England Cricket

Breaking news from ECB ...... Novak Djokovic to become English batting coach. A spokesman said "we know he isn't from our sport but it did take the Australians 10 days to get him out ". 😁😁.

😂😂😂

Glad somebody can find something to laugh about in this unmitigated sporting disaster.

Have heard that several squad members inc Root & Anderson, were having a noisy drink yesterday late evening and it took a visit from Aussie Police to shoo them back into their bedrooms,  finding a bit of "sticktion" very late in the tour !!

I see the ladies followed the men’s example in their first T20 and the much vaunted men’ s crash bang wallop team did their best to keep to the script in their first match.

I can’t think why but I’ve got an alert on my phone for updates in the men’s games and the thing was beeping like a demented doorbell, was it on Friday?

They did  manage to redeem themselves, just, yesterday 

   "Just"" , Wow that's putting it mildly 😁😁.

Freddy,  Your  old post might just have come true this week  with Strauss leaving both Anderson  AND Broad out of the WI touring party  

Its Mad, Mad, Mad I tell you !!

I saw in the paper the other day that Jason Roy had been fined by the ECB and banned for two matches. His offence was not disclosed but if it was for impersonating a test cricketer 😀 the ECB could well be looking at a few more fines after the pathetic performance in the latest innings.😱

Had my little Akai radio fully charged and my very comfortable " On Ear " headphones all set up and ready to go today. Listening to Crikit quite a lot whilst feeding the birds, topping up water etcetera. Then had to remove the 'hearing aids' while I drove thro Crewe to get my Spring Booster Jab. Quick turn round, then a short shop in Morrisons before returning home. Put on the tackle to find that the only real change was an increase of about TEN runs and Three wickets lost  .  Since I put the kit back on it has been shewn that the Tail really does wag better if folks are commenting on the gerry hat trick standard  of the batsmen (!) with acidic / sarcastic comments !

As commented on some months / years ago  I guess that the team Management ( HA-HA ) will be thinking of which three bowlers to drop and which batsmen to promote up the order for the next matches against New Zealand in Summer.

Jack Leach to the rescue again. Do I remember him scoring 90 odd in a famous rearguard action a few years ago?

Indeed, Roger,  I suppose they would like to move J.L. lower down the order to reduce any pressure on the batsmen (  ),  but Honourable old goat that I am, such thoughts are below my pay grade !!
