Is Archer on Rangers books as he keeps getting crocked Lol, really feel for the lad as he will be a big miss this summer

 

Can’t see Foakes not playing against the Aussies, probably just giving Jonny a run out to see how he is

 

Such a shame about Archer, I was looking forward to seeing him having the Aussies jumping around. Bairstow has to play but I wouldn't leave Foakes out. Jonny to open the batting.

 

Sorry dear friend but we Aussies, as you say, are not bothered with jumping around.
It just wouldn't be cricket, would it?
Your bowlers are getting on .................... any new blood coming thru in the next decade?

Jimmy Anderson is a world class bowler but his body is must be done by now.

 

This is rapidly turning into a nightmare, we really do need him fit and firing. To rub salt into the wound , we're getting Labuchagne nicely into form !

 

Just found out that Middlesex are playing Glamorgan in a T20 match at Northwood today- a short bus ride away from me.

Quite a game, too....

Glamorgan 238-3 off 20 overs
Middlesex 99-0 off 8 so far

Definitely would have gone if I'd known it was on.

 

127 to win from 10.5 overs

 

72 from 5.2 with 7 wickets left

 

62 from 4

 

60 from 3.3 overs, 4 wickets down

 

58 from 3

 

54 from 2.3 overs, 5 wickets down

 

52 from 2 - surely even Glamorgan can’t lose this

 

43 from 1

 

Fingers crossed
Why are Middx so **** they shouldn’t be, at least QPR have bigger clubs in the city

 

If ever you fancy a local game let me know. When they did T20s at Uxbridge it was a good laugh

 

Off to Lord's today.

 

Enjoy

 

Enjoy Strolls, but not sure 3rd day tickets will be required.... Ireland 142/7 and still half hour to tea....

 

Mmm England warm up game v Ireland while Aussies will warm up with World Test Final v India next week. Also Smith and Mini Smith been playing County cricket while our main players have been slogging it at the IPL. Not sure who's gonna be better prepared but we can't go into the 1st Ashes test with just 4 bowlers if Stokes is unable to bowl at all. Fingers crossed that Anderson, Wood and Robinson are all passed fit.
