Re: English Cricket
A more even contest today/night, could still go either way.

Re: English Cricket
Two bad decisions turned the game, firstly Stokes/Buttler using DRS when they both knew Stokes had hit it, then the appalling LBW against Curran who had no appeal left. :rolleyes:

Re: English Cricket
The still young Lancashire batsman Haseeb Hameed scores his first ‘first class’ century since 2016 following a double hundred in a warm up game last week. Let’s just hope for his, Lancashire and England’s sake that he has turned a corner and come through his past two seasons of purgatory. In some ways it mirrors the mistakes made in Jimmy Andersons early career when people who thought they knew better tried to mess with Andersons unusual action.
Apparently Hameed has spent two years trying to hit the ball harder to make progress in the white ball game to the detriment of his natural technique. |

Re: English Cricket
Things are going much better at the other Old Trafford where I am also a member. Young Lancashire (and England) bowler Saqib Mahmood has put two seasons of injury problems behind him and is knocking them over for fun. 6 for 37 against Northants last week and 5 for 14 today as they skittled the Foxes for 80 all out.:)

Re: English Cricket
International season starts tomorrow, Eng v Ireland in Dublin. Forecast of 8c and possible drizzle, nice !
World Cup at the end of this month, then the Ashes. These things don't seem as exciting as they used to. Too much cricket or I've got old ? ;) |

Artificially imposed boundaries count for nothing, Merseyside, Greater Manchester, Cumbria, just meaningless labels. Liverpool and Manchester have and always will be in Lancashire. :o:

Gave those Irish a good thrashing today. Humoured them too by letting them think they were going to win and letting them bowl most of us out.....

A bit of sneaky wicket keeping thrown in as well.:D

Re: English Cricket
The scores are starting to get a bit silly in 50 over cricket. No longer an even contest between bat and ball. Rule changes have all been in the batsmens favour. Just an extended 20/20 slogfest.
Geoffrey Boycott knew how to build a proper one day innings ;) |

Disappointing Eng v Afg. warm up game. Needed Eng. to bat first for a game, the Eng capt. is a spoilsport ! Bet they go on to beat us in the actual World Cup !

Pakistan v Windies a bit of a non event/mismatch.
Widnes looking to be coming good at the right time, scored 421 a few days ago against what is supposed to be one of the better attacks, New Zealand. :( |

Re: English Cricket
Didn’t actually see any of it. In the middle of a major refurb of the whole back garden.Nearly finished a 3 by 4.8 metre decking area that will have a summer house in the corner when it arrives. Then rotavating , several tons of topsoil and re turfing the main area.
A wake up call for sure, better now than in the semis or finals. |
Re: English Cricket
It’s a good job the West Indies have the DRS system to rely on, the umpiring has been way below standard in this match. Haven’t seen it all but they have had at least 3 lbw’s and a caught behind overturned already. :rolleyes:

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/20...y_to_clipboard Nice :) Some of it has been on Sky Sports Mix anyway, the rest mostly rained off ! Cricket has slowly realised that money isn't everything, with a new version of the game coming to the BBC as well. |

Watching the West Indies v New Zealand from Old Trafford, noticing the good crowd/wicket and thinking back to the England v Afghanistan match there as well, it makes me wonder why we bother to play games at Headingly. Turgid pitch, poor crowd even for an England game it wasn’t sold out. Miserable Yorkies don’t deserve any games. :rolleyes:
