    ***Official*** England Tour of the West Indies: December 2023

    England one day side are embarrassing. Mott & Buttler walking the plank, although the guy in charge is completely clueless. If we lose this game there should be one outcome only. I would enact that outcome anyway.

    England players and selection discussion thread

    Seen a lot of Bohannon & Hain on the live streams. Both are impressive & look the part. Sam Cook, & young James Rew also. Seen a fair bit of Dawson as well, scratched my head how he didn’t play for England this year. Smith of Surrey another one.

    *Official* Fifth Test (The Oval, London) 27-31 July

    What you folk completely underestimate, is the sheer competitiveness of these Ashes series. The only thing you can predict is the unpredictability of it all. It changes from session to session, day to day. There is no other series like it. No-one can beat nature & the weather, but you can...

    *Official* Fifth Test (The Oval, London) 27-31 July

    Wish they would get rid of Ponting, his constant whinging & whining is a complete embarrassment. Him & Mcgrath were great players, but hopeless commentators. Good decision by the umpires there, Ben didn’t have control, similar to Stark at Lords. Still a good match though, & if Australia pull...

    England players and selection discussion thread

    What does Ben Compton have to do off the field to be selected? He's done everything required in the middle. The favouritism of Crawley is astounding!

    *Official* South African tour of England and Ireland 2022

    Been watching some County Cricket, & Compton, Jennings, Brook, Lawrence, Hain, all look good. Duckett has a lot of runs. Compton is just under 1300 runs now. Sibley has worked hard & changed his technique a bit & might be worth another shot. I liked what I saw of Bohannon, Yates, last season...

    *Official* South African tour of England and Ireland 2022

    Was at Lords on day two. The South Africa team were fabulous. In the pre game warm up they do some really intense fielding drills & they look fit, healthy, well coached, full of athletic ability, together, & a happy group. England just kicked a football around like undisciplined Schoolkids. That...

    2021 English Cricket Season

    Does anyone know what's happened to the TV coverage of the Vitality Blast? Sky showing Pakistan Super League instead. I'd like to see our own league during our own season please!

    *Official* 2nd Test at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, 13 - 17 Feb 2021

    Rohits innings here was for India what Roots was for England last week. Both were great, & put their sides in charge. Best to move on about the pitch. So this next test then, anyone any idea how this new stadium pitch will play? Are India bringing the Chennai pitch with them? Looks a fantastic...

    *Official* 2nd Test at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, 13 - 17 Feb 2021

    Root had the luck of all ages there! But what goes around comes around. The irony of it..!! Bairstow & Crawley have to play next test, which two miss out? Bess comes back. Olly Stone has been really good.

    *Official* 2nd Test at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, 13 - 17 Feb 2021

    I'm not a fan of a rotation policy as I feel it lessens the competitve spirit within a team. You can kind of understand it with Anderson I suppose but I still dont agree with it. Form & fitness should be the deciding factor. Can someone honestly tell me what Moeen Ali has done to get a...

    *Official* 2nd Test at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, 13 - 17 Feb 2021

    I reckon Stone will get the game along with Broad, Foakes for Buttler the third change.

    *Official* 1st Test at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, 05 - 09 Feb 2021

    Feeling rather pleased with that. The selection mostly as expected. The toss vital. Big first innings runs, thanks again to Captain Joe. So pleased to see him finally coming good again. For us I think Lawrence is a problem, Burns a concern, but we have Crawley & Bairstow to come back...

    *Official* 1st Test at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, 05 - 09 Feb 2021

    Happy with that! How well is Root batting! Sibley again provided the glue which holds it all together. Pitch looks a weird one. Lawrence's technique failed miserably up at three, straight bat required! Spinners 2&3 for India were average at best, I can see Bess & Leach bowling better than that...

    *Official* 1st Test at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, 05 - 09 Feb 2021

    Those who think Moeen Ali should bat at 3 can't follow any English cricket. You need medication if you think that. You think he is a better bat than Dan Lawrence!!! When's the last time he bowled a proper tough spell without getting destroyed?? Bess is a tougher individual on all three counts...

    *Official* 1st Test at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, 05 - 09 Feb 2021

    The best we can put out is..... Burns Sibley Lawrence Root Stokes Pope Buttler Bess Broad/Anderson Archer Leach Top three seriously missing Bairstow & Crawley. The middle order HAVE to make big runs. Burns, Stokes, Pope, Archer. all underdone. India must be huge favourites. Can see this...

    ***Official*** India vs England 2021 General Discussion thread

    If they put Moeen Ali into this team I'm going straight back to sleep! Not good enough & does not deserve to be in the squad let alone selection for a Test match! What are the England selectors thinking?? I’m very concerned that England are unprepared & appearing to not take this tour seriously.

    England have done a pretty good job of putting on Test & International one day cricket through using venues which have a Hotel as part of the ground. Southampton, Manchester, & from memory I think Worcester also has a hotel & could be considered maybe? But what about the rest of the cricketing...
