Cricket: International Discussion Thread

If you have ever played golf, there is this one day, evering just clicks and nothing goes wrong, all your drives find the fairway, you drop chips and sink long putts, hell you don’t even have to practice swing between shots.

You hit the sweet spot closing your eyes, that’s the day Roach has had today.

Problem is, it only happens every 100th round you play.

Maybe you are right, or Windies are having that one game out of a million, like my golf analogy, when a golfer shoots a once in a lifetime 59.

True that, from a England perspective, hopefully lots of once of tests against Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe at home venues to boost confidence and world rankings might help.
 
Sheesh. When I saw the Windies' scorecard, and especially how it tailed off at the end, I thought they may regret not kicking those 40s and 50s on to bigger scores.

What a disastrous first innings for the English.
 
Windies vs England, 1st Test

ENG 77
WI 289, 127/6

Day 2: Stumps - Windies lead by 339 runs

Guess that will already be enough ? :unsure:
 
I wish were a surprise. SL always looked like caving. There's no fight in them, it seems :(
 
stumps Day 3
WI 289, 415/6 decl.
ENG 77, 56/0 (20.0 Ovs)

What's happened to this pitch? 18 wickets on day 2, not a thing on day 3. Holder got a double ton and the Windies keeper a century.
 
Gabriel to Root, no ball, Gabriel gets a wicket but off a no ball! That's a huge crime. Hurries up the batsman with a short ball and Root gets it off the glove towards
