Hope so mate. Hope Barbados is lively anyway but they can do what they want with the other two venues
Obviously we'll have a grand time anyway but would be slightly pissed off to go all that way for a bore drawHope so mate. Hope Barbados is lively anyway but they can do what they want with the other two venues
Think it was their chief executive, said he wanted it to be exciting cricket so fans continue to turn up, the last coach Law wanted flat pitches and not to use Dukes and he overruled them
Want to see results
I don't understand why any team with a half decent pace attack wouldn't want to use Dukes. They're just better than Kookaburras all round, but particularly for swing.
Who knows, maybe the Aussies will consider using them now that the Kookaburras have mysteriously stopped swinging for them.
Not think it evens it up though? If we got to Oz there bowlers are more suit to flat pitches than ours?
Soon as the ball started swinging in Adelaide we bowled them out for nothing
Whilst his home and away records are obviously very different, it’s hard not to feel sorry for Woakes a bit
Average of 30.66 with the bat and 32.94 with the ball. In any other time he would be a top class all rounder

I think that "Wickets" place is shut down now but I can recall another place on the other side of the road, further away from the ground.
Thanks in Advance
His article today said the square root of fuck all
Not at all. I commented on this articleWritten off after 1 appearance

I like Cook, but he’s already said he won’t criticise Anderson.
Well, he clarified his stance in the article where he apparently said the "square root of fuck all".
One line at the end that basically said nowt at all
Don’t get me wrong, I like Cook. But its hardly going to be hard hitting

2009 was horrific. We didn't go after the first session of Day 4. Plenty of other attractions on the island though
They won the first test in Jamaica then which encouraged the flat pitches though.

He might just have an insightful view into the England Team and Root's captaincy
FWIW I thought he made some interesting points about his and Root's leadership and how both evolved
Aye, tough series. Didn't KP get criticised for holing out going for his hundred?2009 was horrific. We didn't go after the first session of Day 4. Plenty of other attractions on the island though

He got a hundred on Day 5 that no one gave a monkeys about.
I remember him scoring 94 against South Africa in 08 when he tried to hit their spinner for 6, might be that one?
Oh no. I had an opinion. Shoot me
He hasn't like, was a good column in the Sunday Times, looking forward to hearing him
I'd rather listen to considered view that tabloid bullshit from Vaughan and Warne etc.
Thought it was a good column meself, most of the pundits at the min have been out of the game for over a decade, so be good to have a modern view
