I actually really enjoyed the concept, means that you had half a day personally!!!

TBH if they hadn't shelled the 5 catches on day 2, guess they couldn't see the pink ball.  Though they did drop 18 in the series, so who knows?

We just aren’t used to them and obviously didn’t prepare very well either .

Yep they had the offer of  2 day pink ball match in between the 1st and 2nd test and decided to stick to the "plan", little did they know that was a "losing" plan

Even more hilarious that they were the "Originals" now...

Christ 

 

Surely they realise this is alienating what small supporter base they have left? Surely?

Oh no, the promo video goes even further...

I think cricket fans have a bit more backbone than football fans. Maybe because it's had to absorb far less plastics. I really, really hope this utter shower of shite falls on it's arse. Every diehard cricket fan i know is completely against the 100 and is avoiding it. We need to start hounding anyone we know who is attending this stuff (likely to be casual cricket fans) . It doesn't help when you have high profile celebrities (admittedly i doubt any are actual cricket fans) and people like Michael Vaughan promoting this rubbish, just shows that money corrupts all!

It's mad how many people you see in hundred gear at Tests though. These people have zero self-awareness.

Decent start against Sri Lanka, a very spin heavy attack, happy to see Rehan called up to replace an unwell Jacks. 

[st albans fox]

the most Crawley dismissal ever ….

Again 

[RowlattsFox]

Absolutely no need to involve Crawley in this series. No 50 over world cup this year, he's not involved in the T20s. Just let the guy go away after a tough Ashes and work on his game.

He needs a break from cricket, let him be a regular county batsman for a little 

[goody2028]

Root carrying us as always then.

Brook and Bethell need to get a move on here. 

 

Thankfully that's their respective speciality. As well as the drinking.

Apparently that meant out of the crease... 

[RowlattsFox]

England would be a threat if we didn't struggle with pace bowling, swing bowling and spin  

 

 

[trabuch]

That's an amazing catch

[Super_horns]

Different format .

Same old story ?

 

[Vacamion]

 

Mrs Vac (massive cricket fan, not my doing) is getting excited that Bangladesh might now boycott the T20 World Cup in India and Scotland are in line to replace them (as highest ranked non qualifier) if they do.

 

Would be in England's group, too.  

 

We were at the last World cup game when Scotland played England and it was called off due to rain while Scotland were, frankly, on top.   I wouldn't have lived it down, so I'm hoping we spank them if it turns out that way, this time.

The ICC have said they are not going to do that, "for the integrity of the competition".

 

Laughable, really.

Embarrassing.
