Cricket Reformation

They didn't mention his ten First Class Centuries 😅

I think England are taking the expression peaking at the right time too literally. Another tight game against an associate side. I'm not sure they can magically turn the tap on and play brilliantly from The Super 8's onwards.

God save Will Jacks!

The main thing is that England won and are still in the tournament but I am concerned that we've looked very ordinary throughout. They do say never peak too soon at tournaments but it doesn't look like we can go up any more gears. Now for another victory Vs Scotland in the rugby

Congratulations Zimbabwe,first shock of that tournament. I met one of the heroes, last year at Trent Bridge.

That Italy result really put our struggles against Nepal into perspective and also put us below Italy in the table.

The brute fact is that we aren't very good. We'll have to break our duck against European sides to get through , even then, with this attack it's not looking good in the Super 8`s.

Game of the tournament,so far!

I thought we'd lost ,credit to Curran, time for a stiff drink and a lie down.

T20 WC predictions: England,WI, Pakistan India, NZ, SA, Aus, Lanka to make the Super 8's, England,NZ, India, SA to make semis, NZ India final, no host or holder has won it ,before so NZ to win it.

That was exciting + a good series win, overall. I thought Brook captained well. As most of us have said, T20 is definitely England's best format as it suits their 1 dimensional style. I suspect they'll be beaten semi finalists in The WC but do have a good chance of winning it.

The fact that international cricket has to gerrymander every bloody World Cup group so that India plays Pakistan is a sign of weakness not strength, may be now we could start to make actual draws for all groups (blind or seeded) like in every other sport. espncricinfo.com/story/pakistan…

Root is a class act. Not sure if anyone will remember this series in months to come,let alone years, however,it was a vital win in terms of World Cup qualification. Now for the T20 series + more importantly the T20 WC, our best format and probably the only one where we can excel

Great day for England,won a match and a Test playing nation pulling out of our T20 WC group. This is probably as good as it gets. I think I'll have Custard Cream to celebrate.

The likes of Sam Billings and Michael Vaughan talking about the decline of the English ODI team is pretty hard to take, given their support for and promotion of the very thing that caused it, The 100.

Not only has Baz failed to win a big Test series in 4 years but he's now added worst ODI coach, ever, to his CV. We seriously might not qualify for The World Cup. If The ECB won't do anything, parliament might have to step in.

@Reality_Rob @piersmorgan @englandcricket @benstokes38 @Bazmccullum @robkey612 Spot on 👍

@CricketRef @piersmorgan @englandcricket @benstokes38 @Bazmccullum @robkey612 We didnt win them in 2023 under the same leadership and we were told to given them a chance to win them in 2025/26. They havent done again so fair they should be under massive scrutiny or we need a new approach

The @englandcricket performance has improved, and been way more entertaining, under @benstokes38 @Bazmccullum @robkey612 than their predecessors. We played badly in this series & got a deserved thumping by Australia, but they should be given the chance to win them back in 2027.

@sam_srw @piersmorgan @englandcricket @benstokes38 @Bazmccullum @robkey612 😅

@CricketRef @piersmorgan @englandcricket @benstokes38 @Bazmccullum @robkey612 They have taken us back to exactly where they started! An ECB inquest into why we lost in Australia. Other than that it’s massive progress

Funny enough the last England captain to win an Ashes series (he won two) was Sir Alastair Cook, a person Morgan wanted sacked.
