Cricket World Cup 2019

[Mainze]

Who got man of the match

Mickey Arthur. Saviour of Pakistan cricket iirc.

Watching the highlights, didn’t realise that were 35-1. Canny collapse by any standards that

Gayle is taking the piss this over like.

6-4-4 so far.

Mind you he’s barely able to move between the wickets. His back looks knackered.

One of the great sights in world sport - Gayle fielding in the deep.

Notice the two games tomorrow are in Cardiff and Bristol.

The organisers haven’t done either of those grounds any favours have they?! I’m sure it’s hard enough to sell tickets without having a rival fixture at the next closest ground to yours

Thomas for his fourfer.

I'm enjoying this World Cup, so will have to buy another month NOW pass.
A dodge for fellow tightwads. Currys sell such passes for £25 and one can also get 10% back via NX Rewards. So £22.50, rather than £33.

Should definitely be in the squad. Play him against Ireland and see how he does across five days.

May as well, although on traditional English pitches you need accuracy more than just pace

Remember in 2015 how we totally out-bowled quicker bowlers like Starc

Anderson
Broad
Archer
Wood
Woakes
Curran

Essentially competing for 3 spots

You can't not play Wood after his last test match

Do Durham sell cider? Asking for the wife when we go to the Sri Lanka v south Africa game.

From what I’ve seen so far of Archer his accuracy looks to be one of his strengths. One of the easiest run ups to the crease I’ve seen since Holding too.

Yeah agreed, would still fancy Broad though on a green English pit though

Not saying Archer wont be a success, can't wait to see him

He has a very good FC record.

Interesting little snippet about the ashes, they have decided to use the 2017 standard Duke and not the newer one as it has a more pronounced seam.

I doubt we will see many 350+ scores if that’s the case

yes

don't be embarrassed to drink cider marra, it's a git manly drink

Conditions like today will see scores which make Durham's batting look like 90s Australia.

That's interesting. I can see a £25 per month offer, but will search on.

Beautiful. I'll take a look. At a first glance, it may not suit me, because I'd like to have the other sport, too (girlfriend = F1 fan).
