I'd agree with this, they're much better at chasing to so the toss is vital

Sadly we have lost the toss and we are in a hole already.

I was travelling that day and got home to see the last over, 19 to win ? Home and dry i thought, 4 balls later......
It was badly bowled , has to be said, no matter how sorry you feel for Stokes. Nobody seemed to talk to him between balls, and he didn't change tactic. However, incredible pressure, and superbly hit so don't blame him - the capt. should have taken more responsibility and at least talked to him between balls.
My hatred of 20/20 increases

Re: Cricket
See SL have reverted to form today. Shame they almost made it look competitive yesterday. Can't help think us and the Aussies are the only countries that take Test cricket seriously. Seems to fading in this country too, the corporate money has taken over. The tests in Headingley and Durham had mostly empty grounds - as long as they have their corporate boxes and Sky have the tv rights no on seems to care. Maybe they can paintbox the crowd in future.

Re: Cricket
Looks like the cricket team are taking their cue from the football team. 35-4 after 9 overs.

Re: Cricket
Here' s hoping Pakistan provide some competition. SL were embarrassing. Bound to be some controversy with Pakistan, which always adds to the entertainment

Re: Cricket
Indeed Pakistan do produce some very talented cricketers but sadly for many years some of their players have shown unacceptable inappropriate behavior which has tarred the game of cricket.
