But at least you saw the rarity of a English player scoring a ton.;)

Did you see any of Pakistan v Australia? Now there was an exciting match... 14 wickets fell in 5 days, i.e less than 3 a day ! Still, nice to see cricket back in Pakistan.

What an absolute shambles, needs ROOT and branch surgery. His captaincy is very poor at the best of times but to be brutally honest the whole team is just not good enough.:mad:

Re: English Cricket
 

Root should have stepped down from the captaincy a long time ago as its been very clear for a long time that he does not possess the skillset to be a good captain.

As for England's batting its been a shambles generally for several years now.

Re: English Cricket
 

He's not captain material, but we're kidding ourselves if sacking him will solve England's problems. Too much white ball, money chasing, "100'/20/20 crap. We've forgotten how to play proper cricket.
Not the players fault it's those that run the game in this country. They are only interested in money/tv contracts.

Re: English Cricket
 

l very much agree with all your sentiments there Mr K.

Whether anything changes is another matter.

Re: English Cricket
 

Joe Root resigns as England captain. If he concentrates on his batting that will be good for all concerned.

Re: English Cricket
 

l agree.

Is this ‘wokeism’ gone mad. Just checking on Lancashires Roses match today at Headingley, to find the ground is now called The Clean Slate Headingley. :confused:

All to do with keeping Test Matches (i.e money)

Yes, a very aptly named Indian media and streaming company called Clean Slate Studios apparently.

Re: English Cricket
 

Off to the other Old Trafford shortly. First T20 of the season against the old enemy.

Both sides stacked with top notch batsmen, come on Lanky.:cool:
