    *Official* India Tour of England 2018

    If we assume he's not good enough for Test Cricket....., England need two new openers. I know Hales hasn't played any 1st class cricket recently, but, why not? What about Roy?

    *Official* India Tour of England 2018

    Nah, It's the back up pitch for a high scoring farewell innings by Cook, should England have the Series in the bag. I seriously dislike the idea Cook is retiring. I realise he's score just five 50+ scores (out of 36 innings), since the start of 2017. I really hope he scores big, flat pitch or not.

    *Official* India Tour of England 2018

    On a serious note: It's a shame it's 3-1! Yet, I still look more forward to this Test, than I might (or should).to a done series. I've been to the first two day of the series. And ever since, it has been great to follow. One thing I wonder: What do we make of Kohli's captaincy? He, obviously...

    *Official* India Tour of England 2018

    I actually do have a far better rate than 50/50. Every time, before the toss, I ask the opponent captain whta he likes to do. If we settle it without a proper toss, I tell my team mates I've won the toss :) . Another way to get to 50/50, is callign heads only when it is a Friday :) .

    A nice moment for Ishant to get a fifty!

    Nice timing, that Kohli wicket. India still comfortably ahead (important, as I want this series to stay alive), but not too much to make this test boring.

    Fair enough. Both things can be true, I guess.

    *Official* India Tour of England 2018

    The "íf you take out his best innings"-arguement is just rotten. Cook is class. Simple as that. And in terrible form. Simple as that. As long as England can't find a half decent opening partner for Cook, it seems rather pointless to me to even think of dropping him. Age is not a factor. He's a...

    *Official* India Tour of England 2018

    It's something I've been looking forward to! And, perhaps overexcited, I've been expecting it as well. For reasons not completely clear to myself, I've always been somewhat of an Ishant fanboy.. He had to come good in England!

    I've missed most of the build-up. Why is Woakes out?

    Maybe I've missed something, but... What is the idea about Adil Rashid over Dom Bess? Anyway: Will be at the Hollies stand days 1 & 2 :) .

    Group G - Belgium, Panama, Tunisia, England

    This post, as well as a few others, has been triggering me. Are you trolling? Or serious? Anyway....... About a dozen other teams, perhaps? We're talking about the team that barely beat Tunesia and than had a field day beating the East Crappingham Pub Team, right? There's only 7 teams...

    ***Official*** Sri Lanka Tour of West Indies 2018

    Didn't we have a discussion about this a year ago or so? I can't remember exactly. But the concensus was that umpires feel (right or wrong) they do not need to pay attention as much, as missed no-balls will be corrected, if a wicket is taken of it. I think that's fair enough, but I remember from...

    I'm not impressed, but I also thought things didn't go his way. How's Alzari Joseph doing?

    ***Official*** Sri Lanka Tour of West Indies 2018

    Been a good test. I figured SL got away in the 3rd innings.On another day, they would have gotten to 250, rather than 350. Maybe I don't give them enough credit? Anyway, I don't know about the ball-tampering-craphola. I really have no idea to how& why of the umpires. And I don't give a rat's...
