Sport Cricket - Summer 2022

[Banbury2018]

I don’t know if anyone watched it on Sky but the t20 blast game between Surrey andYorkshire this evening was an absolute thriller that Yorkshire won by 1 run with only 13 required off the last 2 overs. It was ebb and flow match from the start and a fantastic advert again for cricket. Hopefully Yorkshire will finally win the t20 this year.
We are being spoiled this summer for entertainment for those of us who watch cricket.

Not that T20s matter (I aim to convince myself) this performance from England has been rubbish.

The noise of squealing Indian fans doesn’t half grate after a time.

Yes back to normal. Some pathetic batting. Only Livingstone out to a decent ball. All the rest very poor.
Now a ridiculous run out. Rubbish!!

Looks like we are now playing test matches like we used to play T20s - and T20s like we used to play test matches!

Police rumble 'fake IPL' tournament...

India: How a fake 'IPL' cricket league ran for Russian punters

Police say a gang set up a fake version of the Indian Premier League and fooled Russian gamblers.

How brilliant is this? They set up a fake tournament on some farmland, hired farmhands to be the players, and managed to take a load of Russian gambler's money...

The clip of play in the article is hilarious Would probably beat Middlesex, mind.

The multiple balls by the stumps is fantastic.

Obviously using a new batch of Dukes, will save a lot of time keeping a stash in the middle.

Australia were battered by Sri Lanka. Lost by an Innings.
Shame!

England women were impressive today in the ODI vs South Africa.

Smith got a duck then fried a review trying to get it overturned... Double Shame

And in the latest batting disaster, England 7-3 v India in the ODI.

Pity there's no second innings to redeem themselves...

This aint looking all that . ... them dominoes are lining up at the crease for England

26 - 5

Well, that’s my afternoon listening essentially ruined.

Credit India but whatever the Test side had, it’s spread to the ODI/T20 team too.

Eoin Morgan leaves them for five minutes …

To be fair, I wouldn't want to be standing around in a field wearing pads, guards, and helmets for long in this heat either. Better to get back into the cool dressing room.

75 - 8 which in the scheme of things represents a recovery of sorts!

Well Carse and Willey are closing in on a stand of 10, so things are definitely looking up.
