The Cricket Thread

Usually I’d say it’s on the square leg umpire but that’s pretty obvious

For those without Sky, the ECB are streaming the Bangladesh ODIs for free. Just need to sign up.

I see India have prepared another disgrace of a pitch which nobody will do anything about. At the moment it is is backfiring on them

Not sure how it works but don't they need to win to get a place in the test championship final? With all of Australia's problems they would have hammered them on a normal wicket.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

England team looks far better balanced. Just picking our best bowlers rather than shitty token left armers who aren't good enough. Better batting depth.

Everyone bowled well there too.

Malan in ODIs:

16 innings, 758 runs @ 63.16 (4 x 100s, 3 x 50s, SR 94.16)

I think he may well open in the World Cup.

Bairstow
Malan
Root
Brook
Stokes (if he comes back, which I think he will)
Buttler
Moeen/Livingstone/Jacks
Curran
Rashid
Wood
Archer

 

[Tredman]

Thats a really good team.

 

[Carrotdude]

100 for Roy today, every time I think he’s done he comes back with a score!

 

[Tredman]

Nice hitting from SCurran

Missed our innings and in turn this superb review by Bangladesh.

C'mon ump FFS, stone dead.

Top fielding by Mo

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

This has been a superb performance in all areas.

First time Bangladesh have lost an ODI series at home since 2016 (against us).

Is he still playing? I thought that the man trying to clear his name today regarding racism, Michael Vaughan, wanted him to go round the country asking Muslims he didn't know if they are terrorists?

Vaughan's testimony was less than excellent. Saying the whole thing cast cricket in a bad light rather than admitting that what was said was actually a disgrace. Good batsman, great captain, absolute shitcunt of a man.

 

[Tony Towner]

Nobody involved Vaughan, Bresnan, Hoggard, Gale and Rafiq are coming out of it well

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Yorkshire as a whole look awful too. Absolute mess. Sad times that people thought speaking in that way was acceptable,

 

[leedswolf]

I came to leeds in '79. Nothing has changed that much since then.

 

[Tony Towner]

The balance of this side needs Stokes or alternatively Root as the 3rd spinner if that's how we are going to play in India
