Re: English Cricket

Cricket World Cup final could yet be shown on free-to-air platform

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.

That would be warmly greeted by FTA viewers but one has to be wary that there ain't a catch somewhere along the line.

Re: English Cricket

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.

Nothing to do with you being a Lancashire man Jim then.

It looks like that is rubbing off on our cricket team today as well.

Re: English Cricket

As I am still in the middle of my major back garden project I only watched the first four overs. I thought that the Aussie score was a good fifty or more runs than England would get.

I think my time was much better spent, just need a good hot day for the railings to dry out before I treat them.

You have done a very good job there Jim.

Re: English Cricket

Why thank you Den, my back is telling me I need a good soak in the bath now, as for England they look to be heading home early, at least they haven't far to go.

When the pressure has been on England's batting has crumbled sadly Jim.
