[Cricket] England v India 1st T20 Old Trafford Today 17.30

[Taybha]

Odd day to have this as when arranged , it was no doubt known it would have been possible for England to still be in the world cup , i can only imagine the groans at the ECB when it became apparent that England would indeed still be in the World cup , shock horror .

Quite looking forward to seeing Tymal telling somebody he maybe fit by 2025 and how big the crowd will be , i wonder if they will show the footy on the big screens afterwards as part of the admission fee , but that would make sense so i doubt that actually .

So Come on Englands

I couldn't believe it when I noticed it was on today. There are no WC games on Wednesday or Thursday and they have known that for ages. No sport tomorrow arrrgh!!!

I just can't get into Wimbledon. Maybe week 2 at a push but week 1 no chance

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Surely they would have sold the tickets anyway.

I imagine there will be a few Indians there.

Completely forgotten about this. They obviously wouldn't have known about the WC schedule when it was booked in so a bit unfortunate really. At least I can turn over and watch the second innings once we're 3-0 down.

Good point I didn't think about that, it will be like an Indian home match

Yeah, going absolutely MENTAL every time their side hits a single.

Not every cricket fan likes football, you know

 

[Taybha]

India win the toss and will bowl

Watched England play Pakistan at Edgbaston a few years back....very much the same.

That assumes that the ECB had any input in selecting the date. India aren't in the World Cup, so the dates of WC matches don't matter to them. And as India virtually control world 20/20 anyway ...

It’s at Old Trafford it’ll rain.

Pretty sure ECB and Lancashire would have had to agree the dates.

Kohli wanted to bowl first 'to get it out of the way'. Says everything you need to know about T20...

 

[dazzer6666]

Hales out, just as well as he was holding up the scoring. 98/2 off 11.3, outstanding from Buttler again who is 57* off 31

 

[dazzer6666]

Well that soon went tits up.
