England Cricket 2022

Well there's one to note down for a pub quiz in twenty years' time. Most runs off an over in tests? Jasprit Bumrah at Edgbaston.

Broad's gonna need some serious counselling after that I reckon.

I think I'm right in saying that broad was also the first bowler to go for 6 sixes in an over in t20i.

Someone needs to have a word with England about bowling to the tail.

Yeh, that was Yuvraj a few years ago. I think a man with the ego the size of Stuart Broad's can handle it though.

 
It's not raining in Wales. Just saying.

Sophia Gardens has had three test matches. That amazing draw against Australia, and 5 day wins over Sri Lanka and Australia.

Remind me again why Cardiff hasn't had a Test since 2015?

Can they afford it? I know they've ended the bidding system, but clubs still pay a huge amount of money for tests and then all the risk is on them. If it goes wrong for weather, I believe they have insurance, but if not enough people turn up, they can lose a lot of money. That's what happened to Durham. And for that amazing draw against Aus, they charged more than £100 a ticket.

I also think I'm right in saying that the Welsh government helped to finance that Ashes test.
 
Crawley, 9 and out...

Surely, surely. Unless he scores a century in the second innings, that's it. Even Baz can't be this forgiving.
 
I missed the Broad over but I've just seen it. He wasn't unlucky was he? It was a terrible, terrible over (apart from the last ball).

I was running while listening to TMS and it was just fantastic hearing the commentators excitement plus the crowd noise. Brilliant cricket, brilliant entertainment.
 
More articulate than I am about the Broad over and England approach. (Oh and Ramps over Vaughan in the comms box every day of the week please). That Broad over was an absolute load of shit. If that's the tactic, pick someone who can still bowl fast such as Overton..

 
Anderson said Broad was unlucky in that over. So one thing hasn't changed - denial when they make mistakes. First ball was nearly a catch but the over was garbage. If he'd taken a wicket , that would have been lucky.

Never say never but I'm not feeling a comeback this time.
 
Well done to NZ for winning last year, but it was a one-off 'cup final' in which the underdog can sometimes win. I think India have been the best team in the world for a while now. They've beaten Aus in Aus twice in a row with basically this team.
 
Yeh I agree. Boult and Williamson would possibly make it into the India side but that's it. India look very good but England's new approach is going to take some bedding in. South Africa next who also have a very good attack.
 
Bumrah is a very chilled out individual having watched him a lot in the IPL. Kohli must be fucking annoying to captain.
 
Shit drop. But how many times is Stokes going to do this before he realises it isn't the way to play.

I hate agreeing with Pietersen, but he's right. Bairstow is playing beautiful shots. Stokes is slogging.
 
One of the journos on the panel this morning before play said that McCullum has told Crawley even if he fails again in the second innings he's still in the side for the next series. Not sure about this approach. He must be quite mentally shattered.
 
Lots of mind games this morning. Bairstow managed to get past his with Kohli. But Bumrah out thought Stokes there, bringing Thakur on after he'd dropped Stokes.

Stokes has both games. When he won the Headingley Test he was something like 1 off 60 balls overnight. He can do it. He needs to remind himself when to do it.
