    *Official* WTC FINAL Australia vs South Africa 2025

    even if RSA get those 2 wkts quickly, someone needs to do a pujara or the WTC goes to oz again. btw what happened to the ICC mace?

    *Official* WTC FINAL Australia vs South Africa 2025

    If England had dismissed Oz for 212 on the 1st day of ashes, it would be wonderful, but then we'd probably also be 40-4 just after 10 overs not 22.

    *Official* West Indies Tour of Ireland and England- May/June 2025

    Windies thrashed us in the caribbean and now we've done the same to them in england, but cp to the top teams our bowling is still a bit lightweight. 75 off the last 4 overs tad embarrassing even with short boundaries.

    *Official* West Indies Tour of Ireland and England- May/June 2025

    Interesting bowling attack for durham/CLS, but thanks to Daws and Rashid fine win. As Jacks and Beth seem to play almost nothing but white ball cricket, dunno why their bowling is so all over the place. Clearly they want Smith to be Buttlers successor since theyv relegated him to no3, but Josh a...

    *Official* West Indies Tour of Ireland and England- May/June 2025

    I hope Rashid can play until hes 40+, cos the rest of our bowlers are crap. Carse looks a shadow of the bowler he was in 5 tests last winter. And injuries have taken the sharpness off Mahmood. 3-0 to us, but what would have happened against a side who can catch?

    English Domestic Season 2025

    Leicestershire with 5 wins from 7 are a revelation compared to recent seasons, with virtually the same squad? And derbys who are usually crap, also remaining unbeaten so far.

    *Official* Zimbabwe in England (One Off Test)

    Selectors must b v happy, all 3 players under the media spotlight did well. But the comms hilited the fact that bash does pitch it all over the wkt which is surely down to how lttle FC cricket hes played outside tests.

    *Official* Zimbabwe in England (One Off Test)

    Big Mac wants england to shoot for the stars and also be humble at the same time. Unconvinced ATM they will achieve either. Very tetchy they are when anyone mentions their preference for golf rather than training practice.

    *Official* Zimbabwe in England (One Off Test)

    think the england - ireland test was 4 days, and maybe the SA - Zimbab as well.

    English Domestic Season 2025

    With all the dry hot weather this spring, seems surprsing that the spinners havnt taken more wkts.

    Since Stokes is unlikely to risk bowling they might go for an all seam attack with Potty and leave out Bash, especially as its TB, doesnt usually favour spin does it?

    *Official* Zimbabwe in England (One Off Test)

    well pope has at least made a 100, played in all surreys games, Duckett had 1 game 59no, Root and Brook playing their first. I thought the whole idea of HB turning his back on the IPL was to play for yorks and prep for the long indian summer, and yet he doesnt play til May.

    English Domestic Season 2025

    There are a lot of Oz 2nd raters doing well in the CC atm, whereas Englands best have usually struggled to bat and bowl effectively in Oz [2010-11 excepted]

    Should play leach instead of Bash, just in case england need a match saving innings by a nighty, plus hes a better bowler and fielder. Our batters are as usual short of FC batting except for Pope and creepy.

    Might be a blessing in disguise. Meanwhile Keys head seems to be swelling upwards

    English Domestic Season 2025

    I thought 1 of the qualifications for new test playing nations was an FC competition. Clearly Afghan dont have that, and i'm not sure there is 1 in ireland anymore.

    England players and selection discussion thread

    Its kind of telling that Somerset loaned him out to Glamorgan. Normally youd think a team would want england test team no1 spinner playing for them, especially with tauntons rep for spinning wkts. But no they prefer to go with Leach. Anyway assuming that Woakes and Carse will be still unfit...

    Bess is such a talent, but not exactly mr consistent himself in the CC. Didnt england management fall out with him just as they have with dawson? I'm guessing part of the reason why bash stays in the squad is that he does what hes told. But theres also Ahmed jnr who hasnt done much so far this...
