Summer 2020 Cricket Thread

Could any of these T20 players do a job in the test team? Bairstow seems out of touch even in T20. I’d like to see Roy given a chance again but not as an opener, maybe down the order. Malan I know has failed before. Banton could be interesting maybe? People will say it doesn’t translate but Buttler, Bairstow, Morgan, Root, Stokes, Mooen Ali, Rashid, Archer and Wood have all played T20 and test cricket with varying degrees of success

Roy was such a bad call last year. Blind optimism to think he would work as a Test opener. Would he do better lower down the order? Probably, but is he better than those already in the side - not for me, Aggers.

Aye, spending some time with his family which is fair enough considering he has helped us win the T20 series already.

He basically won the T20 series for England, and with a game to spare too

!20-5 ....3 overs left

Bowlers need to strike early like in the last T20 , C'mon England

 

[Sarge]

First blood to Wood Aussies 31-1 3.1 overs in

[Sarge]

105-5 ...6 overs to go... could be close this one

 

[Sarge]

need some quick wickets now as its less than 1 per ball the convicts need

 

[Sarge]

England's fielding in this T20 has been a bit crap

 

[Sarge]

20 needed from 24 balls

this hasnt been good England, C'mon , skittle em

 

[Sarge]

now its 15 off 18 balls

putting down those 3 catches seems to be very costly

unless there's a few clean bowled or LBW's Aussie wickets coming imminently

 

[Sarge]

6 balls left scores tied .... 6 dot balls ?

 

[Sarge]

bollox

Taxi for England's fielders .... that was a below par batting, fielding and bowling performance IMO

Ali is a rubbish captain too
