Quiet when we win

So England give Malan a 12 month contract and then drop him from the white ball squad for the West Indies for players they didn’t contract and they call up Olllie Pope and still continue to leave out Sam Hain.

Good news for bears fans though both Ali and Woakes left out of the 50 over squads so we may get a bit of availability in the summer from them

Loving the deathly silence from the home crowd come on Kiwis

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Bugger.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

The final you didn’t want to see.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Finely poised

 

[ovduk78]

Is it OK to want the Aussies to win? Against anyone but the Indians I want them to get hammered.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Quality from Starc. I’d make them favourites from here

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I don’t know who I would like to see win it less horrible Warner or horrible Kohli.

 

[chiefdave]

Australia self destructing here. Nice to watch a final and not really be too bothered who wins!

if only they could both lose

 

[David O'Day]

it's really quite there, if there are no major shocks then it'll them a long time to get over this

lovely stuff

 

[ovduk78]

Plenty of orange seats now

 

[tisza]

let's be honest that's an absolute spanking

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

I enjoy watching India lose - especially in finals. Excellent stuff

The plan was always to take a 2nd string ODI side. And they've likely given a few players time off post-WC, Malan being one as he has a 2 month old baby, hence why he's not in the T20 squad

I do feel sorry for Hain though, agreed.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Great signing by Lancs. Might actually see a fair bit of him, doesn't look like Australia have any tests between February and December. Should be a lot of fun seeing what he can do in the Blast.

Nathan Lyon signs for Lancashire

Henry Brookes to Middlesex is a strange move.

 

[chiefdave]

The ODI rebuild has started well.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Just watched end of first odi against West Indies terrible bowling by Steve Curran.Hope didn't need help like that

 

[tisza]

Just some rubbish bowling from the quicks. So many overpitched and full toss deliveries.
Sam Curran's ODI career has nothing to suggest he should be your opening bowler regardless of conditions - number of full tosses he bowled took pitch conditions out of the equation anyway.

Yes he had a very poor game.

Take nothing away from Shai Hope though, his knock was a masterclass in playing the situation. He is a true modern great of the ODI game

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

3-19, good turnaround by Curran

 

[chiefdave]

which one of you lucky bastards is in the Windies with the Cov flag?

I'm here but no Cov flag. I'll be in a Cov hat on Saturday though

 

[chiefdave]

Indian crowd have gone a bit quiet. England Women have got them 29-4

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Just watched Salt dismissal throught the ball touch the ground through his fingers 3rd umpire decided it didn't.Now Crawley just played a bad shot 8 for 2.

 

[tisza]

How poor is ECB spinner development when they're having to call up a 20 year old who has only played 6 first class games (just 10 wickets in those games) ?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Not exactly up and coming but Liam Dawson had a great year with Hampshire. Can play his part with the bat too

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Jacks too

 

[chiefdave]

Bears have released Henry Brookes and he’s gone to Middlesex. Had some injury issues but still seems a very odd move.

Fresh start might do him good and he is way down the pecking order with Ali coming back and they are really pushing Booth the new lad.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Harry Brook my God

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Wow Harry Brook

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

21 needed off the last over and he does this
