Re: Pre-season 2025
The system is so so much better than the 3 at the back we’ve had to suffer. Threats all over the top half of the pitch. Deffo lacking up front though. I agree with this. To add to that, I think we'll likely end up starting the season lacking up top, or at least having the impression of lacking up t...

Re: Pre-season 2025
Seen him for 5 minutes but that Cozier-Duberry looks a serious player to me. So much upper body strength.

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread
I think it would help to remove the armband. But for whom? A future signing? I like Thomason but think it pretty much stank giving a young lad captain in the circumstances we were in. The senior players should have taken responsibility but didn’t. I think we can all imagine a wise old leader being ...

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread
FWIW, I'm net neutral on anyone Schumacher wants to sell, we were that bad last year, he just needs to have the space to re-shape our squad to what he thinks is required. We managed 8th last season. Sure it could be baby out with the bathwater, but the bathwater didn't exactly return us shiny and p...

Re: Schu me the way to Amarillo - Summer 2025 Transfer Thread
When the team was not doing well last season I'm sure the sentiment was along the lines of "sell everyone and start over". Now, we collectively don't want to sell Thomason. My question is how well did he do last season? Interesting on YouTube yesterday, going through some of the interviews from Mar...

Re: creeeeeeeekeeeeeet
Meanwhile…in their final test in the West Indies the Aussies were struggling a little only managing to set the Windies 203 to win. Windies made a good fist of the chase managing 27 all out.

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.
