I wonder with Archer if they will do some work on his run up as he is getting a lot out of a very short run up.

1nilandwe... · May 17, 2021

They did a similar thing with Wood if I'm not mistaken. Lengthened his run up quite dramatically. It seems to have done him good, as it feels like he's had a good stretch without serious injury.

BCCI have requested changes to India tour schedule to allow the remainder of the IPL to be played. Which means there's a decent chance it will be played in England, the other option being the UAE.

Excellent day for it today-might last more than half an over this time

Going in at 4, hope I score more than that

Nice win for the Bears. Briggs bowled nicely - hard to see why he's struggled/not played much red ball cricket before coming here

Terry Gibson's perm · May 30, 2021

I batted three yesterday first game in four years a very scratchy four runs but got a little time in the middle on a shocking wicket. Took a sharp chance in the gully

Sky Blue Pete · May 30, 2021

You still batting @Brighton Sky Blue ?

25* in the end, sadly lost by a good 90 runs though. Feels good getting time out there

Where do you play?

Lords looking a picture this morning. Great to see Test Cricket with fans back in UK.

England in trouble

chiefdave · Jun 3, 2021

What an innings from Conway. 200 on debut. That run out was pretty tight as well.

If Englands batsmen don't mess this up we could be in for a tight game here. Still lots of batting in the pitch.

I think it’s all over. Had a chance psychologically if we kept them below 350. That last partnership will just kill us off

Or they could just get out for a duck

Crawley far more culpable than Sibley yesterday. The ball that SIbley got would have got an awful lot of openers out. Not much he could have done about it. He's in need of some runs pretty soon though.

Agree that the last partnership has probably nudged NZ too far ahead. The England batting looks so inexperienced that any slight wobble could bring the whole deck down. Williamson, Taylor, Nicholls, Watling just looks so much more solid.

Big fan of Sibley but he seems to be getting out cheaply quite a lot. Can’t say I’ve watched many of his more recent England innings’ but is it a technical flaw being found out at the highest level?

Not enough cricket for this innings. He’s had one warm up match.

eastwoodsdustman · Jun 4, 2021

Personally I think Hameed should be opening. He has the technique (apart from playing with his hands a bit low).
Hopefully, he can keep his form. If he does he'll be opening for England for long time.

chiefdave · Jun 4, 2021

Looks like we could lose a whole day today. On the plus side weekend forecast is decent and with a day lost we should get 2 full days of play.

Terry Gibson's perm · Jun 4, 2021

The Bears have just bowled out Derby for not a lot, been watching on the stream as the England game is wet.

tisza · Jun 4, 2021

Burgess looks a very tidy acquisition for Warks with bat and gloves - not sure about Malan at all.

I think Malan will be one of them that when he gets a few he will make a massive score.

We are also seeing the benefit of players like Miles and Norwell who both are a way off international cricket but will take county wickets and if fit will play most games.

First chance I’ve had to sit and watch the cricket and Root’s out first fucking ball

tisza · Jun 5, 2021

Bit of inexperience showing in this middle order (Crawley, Pope & Lawrence only 23 and less than 20 tests each) - need to start learning a bit quicker. It's a long tail behind them

chiefdave · Jun 5, 2021

Could do with a couple of days of rain!

tisza · Jun 5, 2021

easy win for the Bears

chiefdave · Jun 5, 2021

Hope Joe Root is getting a nice cheque for making himself look a complete tit in those glasses

My first thought when I saw them...

Grendel · Jun 6, 2021

Sibley is not a test player - doubt he will play again

Brighton Sky Blue · Jun 6, 2021

My personal efforts today gained me more new club shirts (1) than runs
