    Road to the Ashes 2021/22

    As I said, five of the England football team are not vaccinated. Also ''one-two players'' could be Jimmy Anderson or Joe Root (probably not but for sake of argument).

    Road to the Ashes 2021/22

    Your reedited version is probably correct also but I just don't care about an Ashes set in an fascist state with half the team missing and no away fans. Just delay the thing until normality is resumed and North Korea liberates Australia.

    Road to the Ashes 2021/22

    Stipulations on being double-jabbed will inherently mean some of the team won't be attending irrespective of hotels (https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/cricket/england-ashes-australia-covid-vaccine-25123355). For comparison, five of the England football team in doubt for Qatar...

    Marcus North

    South Northumberland's finest and now our director of cricket. See him often out and about on the cricket scene - you still see him at South North occasionally.

    ***Official*** 5th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester - 10th-14th of September

    The elephant in the room is that it can take 40 mins for the results of a rona test. When did this news story generate - I heard rumblings on it yesterday?

    ***Official*** 5th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester - 10th-14th of September

    Sad day for cricket if it is the IPL that is the priority here, prompting the letter.

    ***Official*** 5th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester - 10th-14th of September

    Just to add they managed to get Warks v Hants up and running when a squad member tested positive, although Durham v Surrey was, like this test match, written off - they gave us a few days' warning though (heard on the grapevine that the Surrey lot were already in Durham training)...

    ***Official*** 5th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester - 10th-14th of September

    Women's (50o) cricket on at Sale if anyone is left with their dick in their hand Manchester way. Just started now.

    Northumberland are simply dreadful, although they did actually manage to win a game this season!

    2021 English Cricket Season

    Not to be. We bowled fairly well but our top order, who've been brilliant all campaign, failed spectacularly and we couldn't get back in the game thereafter. Glamorgan bowled extremely well and got wickets when they needed to, although there was some completely brainless batting from Durham...

    Thanks. There is a live stream on ECB's website by the way for those without sky. You have to register.

    Forecast iffy from 6ish. Could be Duckworth-Lewis. We'll see... Potts and Raine in Durham squad, although not Carse. Glamorgan unchanged.

    2021 English Cricket Season

    Yes, Rush isn't much of a death bowler. That is true with the one exception (for us) of Jack Campbell who only came in for that one match as van Meekeren was contracted for the Caribbean. The rest of the team sheets have been consistent, so it would be a shame for any of the others to lose a place.

    I may have gone but went to Scarborough, which was their only defeat in this competition (Rushy got pelted for 3 boundaries in final over). Hadn't been to North Marine Rd before. Lovely seaside ground - like an amphitheatre with old fashioned bleachers. Viv apparently made a century there.

    2021 English Cricket Season

    I cannot go as it is too short notice unfortunately. I'll be following and know a few who are going. There are rumours the Hundred players can return as Northern Kings XI Hyderabad Sunrisers have been knocked out of 100 so that is Carse, Potts and Raine? I'd go Carse for Campbell and probably...

    Only Durham's bowling has really been affect by Hundred, losing Potts, Carse and Raine, however the newbies have performed well, and Rushworth is still there. Surrey have been decimated by 100. We'll see though - I'll be there. Homecoming for Stoneman and Cameron Steel also.

    Surrey v Gloucestershire play tomorrow, winner playing Durham in semi on Tues, winner of that playing Essex in the final at Trent Bridge on Thursday.

    Some teams suffer than others. Surrey and Essex are hammered by the hundred. 12-apiece I believe.

    40 years since Botham’s Ashes

    There are two good dvds on this. Botham's Ashes and From the Ashes. First one is the Headingley highlights. Second one a documentary.
