England Cricket T20/ODIs

Philip. · August 28, 2020, 11:36:09 AM

Today is the first of 3 T20s against Pakistan [providing the Manchester weather plays ball] The second one on Sunday is live on BBC 1, first time in years I reckon, the Beeb has had live Cricket.

Following on from Pakistan, England play Australia in 3 T20s and 3 ODIs, should be quite a finish to Summer, fingers crossed.

Won't that be classed as Winter as there'll be a load of sledging going on

Tom Banton played some sublime shots and showed his team mates how to do it. Not a slogfest but very controlled.

A bit of a wobble in the middle part but chased well in the end and a good win for England

Morgan is an astute captain and solid batsman. Wonder why jordan was not bowling overs 18 and 20

Curran seems to be the go to bowler for those overs recently, but they were all off a bit today

Moeen Ali?

Denly instead of Root in the T20s

and why no Zak Crawley. You'd think they'd pick the best available against the Aussies.

Well played Pakistan, a good win to end the series and for once didn't choke towards the end.

They seemed to have found a real talent in 19 year old Haider Ali, his batting with 39 year old Hafeez was a treat to watch. Now it's time to bring on the Aussies

So...it's the Aussies this evening.
I always look forward to the chance to give them a good hiding

"Bowl it at 95mph up around their ears, they don't like that"

Probably just enough to make a game of it (hopefully).
