Bad feeling England just might get lucky again.

Bravo, they have those in 50 over cricket as well as it says in the article you linked to.
Surprisingly you're right and that's a bloody disgrace. Although I can't help but feel the negative influence of the dire form of the game contributed somewhat to this.

Bowl-out

Another reason why Twenty20 is dire.

Edit: Clip, go to 1 minute mark. Lol at the celebrations as well.
:laugh:

I just watched the clip. It's really bizarre when you hear English phrases thrown into foreign commentary. It's like "................Twenty/Twenty...............Duckworth-Lewis...................Warwickshire.................Heath Streak" :laugh:

I am sure there have been bowl outs for years in some county standard one day tournaments..I dont think its a thing that has come in since twenty20 started up.

I know for sure that it has been around in club cricket in England for a long time

my wife just asked who "BLE" is and I explained. Her response "how sad would you have to be to get banned for being an idiot and then keep on rejoining and doing the same thing. I mean get a life".

Says it all really...
Haha that's made my day

IIRC the first bowl-out in English professional cricket was in 1990.

I mean, I know it's been mentioned, but why has no-one posted
, eh?

That's a disgrace.

Not impressed with Styris? 435 runs with an average in triple figures, plus half a dozen wickets is a pretty decent return in my opinion.
Were all French cuts tbh, the lucky bastard. His wickets are simply the result of the pitches being a disgrace.

He's no more a quality batsman than someone like Collingwood is. They're hard workers who've become decent/good players, but there is no great quality about their batting. Styris has been saved by the rubbishness of the pitches that make the short ball ineffective.
