beating Sri Lanka 3-0 in Sri Lanka wasn't bad either. No shame in losing overseas to what is a good WI team, and no reason for doom and gloom

A good WI team? Have you told Geoffrey Boycott?

G Boycott should keep his mouth shut
― Neil S, Saturday, 2 February 2019 18:05 (five years ago) link
It seemed to have the desired effect on the WI team - though not the effect Boycott would have wanted.

This series is a pasting for the ages

the WI are not a good side but they have a better attitude. The 20/20 players fucked off.The English players just want to play like KP and they are being found out. England needs some players in the top 4 who can just dig in and lay a foundation for the flair players like Bairstow, Buttler (as keeper and at 7) and stokes.

Funniest thing I've seen in years.

Disappointed it took the Windies so long to knock off the runs tbh.

the collapse is on and Root looks mentally shot. Captaincy is ruining him.

Butler dropped on 0

Hetmyer had that catch all the way
― imago, Saturday, 9 February 2019 18:11 (five years ago) link
It's kinda hard to imagine Butler punishing them innit. I like him a lot and think he should be keeping and batting at 7 with Bairstow @5 but you know he's going to slash at another one soon enough.
This is a hugely important innings for Root. Captains need to be able to score big tons when the team is struggling.
― Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Saturday, 9 February 2019 18:26 (five years ago) link
And Root fails out before tea
― Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Saturday, 9 February 2019 19:21 (five years ago) link
a good day for England. Root is just out of touch, I don't think it's the captaincy.
― Neil S, Saturday, 9 February 2019 22:02 (five years ago) link
I switched the tv off when stokes was c&b as i was feeling a bit dizzy and just found out he got a reprieve!
Why don't umpires look and give no-balls like how they did for a hundred odd years?
― Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Saturday, 9 February 2019 22:23 (five years ago) link
it was a very close call, impossible for the on-field umpire to call I think. Stokes played really well today.
― Neil S, Saturday, 9 February 2019 22:33 (five years ago) link
wrap mark wood up in cotton wool please. Dont overbowl him. 5 over spells.
― Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Sunday, 10 February 2019 18:45 (five years ago) link
There's nothing quite like a fast bowler bowling at 95MPH, eh?Neil S said it watching Mitchell Johnson in Sydney a few years ago in the Ashes.
I grew up in an era when the Windies had 4 of them and a conveyor belt behind them waiting.
― Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Sunday, 10 February 2019 19:04 (five years ago) link
Anyone remember Geoff Thomas? He was seriously fast for England.
― Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Sunday, 10 February 2019 19:05 (five years ago) link
he's just got another one! Amazing
― Neil S, Sunday, 10 February 2019 19:12 (five years ago) link
This is proper. WI can't handle it.
― imago, Sunday, 10 February 2019 19:20 (five years ago) link
It does need to be said that Brathwaite started the collapse with maybe the worst shot a Test captain has ever played

Broad! What a catch!

shannon gabriel must fancy his chances of ripping more than a few out tonight if he bowls like he did in the morning
There can't be a single England fan rooting for Jennings here? Would be such a fucking pisser if he played any sort of innings to keep his spot here
― imago, Sunday, 10 February 2019 21:00 (five years ago) link
I'm torn. I feel bad for the guy but he's plainly not up to it.
I think I'd pick Roy. And Hain has had a decentish tour with the Lions.
― Good cop, Babcock (Chinaski), Sunday, 10 February 2019 21:02 (five years ago) link
haha If he scored a ton he'd be playing against the Aussies who will destroy him (their bowling might well do that whoever we put up, but no point in making it easy for them)
― Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Sunday, 10 February 2019 21:03 (five years ago) link
Roy is a dasher but if he is scoring runs it wont be a problem. Nobody else we try has succeeded.
― Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Sunday, 10 February 2019 21:04 (five years ago) link
There really is noone else, is there?
Hildreth, I guess?
I wonder if we'll see Bell again too...
― Good cop, Babcock (Chinaski), Sunday, 10 February 2019 21:08 (five years ago) link
he would need to score a ton of runs in march/april. I dont see many batsmen doing well in those months, lol
― Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Sunday, 10 February 2019 21:15 (five years ago) link
Gubbins, perhaps, but you wouldn't want him debuting against Australia. Roy seems like as good a pick as anyone.
― Neil S, Sunday, 10 February 2019 22:11 (five years ago) link
tbh I just want someone called Gubbins to play for England, that and Stokes-Foakes-Woakes in the same team
― Neil S, Sunday, 10 February 2019 22:16 (five years ago) link
Moeen!!!! What a catch!! Wow!!!

Taking Stokes off at 48no feels wrong

This could be all over today
10-3
― groovypanda, Tuesday, 12 February 2019 15:10 (five years ago) link
I think that's probably innings of the century so far?

Perera? Extraordinary - against, Steyn, Rabada and Philander, too.
― Good cop, Babcock (Chinaski), Saturday, 16 February 2019 16:05 (five years ago) link
Well, not the injured Philander, but yes

Some incredible batting happening here. England going to get a gigantic total if these 2 can keep going.
Going to be fun watching Chris Gayle in reply for sure.
