Plenty of furlough /work from home and kids off with an incentive to.wake early .

Covstu · Mar 6, 2021

I’ve got up early and watched all tests, usually about 5.30 ish so generally missed a bit. Sadly another case of engineering the pitches to home advantage and we just couldn’t bat in these conditions. Need a lot more investment in bringing in decent spin and batting against it. Still nice to see some cricket That you don’t have to pay for

I am not a huge fan of 20/20 certainly the Birmingham title doesn’t help but this abomination is terrible, howling until they go t10 like they have in some countries

Just look at this series, probably didn’t make 100 overs in a lot of these innings so games will run very short! Just a shite vain attempt to claw money in like the other franchise cricket out there. The county game needs a look at but that’s about it

One thing I'd love to see in a limited overs comp is the requirement for every fielding player (poss less the WK) having to bowl.

In cricket you often see ex-batsmen talk about how crap bowlers are at batting, so let's see them have to have a go at bowling. In a short format it be an interesting thing to see as to when do you bring them in, batting sides trying to make the most of their overs taking risks etc.

I wondered if anyone would see me???

Apparently not........

not a huge total to chase but the wicket doesn’t look like it’s giving much. Good early wicket for England but this should be close

tisza · Mar 14, 2021

2 overs of absolute garbage. Even worse from Stokes having struggled when he batted

Getting destroyed and the Stokes does that!

We so needed that wicket.

Not convinced about The Hundred but this is a cracking signing for Birmingham

Great cricket today, massive total to chase but England digging in well. At this rate it’s going to be close and a much better watch that city!

Covstu · Mar 20, 2021

Butler gone... going to be close!

Covstu · Mar 20, 2021

game over, what a shit day

Been watching the cricket and the football. Double dose of shite.

Brighton Sky Blue · Mar 20, 2021

Rugby, cricket and football all shit today. When it rains it pours

chiefdave · Mar 23, 2021

England bowlers have lost the plot at the end here. Going to be a tough chase.

Covstu · Mar 23, 2021

Yep thought we looked comfortable, gutted for Bairstow losing it so close to the tonne. Game changer that one..

Just ask Sydney !

Terry Gibson's perm · Mar 23, 2021

I have not been following this much but noticed no Chris Woakes again if England are joy going to use him hopefully they will feee him up for Bears use and not that 100 rubbish.

Covstu · Mar 26, 2021

Bairstow on fire again. If we could get the middle order sorted we would be unbeatable

Terry Gibson's perm · Mar 26, 2021

Ben Stokes is really on fire

Covstu · Mar 26, 2021

Gutted for stokes... 99!

Covstu · Mar 26, 2021

Oh fuck, 3 quick wickets. Good luck Livi and Malan!

chiefdave · Mar 26, 2021

Surely they aren't going to mess this up from here?

These two held it together really well. Excellent by them after the wobble

well played England. Top batting

CCFCSteve · Mar 26, 2021

Great win. Didn’t expect that with bowling line up. Amazing innings from stokes (and Bairstow). Great to see Roy back on form this winter as well

Covstu · Mar 28, 2021

Chaseable total, at one point it looked like we were going to have to chase an impossible total but pant was a massive wicket and we needed to break that partnership up. England have the capability to smash 400 but equally hit 200! Let’s hope it was the same as the last ODI

Covstu · Mar 28, 2021

not a good start

Covstu · Mar 28, 2021

Terrible start

Covstu · Mar 28, 2021

Curran fantastic! Could we do this??
