coxyhog Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 Woke up early & checked my phone for the cricket score - SL 5 down so went downstairs to get my laptop to watch it on Sky Go....got it turned on just in time to see them go in for lunch.Sods law. But SL are 67-6 with a lead of 104 so it should be an interesting remainder of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coxyhog Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 Good win from England to take the 2 match series 2-0. Next up is India away which will be a tad harder methinks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coxyhog Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 Not sure about India but England will not be fielding their strongest team,Bairstow & Curran are out of the first two & Buttler is only playing the first test.I guess they have to give the guys some time with their families. Can I be arsed to wake up for it?....I did for the 1st Sri Lanka test & it knackered me for a few days.Probably depends on what I imbibe the night before.

Once the players have finished their careers and made a shitload of money they will have plenty of time to spend with their families. In the meantime they should be playing every game they are selected for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the 2 week bubbles leading up to series and the fact they can’t go home in between games that causes the problem. (With the England team anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galenkia Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Cracking stuff from England so far and massive wicket getting Kohli for 11. Great start from the bowlers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coxyhog Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 So it should be a cracking final day of the test tomorrow,England need 9 wickets to win with India needing 381 runs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galenkia Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Andersons third over was immense. Double wicket maiden and almost an LBW. 2 beautiful inswingers to remove off stumps. Great start, shame I have to leave for work in the minute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
