Cricket 2022 - for all things cricket this year on PFM

[Barrymagrec]

Batting first was the only sure way England could avoid the possiblity of being invited to follow on.

 

[wacko]

Not every team can do a run chase like England can these days....

 

[Aethelist]

Ah. Yeah. That was something to behold this morning. Just brilliant stuff. Rob Key is not getting enough credit for all of this. Game changer.

 

[JonR]

Unbelievable win - I honestly thought Bumrah/Pant/Shami/Jadeja et al were too good and that England were dead and buried. What an incredible turn-around in days 4 and 5. Credit to Root and Bairstow for an incredible run-chase, but I also think Stokes should be credited for his efforts with the ball in India’s second innings, with his four wickets being instrumental in stopping India from batting England out of the game.

Ahem.....#94

Yes great batting by Root and Bairstow , really good news for England overall as a team .I thought there was zero chance of us winning the test ! long may the good form continue

 

[Aethelist]

Yorkshire, Yorkshire. Yes!!!! Cricket. Bloody Hell.

 

[Barrymagrec]

Yorkshire, Yorkshire. Yes!!!! Cricket. Bloody Hell.

They`ve just beaten Surrey in the T20 as well....bugger.

 

[Aethelist]

I was actually referring to the T20. Brilliant game. Never expected that. Given that half the squad are away playing for England.

 

[matthewr]

Time for a bit of T20 today. Will be nice for everyone to relax a bit after all the insanity of test cricket.

 

[Rockmeister]

Wormsley near Stokenchurch, is my favourite

Blimey that wicket's green! Lovely

Last ball,

Blimey that wicket's green! Lovely

It is. Seen several games, women's Ashes test, Beefy's 60th bash etc

 

[Aethelist]

Oh dear. That wasn't good to watch. Chucking pies then batting like amateurs. All credit to India though. They played really well.

 

[peter bj]

yes very poor bowling , many balls with please hit me for 6 please written on them .Then poor batting and unnecessary failed trick shots at the wrong time , Livingstone made himself look particularly dense with his first ball , he had a head cam on and was over confident thinking he was on for a starring role ! EPIC FAIL instead

 

[canonman]

Difficult away match for England today.

Who cares about 20 20, it’s not proper cricket

I do when there is no proper cricket live!

Ir`s just hit and giggle, as Jeff Thomson once said.

 

[Marchbanks]

That was Jeff’s attitude towards England Test batsmen too, as I recall.

 

[peter bj]

Another poor display of batting , overconfident and still the swing at anything approach , you do not have to score a six every ball and why are they not actually trying to hit a less risky 4 along the ground .Glesson was a highlight .great bowling debut
