Off Topic England cricket 2021

Well that didn't go to plan haha

 

SA 27 - 5- chasing 202.

 

83 all out. Their joint lowest against us.

 

Summary from Leeds

1. Van der Dussen (26) caught deep square leg off Rashid - SA 99-2
2. De Kock hits unbeaten 39-ball fifty
3. Willey has Malan caught backward point for 11
4. South Africa win toss & bat
5. Third and final ODI at Headingley
6. Series level at 1-1

 

Currently watching the rain fall at Headingly on hesgoal. Switching to Edinburgh soon.

 

175 needed off 20 is the minimum we will play if the rain stops

 

Abandoned.

 

Summary

1. Eng 234-6: Bairstow 90 (53), Moeen 52 (18); Ngidi 5-39
2. England's second highest score in T20s
3. Moeen bashes fifty off 16 balls - England's fastest fifty in T20s
4. Bairstow dropped on 57, 72 and 77

 

No wonder Bairstow wants to play all forms when he is in this kind of form.

 

England team for first Test against South Africa: Zak Crawley, Alex Lees, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes (capt), Ben Foakes (wkt), Matthew Potts, Stuart Broad, Jack Leach, James Anderson.

Venue: Lord's Dates: 17-21 August Time: 11:00 BST

 

Seam bowling, as usual, looks good. Not convinced by Leach, especially at Lords...and, I don't care whether its for Pope, Crawley or Lees but get Brook in there at 3 or 4!

 

Summary

1. Bairstow bowled by Nortje for duck - Eng 55-4 after being put into bat at Lord's
2. Root lbw Jansen (8); Rabada removes openers Lees (5) & Crawley (9)
3. Opening day of first Test in three-match series
4. England looking to extend four-Test winning streak under Ben Stokes & Brendon McCullum

Disaster so far

 

100-5 @ lunch

Rain stops play, thank **** 6 down

 

116/6 playing with risk you're always going to get this at some point

 

165 all out, in only 45 overs. Pathetic

Good stream here if you are interested.

 

England 119-6,trail by 42.

Need to start playing Test
Match cricket, not 20 /20

 

Saffers win by an innings and 12.
Time to bin 'Bazball' and get back to playing 5 day cricket

 

Wow!
Manchester Originals score 208/5 from 100 deliveries.
It's going to take a Herculean effort to beat that

 

Hang me if you like, and I LOVE cricket, but for some reason I have absolutely no interest in the Hundred. I don’t know why, and I don’t blame anyone who does like it, but for someone who spends their summer looking up cricket scores the hundred just turns me off!
