Yep whitewash now with India 4 - 0 in the series, much deserved too. Australia just dont seem to be bringing anything to the table and India are simply pushing them to which Australia dont do anything.
I get your point...even if it was slightly over the top in the reasoning about the bailes, I think the issue is getting the right balance for the bowler and batsman, at the moment its too much in the bowlers favour imho.
I like the idea for a great evening knock around almost, but it needs further development. With the ringers idea, wouldnt it be better to have 8 players given 3 overs each (or until wicket taken) so that the team has further limits on them, it stops something like this happening and could make...
NZ have really gained the upper hand and whilst Prior believes England can still win it I truly think this is doubtful. NZ lead England by 274 runs as the linked article shows and I think NZ might finally achieve what they have been threatening to do since England arrived. With the test score as...
Thanks, I tried the old big G news and didnt find anything at the time. Interesting outcome, especially as it was negotiated as you say! Will be interesting to see if anything else crops up.
Im backing blackcap up on this one. To me there is potential for the bowler to gain through this even if its just two deliveries and for this reason it has to be a no ball so a bowler wouldnt do it.
Australia are struggling a tad and needs something big to stop India from winning the match. Must say that its a big scoring match too, so there is potential if Australia can keep themselves together and stop shedding the wickets like they have so far in this second innings.
True about Swann and I totally agree Monty has come on alot in the past year and a half. Maybe he has a little more to go for a regular spot but I feel he can improve his game a bit more and could push on to be a bigger player in the team...although I do admit this could be me just being a...
Again NZ are showing passion and fight against us, its been brilliant -even the news is talking about the NZ fight back. To be fair the rain probably helps England because it has broken up the NZ play. NZ struggled somewhat in the first innings but this second innings has been a delight to...
Hi mate - presume this is the same Callum Sellars - http://www.thurrockgazette.co.uk/sport/4434868.Orsett_are_leasing_South_Essex_club_in_division/
Would be interesting to see how he has progressed since then as he will be of an age to move into a professional club now if he kept up with his...
Absolutely disgusting and probably evidences the fact they know how bad they are and had to move to these tactics to win. If it wasnt for the fact that kids were involved I would laugh more about it but this move could have put the kids off playing cricket by scaring the wits out of them!
Monty is getting a new England contract because of his efforts in India and NZ...could he becmoe a more present fixture in the England set up...he seems to be in and out at the moment.
True it did get better, but for me as an England fan I feel you guys were hard done too and should have nicked it. It would have been brilliant for NZ cricket to have achieved the win. I must say this series of T20 and ODA between NZ and England has been one of the best Ive seen in a long time...
The fact that England was able to bring the match back to a draw on the final day proves that New Zealand were struggling with the fire power in bowling and this showed when Finn came in and struck his first half century off 200+ balls (Finn saves Englands blushes). NZ should have won this one...
After losing to India (who were emphatic in their first inning!) I agree with troll3y about needing to bulk up the middle order. The top guys in the team didnt seem to be firing on all cylinders either. I just read an article about Australias problems being from the selectors and it made for...
We are looking good, but NZ are really surprising me in this series, they are showing they have the capabilities of really playing good cricket. England could be in for an interesting few days if NZ can just sort out their bowling to back up their batting.
Very true, to get the purchase required to hit it for six there is a requirement to have pace on the ball that was not available. He hit it for four and that was the best that could have happened.
