Proper Mannies Cricket

India's series for me.
Not sure by how many though.

The weather is likely to be the biggest factor in stopping India.

The traditional England batting collapse strikes again.

Roooooooooot.

2nd ton in 2 matches. 127*

Eng 75 behind with 5 wickets left

Win for India.
How many more now.

Root must feel like he's all on his own.

There was a stat today after the test that Root has the highest ever player % score out of team score in a test cricket year. In 2021, he has scored something like 28.5% of all England’s test runs this year with 1,250 odd runs.
He’s a **** captain though.

[Donanddusted]

Certainly appears tactically naive.
In saying that, you can only pee with the c0ck you have.

Root at it again. Looks nailed on for the series to go to 1-1.

"Joe Root and Rory Burns are England's highest run scorers in 2021. But Root is 974 runs ahead."
Haha!

India are masters of their own downfall:

Is this national arse collapsing day?

I’ll watch the highlights at 7pm on Cooncil+.

Had a great day at Saltaire’s ground on Saturday watching a first XI Airedale and Wharfedale Senior Leagues match. Great facility in a public park, with even an electronic scoreboard which bears a plaque commemorating Jim Laker, no less, whose mesmerising spin was first put into action at Saltaire.

Bilton all out for 118 in 24 overs, Saltaire 120-4 off about 18. Scorching sunshine, good cricket, a mini-tantrum from the home no 3 given LBW, and a licensed café just along the boundary.

No admission charge, and the pandemic has halted the collection taken from spectators meantime, so I’ll bung them 20 quid as a small token of gratitude.

Salts CC has an even better facility about 200 yards away, which I discovered when strolling along the Liverpool-Leeds Canal towpath the following day.

Proper Mannies’ cricket.

Definitely not proper mannies cricket, but well done on Scotland qualifying through their group stages in Oman for the T20 World Cup.

A bit gutted as I am over in Oman in a week’s time, but the finals are in UAE.

How many of the Scotland team are actually Scottish?

Christ, you are a miserable git.

Christ, you are a miserable git.

How is that being miserable? The nationality rules in cricket have always been ridiculous.
