Cricket: Random Discussion Thread

It was an embarrassing display by England’s batsmen. But for the one miracle innings it would have been 5-0

It’s mental weakness IMO to go down slogging the entire time. No doubt everyone will be getting under their nuts again when they smash the powder puff opposition at home later this year but slog and hope isn’t good enough to beat the best teams…particularly away from home

can somebody check on Dan please?

Unlucky you Kiwis - 2nd spot in test championship now

Was not posting so I didnt jinx the win...

So much for that, we bottles it after a great comeback

Well played Mitch Marsh and Alex Carey

GG

Just looking at the world test championship more I think the Kiwis and England are done - all we have left is a test series against Sri Lanka away and a home series against India. So even if we tie against both countries we are in.

It would be a total travesty for England to be able to make it

Next summer is going to be our biggest summer of cricket in 5 years

In Sri Lanka is no cake walk. But seems Australia is only team that can actually win there except India who never goes there anymore. India series will will be fun and coin flip.

Decent score for a t20

anyone know why these ipl stadiums are three quarters empty

Easter?

I have my suspisions that the batsman at the non-strikers end isn't playing by the rules.

Wait, they're holding some T20 WC games in the US?

Yes, 16 of the 40 group stage matches will be played in the US (8 in NYC, 4 each in FL and TX).

All 10 Group A matches are in the US (IND, PAK, USA, CAN, IRE) as well as six group D matches (SA, SL, BAN, NED, NEP).

The big match is India v Pakistan in NYC (capacity 34k), on June 9.

Northeast with the all-time high score at Lord's (335*) beating Gooch's 333

And that's not even the highest score of Northeast's first-class career.

SRH vs RCB had 549 runs today.

That's more than any other T20 game ever...

boss jutler follows that with the largest successful run chase at 223, after narine belts a century

the grounds are too small. ball goes sideways off the toe of the bat, travels 57 meters and plops over the fielder for six
