Grandad. Posted 22 May 2014 Posted 22 May 2014 Don't know if there is already a thread, sorry if so. First ODI v Sri Lanka today at the Oval. England are 22-1, Cook first out in typical Cook fashion. The Summer of Cook..
Guest MattP Posted 22 May 2014 Posted 22 May 2014 I'm really worried about him now, he looks so nervous and timid at the crease. Big summer for him. Going to be a summer of rebuilding, still both test series we can win though given that Sri Lanka and India are both in the same boat as well. Anyone going? I'm off to Lords for 2 days for the Sri Lanka test and Trent Bridge for the India match.
Grandad. Posted 22 May 2014 Author Posted 22 May 2014 I'm going day 3 at Trent Bridge! Bell going well here..
Guest MattP Posted 22 May 2014 Posted 22 May 2014 I'm going day 3 at Trent Bridge! Bell going well here.. Looks a good pitch, 280 odd looks par Liking the idea of Ballance at three, could be a natural replacement for Trott as well.

I'm off to Lords for 2 days for the Sri Lanka test and Trent Bridge for the India match. First summer without any planned cricket at the moment. I've got zero days holiday to play (with until next January) so couldn't do a weekday and I spent far too much watching the Perth and Melbourne tests so figured I'd watch this one on TV
Captain... Posted 22 May 2014 Posted 22 May 2014 Going to India Trent Bridge days 3 and 4, and may have a ticket for Lords, a reasonable start today, 100 off the first 20 overs is decent. Likewise I'm worried about Cook, not looked in good nick in either series against the Aussies, not sure he is the right man to Open the ODIs either, would prefer him to concentrate on being a Test opener and be playing county cricket, rather than limited overs cricket.

RowlattsFox Posted 22 May 2014 Posted 22 May 2014 Decent score from 39 overs. Some big hits by Jordan. Now over to the bowlers to cock it up.
Narborough_fox Posted 22 May 2014 Posted 22 May 2014 Jordan can absolutely muller a ball! Very defendable total, especially with Duckworth Lewis still to help the total.
AjcW Posted 22 May 2014 Posted 22 May 2014 I enjoyed that. Really good total as well. Sri Lanka's main strength is their bowling and we have dealt well with that. This would be a nice way to start the summer as I feel like the T20 was quite unlucky the other night. And Jordan is a tidy player! Even did well in Aus.
Corky Posted 22 May 2014 Posted 22 May 2014 Comfortable win, Jordan bowled very well from what I saw. Encouraging.

We play over there next year for 2 Tests and a 3 ODI's and fancy going.
Bobby Hundreds Posted 23 May 2014 Posted 23 May 2014 Gurney, Jordan and Jimmy all bowled well. Still unsure if Tredwell is the answer in the spin department. Got tickets for the SL Lords test, and TB and Oval India tests.

SOCCERROO FOX Posted 23 May 2014 Posted 23 May 2014 Given how we played that day it's probably a good thing that I didn't see too much. WHAT A HORROR SHOW I thought it was a great day. On the plus side we sunk plenty of pints that day and got free entertainment at lunch.
Guest MattP Posted 23 May 2014 Posted 23 May 2014 Not England related but have any of you and i'm looking at Matt P mostly been to the Carribean to watch a series against the Windies? We play over there next year for 2 Tests and a 3 ODI's and fancy going. Not been yet, done Aus, SA, NZ and Sri Lanka, going to do the Windies next year hopefully. After that and India will have to try and somehow get into Pakistan to complete the full set.
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 24 May 2014 Posted 24 May 2014 Fair list, thinking Windies instead of the Ashes might be a bit cheaper and a bit more of a holiday as been to the UK enough. Keen for NZ and Sri Lanka tour in 2016 if funds and leave allow.
Voll Blau Posted 25 May 2014 Posted 25 May 2014 Not related to this season but ridiculous decision by the ECB about the venues for the next Ashes series. Do they think people in the north don't like cricket or something?
Voll Blau Posted 25 May 2014 Posted 25 May 2014 In their defence, if chucking's now legal it's going to take time to combat it.
Bobby Hundreds Posted 27 May 2014 Posted 27 May 2014 In their defence, if chucking's now legal it's going to take time to combat it. Chucking is legal, Ajmal's been doing it for years. 15 degrees of flex...
RowlattsFox Posted 28 May 2014 Posted 28 May 2014 Need get the last wicket sharpish and chase em down quickly. It will rain at some point.
