Cricket is going well. Only 70 runs needed to make them bat again and we still have 4 whole wickets left.
How many players could Forest sign in the two and a half days of this test? Answers to the nearest dozen.
So I wonder how close England will be able to get to SA's 151 ? 5-1.....current score, not the odds !
Promising. Nothing can go wrong now...! There used to be a Namibian player named Elisma Notje and I always think of her when we play South Africa at the moment. She pronounced her surname "Nawtcha" although she was raving mad!
Excellent batting performance from Stokes and Foakes. Down to our bowlers to do their best again now .
Zimbabwe beat Australia for the first time ever down under . Strong Aussie side too . https://www.espncricinfo.com/series...alia-vs-zimbabwe-3rd-odi-1317478/match-report
This could be disastrous for England as he has possibly been our star player for most of this year so far
Alex Haies to be recalled for the T20 World Cup . https://mobile.twitter.com/legsidelizzy/status/1567234707858882561?s=21&t=chZtI0HL27BBSJegd3IItw
Great news. Loved him as a player and with Bairstow and Roy missing, very much needed. I believe the main blocker to this before was Morgan who “felt let down” by him though not too sure what the issue was behind that statement ….
Yes just read that - failed 2 recreational drugs tests. 3 years is a long time though. I trust he's been read the riot act and will be frequently targeted for testing. Also seems to be an issue between him and Stokes who recently referred to him as "his friend at the time" but Stokes has apparently given the Ok to his recall.
Good to see Hales back. I actually played against him once when he was probably around 13 or 14. His dad played for Denham at the time and you could see he had talent and was also very big for somebody of that age. His dad was a very good cricketer as well On a side note, we've had probably the driest summer on record but I have tickets for tomorrows test match, Forecast, pi55ing it down!
Interesting - maybe Stokes has been told to put aside any personal ill feelings for the sake of the team as he is a new captain whereas Morgan could get away with it as he was successful. I mean Stokes hasn't had a sneaky clean past himself. Sure if he goes well then no-one will care abut the past and if it doesn't Hales will just be dropped again.
