I wasn't there for the final Swoop but I was at Old Trafford for the semi against Gloucestershire when David Hughes hit 24 off one over in the dark.Quote:

"If you're good enough you're alive enough". Utterly ace
BFH for the England team.
Heads should roll.
Let's think what Australia would do in this situation. They'd probably have a huge cull of the coach and a lot of the older players and look to build towards the next world cup around 2 or 3 key players.
What will England do? Sack the coach and then business as usual.
Just when I thought that things could not get any worse for English cricket ! Totally abysmal and shameful by the whole team. They should hand back their central contract earnings as they have been taken under false pretenses, the great train robbers were lesser thieves.
England Cricket Team and Coaches ..... you disgust me !
A wonderful test match. Such a shame the New Zealand tour is only 2 tests, they are a great tem that play by a great spirit.
Only 1 wicket to go for an England win but a great advertisement for test matches.
Yes, an amazing turnaround. It just shows the advantage of getting young plucky players in who don't know when they're beaten. Of course you also need talent and experience - a great innings by Cook.
What a fantastic ODI series, a great advertisement for the game.
A fantastic turn around by England who thoroughly deserved the series win.
Yes, what a difference 3 months and 2 weeks makes. I'm looking back to my previous post saying that England will probably not change much. But they have - some new young faces, and a totally different ethos.
It's like they said "who's best at cricket. OK, let's pretend we're them". And it's worked.
Now what we need is a Germany-style football team.
BTW. Who thinks we'll win more than 1 game in the Ashes. I don't. I'll go with 3-1 to the Aussies.
Hi Noel,
In Ashes, Result would 2-2 because we all know player performs best in Ashes. And don't see that much energy(test team) in current Australian team apart from their lefty bowler(I forgot his name again). If perform well, whole England team will be in trouble.
looking good for England's only win so far... Plenty of time yet though but looking positive at moment.Quote:

Looking promising for England.
They will be in front before the end of today with wickets in hand :-)
It will be all over tonight...the only question is if they can actually score enough to make England bat again:D
ignore the above post...:)
JOB DONE :D
Decent start for England
Best 20 overs I have ever seen in Ashes Cricket.
Not too bad overall, a few to many extras so they could do with tightening up a bit. 😅😁Quote:

1st Division looks good for Northern folks.
Lancs, Yorks & Durham top 3.
Not quite as good in the T20 though Stags, Lancs, Durham and Yorks bottom 3Quote:

Fingers crossed for Essex to get promoted to Div 1 after so long in the lower Div, they are currently doing well in all 3 formats.
Well done England on winning the test match.
Would Cook be Captain of the Year if they'd voted yesterday?!

Terrific performance by England. Truly a measured but powerful hitting performance. They are doing good in the ODI format.
Well those good performances came to a crashing end in a painful fashion. Oh well next time !
Great to see Notts chase down 371 in a 50 overs game.
I'm looking forward to Sunday's all South Asian final. Should be a good do
Poor display by England in the test today.
I think in hindsight England should have bowled SA out for less in their first innings.
I agree, as well as batting better.
Most of them played like a 20/20 game.
Glimmer of a draw?
2 days to go and good weather. Not a cat in hells chance.Quote:
