Off Topic England - Cricket

Been saying that for four or five years.

I'd have given up on Archer before giving up on Anderson. Personally. Would have let Jimmy go as long as he wanted if he stayed at the level he's been at.

 

Absolutely. Legend.

 

Mixed feelings on this. An absolute legend of the game and England's greatest ever bowler, but his recent form has suggested his powers are on the wain. It's always better to bow out on your own terms, rather get tapped on the shoulder, but I applaud them for giving him one last game...even more so because I'm going to the 1st day of the Lords test...

 

Can’t believe you forced rain on it!!

 

That would be just my luck. Sat in Headingley Taps for about 7 hours last year waiting for End v Ireland to start....

 

Confirmed in the squad....

 

Anyone at the T20I at Headingley next week?

 

Good article about Jimmy

Good to see Stokes bowling again with a five fer yesterday

 

Durham 351/5 chasing 475 against Lancashire…

 

Canny watch. Stokes getting himself out like a plank reverse sweeping

 

368/5. Ha’way Durham

 

Bugger. 384/8

 

Game over Shame, great effort

 

Hoped it might one of those Stokes innings but it was not to be. Brilliant effort anyway. DCCC are not out of place in Div One

 

Just wasn’t to be for Durham, never mind.

Back on home turf next up against Somerset, starting Friday.

 

Yeah I couldn’t work out stokes reversing! Swung the game that one I think

 

Forecast doesn’t look great for that one
