Old English batting habits die hard though.

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

And he was quite a expert at running his batting partners out as well.

But the trouble is he did not look at his partner before going for a run.

Re: English Cricket
Hope England aren’t using up all of their luck/improvisation before the World Cup, amazing run out and c&b from Rashid and an unbelievable stumping/run out from Buttler.

Re: English Cricket
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 !

Re: English Cricket
It's their bowlers we need to worry about, 3 of them ranked in the top 20 in ODI's.
