[Cricket] The ICC Champions Trophy
- Thread starter Pevenseagull
- Start date
FFS I always reckon footballers are thick cricketers are just posh thick! That includes the ECB, chasing f***ing 100 ball shit, get back to playing some proper cricket. The 50 over game in county cricket used to great now it's for village cricketers drafted in the represent their county. The whole lot should be ashamed of themselves. County cricket is playing second fiddle to some made up bollox no one is interested in.
You wonder if there will now be a clear out . The team and arguably the whole set up looks old, stale and a bit complacent. If you don't perform you should be out. That's not been the case for a long time.

Are we crazy or is McCullum shaping an old-fashioned and outright bad England ODI bowling attack?
Either Brendon McCullum's ahead of the curve on this one, or he's found a brand new road to a very familiar destination. England have moved quite some way from one of Eoin Morgan's central principles when it comes to putting together a one-day international (ODI) bowling attack. "Pace just adds...

But you need to play the form of cricket in competitive situations, the ECB have sold their souls to follow some shit 100 ball f***ing shit. The top are to blame and need to be called out for it constantly at every opportunity.
Yup, can't argue with any of that.
Dead rubber Pakistan vs Bangladesh washed out.
Aus vs Afg tomorrow at the same venue with more rain forecast (based on a quick Google), so there's a risk that Australia go through to the semis off the back of beating England and a pair of wash outs...

I think the ECB thought they were being clever and assumed everyone would think the Hundred was a wonderful format and would see the end of 50 overs as everyone would follow them.

Jos Buttler steps down as ODI captain. A further blow to the UK’s overseas aid programme?

Good morning. Salt and Smith both out early doors. 20 for 2 after 3 overs. Both bad shots.

Duckett gone c&b. 37 for 3 in the 7th over. I was hoping for a defiant performance, but this might be over fairly quickly.

Root gone. Biggest shame for me is just how many empty seats there always appears to be at a lot of these events in whatever format outside the UK or Australia. There must be a way to get more people in, even if you got the local kids in for free.
Livingstone - idiotic shot. Needs to go.

Beyond embarrassing. Total lack of composure.
So first Semi Final today. Leaving aside the rights and wrongs of letting India play all their games in Dubai, the pitch is horribly slow and I've not seen a good match on it. Suspect today will be no different. Australia 4 for 1. Connolly put out of his misery having played and missed so many times, I was getting embarrassed for him.
