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 (seven years ago)

Anyone remember Geoff Thomas? He was seriously fast for England.

Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Sunday, 10 February 2019 19:05 (seven years ago)

he's just got another one! Amazing

Neil S, Sunday, 10 February 2019 19:12 (seven years ago)

This is proper. WI can't handle it.

It does need to be said that Brathwaite started the collapse with maybe the worst shot a Test captain has ever played

imago, Sunday, 10 February 2019 19:21 (seven years ago)

Don't break yersel, Mark!

Good cop, Babcock (Chinaski), Sunday, 10 February 2019 19:31 (seven years ago)

xp

since KP?

Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Sunday, 10 February 2019 19:44 (seven years ago)

Broad! What a catch!

imago, Sunday, 10 February 2019 20:38 (seven years ago)

WICKET!
Broad follows that with a superb one-handed catch to dismiss Joseph and Windies are nine down:

Wood gets his fifth

154ao

groovypanda, Sunday, 10 February 2019 20:43 (seven years ago)

a helluva catch

Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Sunday, 10 February 2019 20:46 (seven years ago)

shannon gabriel must fancy his chances of ripping more than a few out tonight if he bowls like he did in the morning

Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Sunday, 10 February 2019 20:46 (seven years ago)

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 (seven years ago)

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 (seven years ago)

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 (seven years ago)

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 (seven years ago)

There really is noone else, is there?

Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Sunday, 10 February 2019 21:04 (seven years ago)

Hildreth, I guess?

I wonder if we'll see Bell again too...

Good cop, Babcock (Chinaski), Sunday, 10 February 2019 21:08 (seven years ago)

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 (seven years ago)

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 (seven years ago)

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 (seven years ago)

Moeen!!!! What a catch!! Wow!!!

Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Tuesday, 12 February 2019 14:39 (seven years ago)

Taking Stokes off at 48no feels wrong

Elitist cheese photos (aldo), Tuesday, 12 February 2019 14:45 (seven years ago)

This could be all over today

10-3

groovypanda, Tuesday, 12 February 2019 15:10 (seven years ago)

I think that's probably innings of the century so far?

imago, Saturday, 16 February 2019 14:12 (seven years ago)

Perera? Extraordinary - against, Steyn, Rabada and Philander, too.

Good cop, Babcock (Chinaski), Saturday, 16 February 2019 16:05 (seven years ago)

Well, not the injured Philander, but yes

imago, Saturday, 16 February 2019 16:57 (seven years ago)

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.

Thus Spoke Darraghustra (Oor Neechy), Wednesday, 27 February 2019 16:57 (seven years ago)

Buttler 100 in 60 balls.

Thus Spoke Darraghustra (Oor Neechy), Wednesday, 27 February 2019 17:00 (seven years ago)

Morgan 100 in 86 balls

Thus Spoke Darraghustra (Oor Neechy), Wednesday, 27 February 2019 17:06 (seven years ago)

World Record for most sixes in an innings goes to England.

Buttler out for an amazing 150

Thus Spoke Darraghustra (Oor Neechy), Wednesday, 27 February 2019 17:27 (seven years ago)

418 - 6.

Thus Spoke Darraghustra (Oor Neechy), Wednesday, 27 February 2019 17:30 (seven years ago)

what a game

Thus Spoke Darraghustra (Oor Neechy), Wednesday, 27 February 2019 21:47 (seven years ago)

three months pass...

Windies not being v respectful here

specific goats my way (Noodle Vague), Friday, 31 May 2019 12:09 (seven years ago)

Awesome.

Ned Caligari (Tom D.), Friday, 31 May 2019 14:10 (seven years ago)

Thought Gayle was trying to finish it inside 10 overs, i'm sure the sponsors will have a word

specific goats my way (Noodle Vague), Friday, 31 May 2019 14:39 (seven years ago)

So glad they cut down the number of nations, the telly people just would not like all the one sided results.

Tokyo Ghetto Stüssy (King Boy Pato), Sunday, 2 June 2019 03:57 (seven years ago)

Seems like teams are getting nosebleeds having to bat beyond 20 overs.

The Guts of Duran Duran (Tom D.), Sunday, 2 June 2019 09:35 (seven years ago)

Bangladesh bucking the trend by building a useful total against SA.

The Guts of Duran Duran (Tom D.), Sunday, 2 June 2019 12:21 (seven years ago)

Excellent from Bangladesh.

The Guts of Duran Duran (Tom D.), Sunday, 2 June 2019 17:28 (seven years ago)

Pakistan at over 6 an over for first 12 against England.

Moeen's just got a wicket though.

groovypanda, Monday, 3 June 2019 10:38 (seven years ago)

Great over from Ali.

ShariVari, Monday, 3 June 2019 17:26 (seven years ago)

Zindabad!

ShariVari, Monday, 3 June 2019 17:51 (seven years ago)

Not sure if that was more 'lol england' than it was 'lol pakistan'

Tokyo Ghetto Stüssy (King Boy Pato), Monday, 3 June 2019 21:46 (seven years ago)

england can't field that badly again, surely

imago, Monday, 3 June 2019 21:48 (seven years ago)

sri lanka bringing the bad

imago, Tuesday, 4 June 2019 11:55 (seven years ago)

Duckworth-Lewis to the rescue?

John Harris is a Guardian columnist (Tom D.), Tuesday, 4 June 2019 12:14 (seven years ago)

these guys tried to run a cricket world cup in ENGLAND?? hello?? i dont know if you noticed, but theres rain there? U gotta use your heads folks

Tokyo Ghetto Stüssy (King Boy Pato), Friday, 7 June 2019 09:52 (seven years ago)

Just the 386 runs for England.

Plunkett gets 27 off 9 balls at the end

groovypanda, Saturday, 8 June 2019 13:26 (seven years ago)

afghanistan just can't keep a good thing going with the bat
