The Cricket Thread

Such a sensible chase. The way Stokes has brought us home in the 1/4(ish) and final has been supreme. Sam Curran MOTM for me though, a coming of age tournament for him

Man of the tournament possibly, love how Stokes has buried the horror of 2016

World Champions at both forms of white ball cricket. Lovely jubbly.

First team to do it as well is it to early for some celebration beers?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

No

I had a celebration jar after the moment of the tournament for me.

Watching the ball fly over kohlis head in the semi, to seal the win. Can't stand the shit.

Will Smeed has given up Championship cricket for Somerset to be a T20 gun for hire. Nothing particularly unusual in that, however he is 21.

He averaged 15 in Second XI cricket last season, he probably just isn't that good at red ball. I don't see it becoming particularly common.

Through gritted teeth but this was amazing

Always like to lose today with the comedown from Sunday and fielding a B team, but this is going to be a hammering. Why do we have to see the likes of Willey and Dawson again?

Whoever scheduled this needs shooting.

Did I miss Jason Roy playing himself back into form to deserve a recall?

 

[Carrotdude]

I guess they wanted to give him a last chance for whatever reason. He’s done though, unfortunately.

Not many at the cricket today...

Including the England team looking at the scorecard

 

[Stan Hullis]

They're on the plane home, have been for a week.

Still more than Eng v Iran at the WC

Stupid series that should never have been played

Luke Wright is now a selector

Jofra Archer is bowling for the lions against England in a warm up game today. Nice to see him getting some kind of fitness but I don’t think we’ll see him outside of t20 or ODI’s for England again
