The Cricket Thread

The Lankan cricket team are utter shit. They had a good period when they made very good players like Sanga, Murali , Mahela etc… but their lack of investment in the cricket game is telling now.

Not that it will matter to England , but three Lankan cricketers caught in Durham breaching the Covid rules.

Mildly interested to watch the second innings. SL has been dire in recent years.

Would have thought Ranatunga would be happy for Lankans to have a chance against a “second string” Indian side. Either that or have no revenue for Cricket SL at all.

7-19 for James Anderson today, and in the process he took his 1000th first class wicket.

Well after losing four sessions it needed to move on.

Clusterfuck!

Opportunity to play a few like Banton etc. Step up lads and show us what you can do.

Great start from this makeshift England side, which on paper still looks pretty decent. Four wickets already inside the first seven overs.

Feared they might have taken a bit of tap today but to be fair the England bowlers have done a fantastic job there, Mahmood and Parkinson were particularly impressive.

Smashed away

Entertaining showing from Salt and Vince so far, helped by some poor bowling by Pakistan after a good opening spell. Such a shame Vince has shat the bed so often in his England career, lovely player to watch.

Zimbabwe is so shit. We had a 191-run partnership for the ninth wicket.

Don’t be too harsh on Zimbabwe. Remember Jason Gillespie scored 201 not out against Bangladesh in 2006

Forgot that :stuck_out_tongue:
Bangladesh is very average these days.

Parkinson just bowled Imam-ul-Haq out,Pakistan 113-2 in the 3rd ODI

It’s a miracle that Zimbabwe even have a national cricket team considering the state of the country.

Talking of which, anyone else concerned about the future for cricket in Afghanistan?
