SOCCERROO FOX Posted 30 July 2019 Posted 30 July 2019 James Patto looks like he will be selected ahead of Starc or Hazelwood for his first test in years. Also if you fancy a laugh watch the European Cricket League!

Good on 'em for doing it, the coverage was actually really quite good for the standard being played. Once played a touring team from Prague CC and they were genuinely decent cricketers by and large.

Voll Blau Posted 30 July 2019 Posted 30 July 2019 Lads, I'm a bit concerned this thread is currently sitting on Nelson in terms of the number of pages this thread. Can we try and get off it before Thursday ta.

StanSP Posted 30 July 2019 Author Posted 30 July 2019 Anyone heard about the new Euro T20 Slam competition? A lot of big names (like the Global T20 Canada league) due to play. Three rounds of fixtures to be played in Netherlands, Scotland & Ireland. Starts next month I think.

Would be great one day if they were strong enough to compete with English counties and we could have a European T20 Cup.

Worcs polished off that target in just 12.1 overs . Guptill smashed 10 sixes in his 86 runs off 31 balls. Meant to post this the other day. Average of 15 an over for 12 overs!!!!

Finnegan Posted 31 July 2019 Posted 31 July 2019 Predictions chaps? Who'll win first test and who'll win series by what score?
StanSP Posted 31 July 2019 Author Posted 31 July 2019 6 minutes ago, Finnegan said: Predictions chaps? Who'll win first test and who'll win series by what score? England 3-1. Rain affected first test but England come out on top. Australia to win the Lord's test (their record there is quite good I think).
STEVIE B Posted 31 July 2019 Posted 31 July 2019 3-2 either way. Cant see any test going into the 5th day ( unless there's rain about ). Bowlers to probably dominate as both sides rely too heavily on Root/Smith to score the bulk of the runs.
Crinklyfox Posted 31 July 2019 Posted 31 July 2019 1 hour ago, Finnegan said: Predictions chaps? Who'll win first test and who'll win series by what score? I think that the first test is likely to end as a draw because of rain. I am genuinely concerned that Australia's bowlers are going to routinely blow our top order away, We're not blessed with world class openers - I can't see Burns making centuries and Roy, great player though he is, simply doesn't leave the ball well enough which is an essential attribute for an opener. Root is class but if he goes early it will expose our world class middle order to the Aussie openers and a new-ish ball. 2-1 Australia, and I hope I'm wrong.
Voll Blau Posted 31 July 2019 Posted 31 July 2019 2 hours ago, Finnegan said: Predictions chaps? Who'll win first test and who'll win series by what score? Aussies 3-2, reckon we'll win the first one though.

The expert pundits seem spilt but most reckon it will be a close series https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/49173127 I think we'll win at Edgbaston and lose at Lords but really don't know about the other three. One of the most unpredictable Ashes series for a long time,
RowlattsFox Posted 31 July 2019 Posted 31 July 2019 Unfortunately can see the Aussies winning the series. Can't see many draws unless the weather gets involved. So much pressure on Root, Stokes and Bairstow to get runs. Even more on Root if he bats at 3 because it is being seen as the saviour to our problems.
