Re: England cricket team lol
GIAE - what are your thoughts on Robinson getting stood down from the squad based on some tweets from 8-9 years ago (that he has since apologised for)?
I personally don't agree with punishing behaviour from so long ago just because the nature of people's tweets would be taken so much more out of context in today's world.
I'm not defending him in any way here but I'm not a fan of punishing him for some racist posts from 8-9 years ago

270 odd in 2 sessions on day 5 on a deteriorating pitch. Anyone who knows cricket, know the answer to that.

Run rate of 3.64 required to win.
At least one team was courageous.

3.64 for the last two sessions, that would be stupidity not courageous.Bomber wrote: ↑Tue Jun 08, 2021 3:19 pmWell he thought it was pretty piss poor.God is an Englishman wrote: ↑Tue Jun 08, 2021 3:04 pmI'm sure he does know the answer.Bomber wrote: ↑Tue Jun 08, 2021 8:30 amSo Bumble doesn't know cricket?God is an Englishman wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 7:06 pm270 odd in 2 sessions on day 5 on a deteriorating pitch.

Re: England cricket team lol
Ooh, I forgot, making runs at less than four an over with plenty of wickets in hand is too much stress for the "lessen chance of loss as opposed to maximise chances of wins" poms.God is an Englishman wrote: ↑Tue Jun 08, 2021 7:33 pm3.64 for the last two sessions, that would be stupidity not courageous.Bomber wrote: ↑Tue Jun 08, 2021 3:19 pmWell he thought it was pretty piss poor.God is an Englishman wrote: ↑Tue Jun 08, 2021 3:04 pmI'm sure he does know the answer.Bomber wrote: ↑Tue Jun 08, 2021 8:30 amSo Bumble doesn't know cricket?God is an Englishman wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 7:06 pm270 odd in 2 sessions on day 5 on a deteriorating pitch.

Re: England cricket team lol
We would have I reckon. May well have lost, but can't recall many times when a game was in reach when we didn't have a go. If wickets tumble early, then you try and hang on.God is an Englishman wrote: ↑Thu Jun 10, 2021 8:25 am You seriously think they should have gone for it on session 14 & 15.

How could the Polish cricket team play? All their players currently competing in the Polish Cricket League and the Polish ODI tournament.

Re: England cricket team lol
why is that relevant? I didnt realise that was a criteria...happy for you to prove me wrong but youre well aware of the rumblings or at the very least discussions about a separate national cricket team.

Re: England cricket team lol
As Wales is not an ICC member in its own right, the team cannot feature in the ICC competition meaning Wales has not played competitive international cricket since the discontinuation of the Triple Crown Tournament.
The England cricket team represents England and Wales in international cricket. Since 1997, it has been governed by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), having been previously governed by Marylebone Cricket Club (the MCC) since 1903.
