Lesser forms of cricket thread

Beaten by Hong Kong yesterday.

They play the mighty Jersey tomorrow

Ads on the radio exhorting us to come out and support these chumps in Malahide because “cricket is taking over Ireland”

:smile:

Terrific performance served up by England at Headingley today to level up the ODI series at 2-2. Eoin Morgan top scored with 92.

England reduced to 138 all out in the Final ODI against Australia at Old Trafford.

Into the 9th over of the Aussie’s reply, Wood has just got Smith out to give the hosts a glimmer of hope before Lunch. Australia 35-2

Morgan had to retire hurt with concussion after getting hit by a bouncer.

Just caught the last 2 overs of the T20 international between South Africa and England.

Topley shat his togs bowling the last over and South Africa scored 15 off it to win by a run.

1, 4, 6, 0, 2, 2 to win it.

Topley fumbled the ball at the non-striker’s end and fucked up an easy run out chance off the last ball too. It would have been a tie so we missed out on a super over.

Topley then smacked the stumps over in anger. :laughing:

England have just set a ODI world record score of 444/3 against Pakistan at Trent Bridge. Alex Hales top scored with 171.

Australia have hit the highest T20 score in the history of international cricket. 263 just there against Sri Lanka.

I see captain Eoin Morgan and Alex Hales have pulled out of England’s One Day Tour to Bangladesh citing security concerns. Eoin not showing a lot of leadership, never thought he was officer class.

Lets hope he is proven to be right

Was he not caught up in a bomb previously?

Not sure if he was in Mumbai that time. Maybe he was.

The County Championship is going down to the last session.

Yorkshire have been set 240 to win in 40 overs by Middlesex. They are 48-2 at the moment after 12 overs.

If Yorkshire win, they win the title.
If Middlesex bowl them out, they win the title.
If it’s a draw, Somerset win the title.

Incredible scenes. Hope it’s a draw.

Yorkshire need 62 off 5 overs with just 2 wickets left. Looking good for Middlesex, Somerset will be praying the remaining Yorkshire batsmen just try and see this out instead of throwing the bat around.

1 wicket needed now.

Roland-jones wins it for Middlesex with a hat trick at the end!

Unreal. Somerset will be a bit pissed off at the contrived result but that’s the way it goes.

Signing in from the SCG attending the BBL 20 / 20 match between the Sydney Sixers and Hobart Hurricanes, who feature StuRt Broad and Kumar Sangakarra. Beautiful bright day in the harbour city.
