Carse moved to 7, 0 off 2 balls. Need to find a genuine all rounder or sacrifice a bowler.

Sounds like India took the absolute piss today with a concussion sub - took a batsman out after their innings and swapped him for a bowler for our innings?!

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yeah, technically Dube also bowls but it would be a bit like us swapping out Jacks or Bethell for a frontline seamer.

Regardless we shouldn't have lost, threw it away really and Overton turning down singles in the penultimate over was madness.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Oh and Dube is playing today, 2 days after his "concussion".

Bent as fuck.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

All rounder Jamie Overton with a scorching series average of 5 with the bat.

Good little site:

Is it LBW?

Is it LBW? Test your umpiring skills! International cricket Leg Before Wicket videos – decide if the batter is out or not out. Featuring Kohli, Root, Smith…

I won 43-25 across 30 videos, although a couple were given away by remembering the game (Flintoff to Ponting for example, and Atkinson being on 82 when I know he went on to score 100)

 

[The Bear]

38-29 through 30 vids.

Though I did accidentally click out when I meant not out at one point which lost me 2 points.

 

[Squeak]

Enjoyed playing that... 51 from 30 vids, umpire 28. On some of the videos it is hard because the camera angle isn't close enough to see the point of impact.

That and the framerate also makes it difficult to see the trajectory of the ball after it bounces.

Overton at 7 in a ODI

 

[Tony Towner]

10 ball 6, although tbf all the batsmen got in and didn't really go on looking at the scorecard. Still, we have 2 9s at 7 and 8 and a 10 at 9

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Bethell a doubt for the CT, we've called up Banton (bit of an odd one, can't remember him doing anything of note for years)

 

[BillyDee]

When they recalled Banton did they ask Baby Come Back..?

Todd Boehly has bought Trent Rockets for £40m.

The American businessman told advisors that he believed having a world-class right-back was key to mounting a title challenge with Chelsea in 2025/26.

Not before time, not a fan of the internal appointment though or the headline which makes it sound like the review was done by Jake Humphrey

A High Performance Review you say...started at 5am by any chance

 

[Sniffer]

Team to face Australia - Not that there’s many alternatives but the batting isn’t strong enough.

Duckett , Salt , Smith, Root, Brook, Buttler, Livingstone, Carse, Archer, Rashid, Wood.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Has Smith ever batted at 3 in white ball cricket?

Buttler looks too low at 6 if he isn't keeping.

Having to get minimum 10 overs out of Root/Livingstone is dodgy.
