Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
I do not understand that if Archer is this top line quick why stokes is bowling 11 or 12 overs on the spin against the two rabbits - can’t imagine Bumrah not bowling to finish this off. Yet we are reduced to Stokes flogging himself to death with hopefully short stuff. Why? Ball is 70 overs in? Jasp...

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
Thanks Jasprit for throwing your wicket away. Sort of thing that drives you mad if you are up the other end. Done so much hard work. Look comfortable. Give it away like that.

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
We’ve bowled 7 overs at Bumrah who is off the back of 4 ducks or something like that. Ball is soft but still this is the problem. Who is the strike bowler in these situations?Worthy4England wrote: ↑Mon Jul 14, 2025 3:01 pmI'd be happy to see the back end of Jadeja right now!![]()

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread
750k feels like a figure we would seriously consider at this point. Of course, it won't be the total amount up-front. Feels like we’d be considering any sort of serious offer for anyone tbh. I’d be sad to see Thommo go but it’s clear Schumacher and Harkin feel a total rebuild was necessary and that...

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
We’ve played some poor shots. India have bowled exceptionally well and I think the pressure meant we played shots we shouldn’t have. But let’s also be honest on these pitches where it is doing something our batting does struggle more than indias because they are more used to it and have better techn...

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
Think we're short here but not by anywhere near are much as the commentary team who thought you'd need 280-300. India big favourites but it won't be easy to get them. Not a pitch where anyone has scored quickly and it's got demons in it now. Big innings for Bashir coming up. There is a substantial ...

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
Anyhow whilst we weren't talking about batting, they managed 83 and 84 for 5 in the last test and are now 98-4, that's no great shakes either! Because India have an attack putting the ball in the right areas consistently on a wareing track and making it talk. It’s excellent bowling and not just fro...

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
The thing is this pitch is pretty difficult to bat on. Any half decent attack would have a side in this sort of position. We can see whether Englands attack makes for half decent in the most favourable of conditions later. There is something in it for the quicks with variable bounce and swing and se...

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
Root and Brook have both played utterly dreadful shots to give their wickets away. Very hard to explain either or justify either.

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread
Should clarify that I didn’t see us challenging for the top 2 in May and still don’t now. I suspect we are fighting for 6th-4th at best. Is there anything that could change your mind bwfci before the season kicks off? Probably not - always we have to hope but there are some strong sides again in th...

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread
What we’ve signed this season all have higher ceilings than what we had before but there is no guarantee they hit their peak here. But the peak of what we had before was probably bottling league one play offs. They were simply not a promotion side. Is there a particular reason why I should think, f...

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread
I think we should be cautiously optimistic. We have a manager that understands what is needed to get promoted from this division and isn't full of shit. Based on what we've seen of preseason he's understood that we need to be more defensively focussed as an 11 and variation in play works. Set piece...
