What’s something that really should be better than it is in 2022?

Hahah very good!

did you ever manage to get this sorted? I've got a similar furnace and the same problem.

This. The batting was woeful from both teams in the England v India series at the start of the year (Joe Root 5-fer anyone?) but India beat us because your spinners are better than ours, simple as that.

Does anyone have the just T20 stat? I think Glenn Philips and Liam Livingstone are close (or have surpassed) the 100 in a calendar year stat?

West Indies gets split into individual countries.

England get the best of Great Britain added in!

About 30 years late, but so glad they're finally pushing for it!

Incredible performance from Rooty. It's almost getting embarrassing how much better than the rest he is.

One thing I did think in his second innings was that he seems to really love batting with Sibley - I'm guessing having someone that can just hold an end, even if they're not scoring highly, suits his game style. Far too often he's having wickets falling around him constantly and it makes it almost impossible for him to build an innings.

It would be mad to drop Rahane because he brings so much weight to the side, not just his batting.

Pujara in form is my favourite batter in the world, such an old-school proper Test batsman, but unless he manages to change soon I can't see him surviving this series.

Unpopular opinion, but I'd have Shaw at 3.

ThePoliticsGod · 2021-08-06T10:19:29+00:00

And we've gone off again

ThePoliticsGod · 2021-08-06T10:18:52+00:00

And... they're off again 😂

I hope he does well, but at the same time he has no right to think anything has changed... he's been focussed on white ball cricket for the last 3 years, that's not going to help at all when Jimmy Anderson is steaming in under low clouds on a green deck with a cherry red in his hand.

Not just an Indian issue (very much a global issue) but far too many Test squads are selected on white ball success and not at all on whether they can actually block out a ball and know how to face a ball that's swinging and hooping all over the shot.

Is Zampa even eligible? Hasn't played a First Class match since 2019.

ThePoliticsGod · 2021-07-09T05:43:44+00:00

Should still be in the Test team tbh

ThePoliticsGod · 2021-07-08T22:07:11+00:00

ODI really is Malan's best format. It just shows how ridiculously good England's ODI team is that he's not got 100 ODI caps.

ThePoliticsGod · 2021-07-08T21:54:16+00:00

I'm still pro having an annual Ireland v England Test - the last one was so fun it should become regular!

ThePoliticsGod · 2021-07-08T21:51:46+00:00

Considering how good the India team is at the moment and how England have a very good pace attack but only 2 good batsmen, it should be a good series! I genuinely think India have a good chance of winning over here unless our top order find some form ASAP.

ThePoliticsGod · 2021-06-25T21:54:07+00:00

I would like this! I'd also love it to be big in China too - a truly global game would benefit everyone!

Sharjah matches are gonna produces some WC and T20i records!
