Shame about Roy and Hales departing so early, but who else loves Moeen Ali? :D
-
Hales struggling with the 95mph full toss.........
Boyce took some tap with what may be his only over off this tour.
Nice 50 from mo.
-
Great knock from Morgan, month off has done him some good then
-
Good spell by Patrick Cummins 2/25. Rapid pace.
Sam Billings looks like a real bunny against proper fast bowling
-
Cummins bowling rockets!
-
Morgan has overtaken KP as England's leading T20I run scorer

KP played fewer matches, averaged more and had a superior strike rate.

An Irishman taking over an English record held by a Saffer, doesn't get any better

Well KP has been cut short and has played like 20 less slap and tickle games.. Hardly comparable talents
-
All we can do is hope that one day he fulfills this dream....even with his extreme lack of talent
-
Warner enjoyed the featherbed.........
-
Buffet bowling on a doctored pitch by Willey there to remove Warner :D
-
Classic Watto, hahahahahahahaha
-
I'm glad Watson has got over his LBW problem :D
-
In all seriousness, why is 2020 billed as so exciting? I seriously don't get it. Just smacking through the line all the time isn't fun after the first 2 or 3. I mean, we know moeen can't play decent bowling on decent wickets yet and just biff on 2020 wickets.. How is that good for the game or even exciting ? All I think is 'great, you can hit through the line but can't play Johnson/steyn in tests'
I just don't get why some people (vocal minority) get all 'Yey Yey' about both the format, and the 2020 merchants
-
Watson struggled to get his pad in the way for once! The irony.
-
That six from smith was huggggggeeeeeeeee
-
I'm not sure what Billings brings to the team. Unless he's good enough to bat in the top 5 he shouldn't be playing. Buttler and Stokes have to be ahead of him in the order, so unless he keeps then he shouldn't be in. Vince would have been a better pick, or another bowler.
-
I'm no fan of T20, but Ali wasn't 'hitting through the line' at all. He was playing proper cricket shots all round the wicket.
Agree that playing Billings as a specialist batsman is a bit strange.
-
Smith gone, tight finish here!
-
Great work from Morgan!
-
THIS IS BRILLIANT
-
Utter buffet bowling by Stokes to bring us home at the end there.
-
Ok enough of this utter dribble I've just deleted 3 pages of total rubbish.... Yes it was mainly from one member but there were a few who added fuel to the fire... Let's get back to talking cricket!!!!

I watched the highlights yesterday evening. How big was Morgan's bat !

I'm just watching them now, it's ridiculous! Almost half heartwood too I noticed.

Matthew Wade seemed to be using a Shrey version of the stemguard, can't find any pictures though. Looked like a velcro on job rather than clips.

I guess its much more thrilling... A find test matches quite boring to be honest. T20s finish within 3 hours, its much more fun to watch, although all they do is slogg

I bet you are a young whipper snapper though aren't you?

Meaning?

I can't remember exactly who it was but some pundit recommended series should follow a format of 3 ODIs , then 3-5 Tests ending with 3 T20Is - seems a good way to go for me - they all have their place but personally my preferences are test and t20
-
We're just trying to build a generational pattern based on watching preferences. I'd guess you are 20 yrs or under Top Gun?
-
Nah mate i just finished uni i'm 20+
-
I love watching all forms of cricket, there's no doubt T20 is exciting but Test's are and always should remain the pinnacle of international cricket in my opinion, it forms a much more rounded and involved test of a players skills under much more challenging conditions.
-
Yes thats right, i just said that t20s are much more fun to watch then tests
-
I was only pointing out that the younger generation are more favoured towards the shorter formats of the game.
I don't mind odi, I love test cricket and I could take or leave T20. I'm a different generation 40+ here

Exactamundo my crusty old friend!

I'm very much at both ends. I love test cricket and really enjoy T20, mainly as we play that on a night. We don't get to play 5-day games.
I'm not as bothered about ODIs. I don't find them as interesting or as entertaining.

Fattus do you remember the timeless Tests when it took England 3 months just to sail port to port to Sydney?

You can't beat a test match thou especially stuffy old Lords , all the tradition, yellow and red blazers and all that
