Anyone enjoying the cricket? 23:25 - Jun 27 with 16350 views | nix | We’ve been absolutely slaughtering the Aussies in the limited over matches. Good to see the cricket team, like the football team, playing with enjoyment and freedom. They’ve been slashing records - fastest England player ever to get fifty in a T20 (Buttler), highest total in 50 over match. And the sun has actually been shining. We just need Edmund to do well at Wimbledon and it’ll be a pretty good summer. | | | | |

Anyone enjoying the cricket? on 11:40 - Jul 18 by ElHoop | Looks as if Kumar is out of the test series - he was struggling with a back problem and aggravated it yesterday. So at the moment their best two quicks are out. I think that we've got a decent chance in the test series especially if Bumrah's comeback is delayed. It could be a fun series. |
Shame actually, I'd like to see them at full strength | | | |

Yes so would I. I think that this series could be really good for test cricket, especially if the weather holds, but it won't be quite so good without their two best quicks. Having said that, our two best test bowlers don't play white ball cricket any more, so we're likely to keep them fit enough to play when we need them. | | | |
Anyone enjoying the cricket? on 10:58 - Aug 1 with 2048 views | ElHoop | England win the toss and bat. Not sure what Bess did wrong in the Pakistan series so it will be interesting to see whether Rashid can adapt to test cricket here. OK they are not the same type of bowler, but Bess did look very promising and he must be a bit disappointed. Not sure what is going to happen here. India do look a bit weak in their bowling department without Bumrah and Kumar. I'm not exactly convinced by our batting line up either. If we don't get 350 then I think that we'll struggle to avoid defeat here. | | | |

If we batted in the expectation that the pitch might do something early on and then the sun would burst through and make it easier, I don't think that was on the basis that Ashwin would get something out of the pitch. However it's unlikely to deteriorate from Ashwin's perspective, so maybe batting was the right call anyway. | | | |

Anyone enjoying the cricket? on 13:13 - Aug 3 with 1849 views | ElHoop | In answer to the original question - no! We look a rabble with bat in hand at the moment - a shame because the bowlers have performed well. Fielding has been crap too. | | | |

Couldn't have been more wrong. Evenly matched teams both batting and bowling. Same old india - can't bat on swinging wickets. | | | |

Of course they will. Expectations are minimal though they are offering me 15/7 cashout. | |

All our batsman can't play the moving ball and none of them have the patience to play a test innings anymore We've probably lost this test now unless we skittles them out for less than 100 | | | |

Anyone enjoying the cricket? on 10:11 - Aug 30 with 1080 views | ElHoop | Very important day's cricket coming up today. Not too sure what to expect. The pitch could be full of runs or it might be very tricky - it's hard to read too much from what has been said. Would expect us to produce a run fest in the circumstances of the series. Bumrah finally reappeared in the last test and will probably be in better shape here, but the pitch might keep him quiet. Bairstow at 4 worries me though - if there's anything in the pitch then we could be four or five down for notalot if we bat first. Come on England! | | | |
Anyone enjoying the cricket? on 10:54 - Aug 30 with 1040 views | Rangersw12 | Looking forward to this and a massive session for Cook and Jennings I still think every batsman is one place too many and I think it's unfair to drop Pope when he's never batted at 4 for Surrey and his natural position is 6 Get 350 and it at least gives us something to bowl at | | | |

Yeah not sure about dropping Pope - they've recalled Moeen on the basis that he just got a big double century for his county - batting at 3 - and now he's back at 7 for England. This could easily go tits up if we lose early wickets. | | | |
