

Hate to say it but is Salt pushing Billings for that finishing role? Salt won't get an opening berth with Roy/Buttler/Banton competing for those positions but as Salt does keep too, we surely wouldn't have Buttler/Bairstow/Banton/Billings and Salt all in the same squad?0

Salt bowled round his legs trying to make room. 57 off 24 is a very good innings in the circumstances.

Is there a separate women's cricket thread?

I'm not really sure why the Woman's ashes is called 'The Ashes'. Think it would've been nice for them to give it a different name like the Ryder Cup/Solheim Cup2

The woman's ashes has nothing to do with golf?......... sorry, I knew what you meant. I'm fishing for lolsPelling1993 said:I'm not really sure why the Woman's ashes is called 'The Ashes'. Think it would've been nice for them to give it a different name like the Ryder Cup/Solheim Cup2 -

Meanwhile The Hundred fixtures that affects all things relating to England cricket in a negative way have been released - games being played, with the exception of 1st September, for 32 consecutive days from 3rd August to 3rd September.
Kent, for example, will have to play eight Royal London matches during that period without anything up to a dozen of their squad. Annual Members will feel cheated about having to watch what is a 2nd XI competition in all but name. No County Championship games or Blast matches whatsoever in August. It will be "answers on a postcard" as to what sort of side Kent will be able to put out for their actual 2nd XI games in that period - they might just as well call it the Academy/Kent Cricket League All Stars although I believe that the ECB have already patented "All Stars".
England play just two Test matches and no ODIs or T20s during the 38 day period between 1st August and 7th September. These are at Lord's and Edgbaston with the final Test being at The Oval on 8th September. So, if you live north of the Midlands you and your children have no internationals whatsoever to watch in the five weeks before the kids return to school and it doesn't matter where you reside if you want to see England play an ODI or T20 in that period because there aren't any.
But let's remember why the ECB are doing this - and it isn't to enhance the County Championship, Blast or Royal London competitions or to improve England's Test side by playing the CC at the height of the summer. Why don't they have The Hundred, if they have to put it on, in and around the Easter break in April? The answer is simple and the same reason why the ECB didn't spend the same resource on The Blast as they did The Hundred. It's called greed and lining ones own pocket.
Let's not forget these are people who made 62 people redundant at the very same time that they awarded themselves a £2.1m bonus. This, despite the fact that the Governing Body made a loss of £16.5m and reserves that stood at £73m in 2016 have now dropped to just £2m. Less than the amount that their executives were paid by way of bonus.
At least no one could accuse Harrison and his cohorts of undermining the game at grassroots level, of ignoring blatant racism or doing nothing that will benefit the national team and in particular the Test side during the period that earned them that bonus.2 -

I think if they called it the Ryder Cup/Solheim Cup it would be really confusing...Pelling1993 said:I'm not really sure why the Woman's ashes is called 'The Ashes'. Think it would've been nice for them to give it a different name like the Ryder Cup/Solheim Cup
