The Cricket Thread

Was pretty expensive, in the first innings in particular. Unfortunate for him, and them, though.

If it wasn't for the 1990s I could almost feel sorry for em... ;)
 
Taylor playing for Sussex against the Aussies gets a hundred, will take KPs place if his calf doesnt heal up, knowing KP even if he isnt 100% he will say he is
 
Me and 6 mates are going to the T20 finals day.. anyone got any decent games.. or money games we can play during the 3 games. Obviously there is the biggest beer snake. Something that includes the actual scoring of the game. Thought about passing a black card along the seat line every delivery and when a six is hit/or wicket taken... whoever has the card has to buy a round or maybe when a four is hit, a fiver goes into the pot, but when a 6 is hit, the pot is taken.

Any good ideas out there.

Also some have asked about seeing ear pieces that fans have, often has sky sports written on them, can they be purchased at the game, to listen to the commentaries.. Bumble and Mikey etc.

and it was said with a straight face too !!!

Captain Michael Clarke admits "people may laugh" at his claim Australia can still win the Ashes, but he insists his team can turn the series around.

Australia need to win the third Test at Old Trafford, which starts on Thursday, to keep the five match series alive.

The tourists have lost six Tests in a row but Clarke believes victory in Manchester will give them momentum.

"Our backs are against the wall but I honestly believe we can still win the series," he said.

"I know a lot of people will laugh at that but I wouldn't be here if I didn't think we could - we can shake up this series."

After their narrow defeat in the first Test, Clarke said Australia could still win the series.

When he repeated the claim in a pitch-side interview after the tourists had been crushed in the second Test at Lord's, the crowd burst into laughter.

The Australians have recalled batsman David Warner, who was suspended after punching England batsman Joe Root in a Birmingham bar in June, to their squad after he scored 193 for their A team in their recent match with South Africa A.

But Clarke, who stepped down as a selector in the wake of former coach Micky Arthur's sacking, is unsure whether the 26-year-old will earn a recall.

"I think David was extremely apologetic at the time," said Clarke.

"He knows what the expectations are for Australian cricket and I am very confident he has learned from what has happened in the past."

All-rounder Steve Smith did not train on Wednesday as he nurses a bad back and Warner could replace him if he fails to recover in time.

Spinner Nathan Lyon is widely expected to replace 19-year-old Ashton Agar, who has struggled with the ball in his first two Tests despite scoring a Test record 98 as number 11 at Trent Bridge.

England's hopes of retaining the Ashes by avoiding defeat at Old Trafford were boosted on Wednesday by the news that batsman Kevin Pietersen's chances of being fit are "pretty good", according to captain Alastair Cook.
 
KP seems to think he's fit as of this morning, time will tell i guess.


Aussies win the toss and will Bat, so England should be batting by about Tea.

Openers untroubled so far.

Disappointed Taylor didn't get a look in. Gotta feel Bairstow needs a big score this series or Taylor may take his place
 
Why the hell was that given out?


DRS made sense to me before this series. Now i'm utterly fudging confused.



And Australia lose a review.. Madness!
 
horrible decision, gotta feel for him.

Aus should rightly be angry here. Good to have Clarke coming in, need someone calm and composed at the crease after a bad decision
