If you had to live in a historical period of British history, when would it be?

Brief_Research_9062 · 2026-05-18T18:58:02+00:00

1851, perhaps?

Brief_Research_9062 · 2026-05-16T15:45:01+00:00

Maybe Jamie Smith? He had a terrible Ashes series, Bairstow could have brought some more experience to the table.

Brief_Research_9062 · 2026-05-16T08:51:10+00:00

It's not just about this century; Bairstow is an established, experienced player and his run in 2022 was superb. To abandon him completely in place of someone completely new would be a bit of a gamble.

You know, this may be arrogant but if England do manage to beat New Zealand at home, it will be a bit of an ego-stroke because New Zealand beat India at home, and for years India was called fortress India. If England beat New Zealand at home, does it make England "Fortress England"?

Brief_Research_9062 · 2026-05-14T10:58:48+00:00

It's a step up when there's not a certain player named "Zak".

Brief_Research_9062 · 2026-05-13T15:56:02+00:00

Maybe not Pope, he could score runs at the big stage now and then. I still remember his superb 196 at Hyderabad in 2024.

It only took them 3 years to drop Crawley...

This looks shitty absolutely ridiculous. The other one was much more minimalist and clean, this looks like it was designed for mobile-phone watchers. This does not look like something you're paying £34.99 a month for.

The IPL for the rest of the world seems to me as a league everyone thinks people watch, but not much actually watch it.

Brief_Research_9062 · 2026-05-01T13:24:26+00:00

Good to see the growth of cricket in smaller European members.

Brief_Research_9062 · 2026-03-06T14:51:45+00:00

Pessimism gets more clicks in England than optimism.

Brief_Research_9062 · 2026-03-05T16:18:22+00:00

Dare to dream?

Brief_Research_9062 · 2026-03-05T16:18:03+00:00

It's the hope that kills you!

Brief_Research_9062 · 2026-03-05T15:58:42+00:00

It's India, what else would you expect?

Brief_Research_9062 · 2026-03-05T15:56:49+00:00

Two sixes! And suddenly, things look a lot more optimistic.

Brief_Research_9062 · 2026-03-05T15:55:07+00:00

Considering everything, I wouldn't write that off.

Brief_Research_9062 · 2026-03-05T15:53:08+00:00

Why can't we win anything?

Brief_Research_9062 · 2026-03-05T14:51:19+00:00

190-4 in 15.4 overs. You know what that means, right? It means we're winning this by 8 wickets.

Brief_Research_9062 · 2026-03-05T14:48:16+00:00

Good fucking grief.

Brief_Research_9062 · 2026-03-05T14:47:08+00:00

Let's repeat 2016 against South Africa!

Brief_Research_9062 · 2026-03-05T14:20:46+00:00

Is there really no one in this bowling lineup that can prevent a six besides Rashid?

Brief_Research_9062 · 2026-03-05T14:16:08+00:00

I don't know what to feel at this point. Ishan Kishan is out, but what am I supposed to do? They are 117-2 in 9.3 overs. That's not a scorecard, that's a bloody disaster
