English Cricket Board shooting themselves in the foot just as the FA did with English football allowing so many average foreigners in our game which has basically killed any hopes of England being great again !mav wrote:Heres the elephant in the room about Cricket in the UK. (two in fact)
1) When we have a dry summer, it makes money.
2) Test Cricket makes huge sums, a lack of longer games will hurt our test side

What a partnership between Leeming & Brooks in the Roses match at Old Trafford
Re: Cricket 2017
I know he scored a ton but, what the hell was Ferret boy doing batting at number 9??
Every game I predict a 3 - 1 Leeds win, I am traditional like that.

11, if it had been possible for him to bat lower than that, he would have done!

360 run partnership between Adams and double centurian Sean Ervine...love watching Ervine bat....are you watching England selectors?

Re: Cricket 2017
An American grabs his first wicket for us as Warwickshire go 4 down early and Trott unable to bat...chasing 500 plus

Mind you Warwickshire are used to that !!
Re: Cricket 2017
Cheers Haighy, Norfolk & Swan.....I had a very enjoyable day in the sun
Thank god Adam Lyth led the line with a gritty deserved century. It wasn't pretty as it took Lyth over half an hour to score his first runs of the day & then he got stuck in the 90's which seem to be an age. Relief & a standing ovation when he struck the run to achieve his 100, Adam jumped in the air as he made the crease. Unfortunately no other batsman got in although Ballance & Hodd looked in good nick !
Lancashire looked deep in trouble at 81 for 4 but then showed resistance in the final hour to take them to within 9 of the 150 runs deficit

Re: Cricket 2017
Looks like Yorkshire will wrap up a roses victory shortly after bowling Lancs out for 209 in their 2nd innings. Yorkshire need 59 for the win and are currently 34 without loss so 25 required

Did I choose the wrong day although this match will be over by 2.30pm
Sidebottom 3 for 38, still a fantastic bowler
