England are nowhere near as good these days
And India are much better than they were now that they've got rid of their statistically legendary old fucks.
pujara's genuinely the best batsman from either team.
England vs Ireland in a ODI today.
Ireland 36-2, Joyce just trod on his wicket. Took a while before anybody realised the bail was off. :haha:
England: Carberry, Wright, Taylor, Ballance, Morgan, Bopara, Buttler, Stokes, Tredwell, Finn, Rankin.
Ireland: Porterfield, Stirling, Joyce, O'Brien, Wilson, O'Brien, Mooney, Johnston, Dockrell, Murtagh, Sorensen.
Rankin who has played for Ireland lining up for England against Ireland....
Cricket can be ridiculous at times

And Joyce who had played for England, including one against Ireland. :whistle:Quote:

Carberry. :haha:
Village fielding.
95-3, Tredwell gets O'Brien.
121-4, Tredwell gets Wilson.
161-5, good catch by Morgan.
Finn still kneeing the stumps over. :haha:
Carberry drops another one. :haha:
FFS.
Porterfield smacks it for six to get his century!
229-7, Rankin with four-for.
STAY AWAY FROM THE STUMPS FINN!!
I saw Ashish Nehra out shopping a few weeks back. The legend.
Ireland make 269-7 off their 50 overs.
England 25-3. :doh:
55-4
All down to the Irishman and Indian
Morgan has his 50
In other news, Aussies got 362-3 off 50 overs v Scotland.
Scotland 98-6
Finch with an awesome century
140-4 now.
Bopara gets his fifty. :bow:
And Morgan his century. :bow:
England win by six wickets. :scarf:
Sreesanth banned for life. :lol:
Zimbabwe beat Pakistan in the 2nd test to draw the series 1-1
First time they have beaten a major Test nation since 2001.
Pakistan :haha:
small change to DRS. after 80 overs, both teams get their reviews topped up back to 2.
think its both a good thing, and a bad thing. the best solution would have been to still keep umpires call but the team doesnt lose a review if it is umpires call. this just allows more timewasting really
Funny to see England and Australia moaning about it all summer. It's not ready.
India :bow:
Were right all along. Needs more work - particularly hotspot and hawkeye.
Tendulkar will finally retire after the matches against West Indies. :bow:
:bow:
It was going to happen sooner rather than later but it feels strange all the same.
Severe lack of cric. Nothing til Boxing Day, really.
India 72-2 after 15 overs in their chase of 300+ against Australia.
faulkner tried to high five brad haddin and ended up poking him in the eye. Haddin had to go off and be replaced by hughes behind the stumps.
Village cricket :bow:
Don't think he came back on the field so hopefully it's not another Boucher of an injury. Didn't look that bad though so should be fine.
Australia won comfortably by 72 runs. India bowled out for 232. Mitchell Johnson is bowling well these days. 0-1 in the 7 match ( :rolleyes: ) ODI series.
Elsewhere, in the Bangladesh versus New Zealand game, some fakeyank scored a ton and took a hat-trick. On the scorecards, they seem very competitive against New Zealand. Would rather be taking on West Indies than Bangladesh at the moment - Deshi's are on the up.
Ishant Sharma is stealing a living. So is Vinay Kumar. Slaughter live on Sky Sports 1 as we speak.
India 18/5 (odds, not the score) to chase down 360. Wanted longer odds because I reckon Walt Dhoni could get them there.
Didn't even need him. That's a comically good run chase.
Kohli is a fucking genius. Incredible player.
Aussies. :haha:
What a thrashing.
Maverick dhoni about to go into Heisenberg mode, SS3.
One of the funniest things in cricket is when medium pacers think they're rapid and keep banging it in short. Sort your life out Shane Watson. On the other hand, Mitchel Johnson bowling at 94mph destroyed India's top order.
