Poms getting done in the cricket, Oscar passing Max in the GP, or Wimbledon.

Great time of the year for late night TV.

BazBall ain’t getting 500 runs in two sessions from the bottom five.

How is it possible to get bowled out twice by this attack, on a pitch that a jobber like Shlubman Gill dropped 400 runs on?

Its F1 all the way in half an hour :wink:

The rain didn’t save England, but they scored at 4 an over, so morally they played the more attractive cricket.

All over, nice win, our bowlers are far too good for WI on these wickets.

The Yaapies look to have found one in Lhuan-dre Pretorius. Made a big hundred on debut and another 70-odd, admittedly against Zimbabwe but still, looks a generational talent.

Option 1 was always the short priced favourite with the bookies, not that l am a punter. WI batters are brittle as.

Very good performance by India, sensational bowling by Deep to get a 10 for on that wicket and some pretty poor batting by England, they could have made an effort to save that game on that pitch but looks like they became prisoners of their Bazball philosophy. If they keep serving up pitches like that, can see Stokes breaking down because he’ll keep bowling himself
