Alexikokopops Posted 26 November 2014 Share Posted 26 November 2014 India is the next one I want to do, it sounds absolutely fantastic and no one who has been says a bad word about the place. No we're not chasing this down although we're having some outrageous luck so far, two close overturned outs on Cook and Moeen just got bowled out but for some reason the bails didn't fall off. It's awesome. I did a bit of the North 3 years ago and then some of the South this year. The north has some impressive stuff but the south is so much more chilled (in a sweeping generalisation). The cities are ****ing mental though, the sooner you can get out of them the better (in my opinion anyway). That said I imagine that's not too dissimilar to Sri Lanka. I haven't managed to get any cricket in while I've been out there but I did get to see Kerala Blasters vs. Mumbai City this time The crowd went crazy for Iain Hume. I tried to get a "HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUME" going but it didn't really take off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cambridgefox Posted 27 November 2014 Share Posted 27 November 2014 It's a permanent fixture for me now on after Colombo and Galle a few years back, not a single bad point about the island. They used to have a terrorist group called the Tamil Tigers but the army just completely genocided them after the Tsunami weakened it, completely peaceful island now and you could do a week there on £800-900 including fights and hotels if you wanted too. oh you ruffian Matt,£800-900 including FIGHTS.Think have spoken about this before but Sri Lanka is on my wish list and to include cricket would be fantastic..Must say Moeen Ali looks in good nick,needs to keep this form up.

Guest MattP Posted 29 November 2014 Share Posted 29 November 2014 I like ruffian. Good toss to win this, get 260 up and I'd fancy us to win this on a worn pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brockmyster Posted 29 November 2014 Share Posted 29 November 2014 We all know how the world cup will go. Scrap through the groups probably including one embarrassing defeat and then bow out with a wimp at the quarter final stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted 29 November 2014 Share Posted 29 November 2014 Anyone else seen the New Zealand 1st innings? Must have thought it was a T20 match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanSP Posted 29 November 2014 Share Posted 29 November 2014 Anyone else seen the New Zealand 1st innings? Must have thought it was a T20 match. Yeah McCullum got the fastest test century ever. Shame Williamson just missed out on a double century too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corky Posted 3 December 2014 Share Posted 3 December 2014 We've won an ODI Buttler and Root were fantastic, but careless from Prasad to bowl a no-ball on a wicket delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cambridgefox Posted 3 December 2014 Share Posted 3 December 2014 We've won an ODI Buttler and Root were fantastic, but careless from Prasad to bowl a no-ball on a wicket delivery. Think you missed Moeen Ali too,he is lovely to watch at the top of the order a breath of fresh air,but as you say we were struggling and they turned it around.

Guest MattP Posted 3 December 2014 Share Posted 3 December 2014 Mooen Root and Buttler all tremendous. Something to build on that, we might even make a series of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandad. Posted 4 December 2014 Author Share Posted 4 December 2014 Even better that Cook is dropped. Moeen and Hales open. Bell back at 3. Root, Morgan, Bopara, Buttler, Stokes, Woakes, Jordan and Tredwell. That would be my 11 for the next ODI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leicsmac Posted 7 December 2014 Share Posted 7 December 2014 265. Think that's 20 too few, unless we can take a couple of wickets early on and slow them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marko Posted 8 December 2014 Share Posted 8 December 2014 Probably going to get slaughtered for this but I'll be amazed if Alex Hales has the technique to be an international cricketer I appreciate it's a long way from international cricket, but he certainly improved in the 4 day game last season. I think he could make a decent limited overs player in international cricket, but would struggle in a Test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirsty The Blue 94 Posted 11 December 2014 Share Posted 11 December 2014 Been saying it for the last 2 years that Taylor should be in the side in all formats of the game. Looking in great nick again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MattP Posted 11 December 2014 Share Posted 11 December 2014 He's looking great. Just need to try and tick over at 4 an over here until the last ten and keep wickets in hand, it's turning all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicsmac Posted 11 December 2014 Share Posted 11 December 2014 Root and Taylor steady right now. No risks needed, just keep rotating the strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
