Heard Atherton earlier put James Vince name forward as potential new England white ball captain, my TV nearly had a size 11 going through it

 

[Tredman]

Vince as England captain and Meslier back in the PL. 2025 is the year which just keeps on giving.

Fuck India, I hope the Aussies beat them again

Does the final get moved to Dubai if India get there?
The ICC are just BCCI puppet masters.
Looking at the last 3 ICC tournaments everything has been done to make things as cosy for India as possible.

 

[Tony Towner]

Yep

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

BCCI are as big a stain on cricket as the bloody hundred

 

[jd1981]

India have bowled well but Darren Mitchell with a strike rate around 56% is getting NZ nowhere.

 

[Tony Towner]

Congratulations to India for managing to win one of the tournaments doctored in their favour

 

[jd1981]

Same hotel, same ground and zero travelling.
Everyone else back and forth to suit their needs.

Mark Wood going to miss all the Tests this summer, time to move on sadly

The IPL is continuing to pursue the fair competition between bat and ball. 286/6 off their 20 overs for SRH today

3-8 so far for Ethan Bamber on Warks debut

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Tom Banton currently 326 not out at Taunton

 

[jd1981]

344 not out that’s some going considering it’s only day 2 and Worcestershire have already batted.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Out for 371 this morning

Elsewhere looks like Brook is getting the T20 captaincy (it's more or less by default)

The ECB has confirmed that Yorkshire batter Harry Brook will succeed Jos Buttler as the new captain of England Men’s white-ball teams.

 

[Tony Towner]

I know they went to Root and Stokes first and got knocked back and don't really have an alternative, but not sure he's ready for the 50 over side when it's not much cop
