England stuffed big time again by India in t20.

At least we (England) have Stokes, Bairstow and hopefully Root to strengthen the batting for world cup.

Possibly Billings as a batter/ keeper too.

Somerset score a Vitality Blast record score of 265-5 against Derbyshire.

Root won’t be in any England T20 side. Stokes, Bairstow, Archer (if fit) and Rashid will be starters.

Somerset's score was only good enough to be the fifth highest T20 score of all time, and 3rd highest domestic score.


Third highest victory margin.

Highest score, and highest margin of victory in English domestic T20 history.....

Scorecard is crazy

Someone got 2 for 16 in 4 overs as well
George Scrimshaw.

Made up for the worst T20 bowling figures, ever, of 0-82 from Mattie McKiernan.

Sri Lanka looking at an innings victory over Australia.
Leading by 75 runs and The Aussies are 5 wickets down.
 

General Cricket Thread

Win by innings and 39 runs.. Australia first innings loss since Hobart 2016
Looks like SL have found another spin sensation too.
Prabath Jayasuriya took 12-177 on his debut.
The best bowling figures by a Sri Lankan on his debut.

Haseeb Hameed among the runs for Notts.

Suspect bowling action. Is that your teammate?
no, although i didn't realise until watching after posting that he is "Tri" (or, sounds like "Tree"!). top fella but his team is based in the second city here, a fair old 300km trek...

anyway yes, we're well aware, he's a skiddy awkward bowler and the commentators described him as "all arms and legs". but they were proper ICC umpires in the middle - he wouldn't have got far if he was chucking it.

Decent ODI Series between Ireland and New Zealand.

Ireland had the first one almost won, but there bowlers let them down in the final over, their bowlers are making this closer than it sounds having NZ seven down chasing 217.
If they can get both aspects of their game going at the same time they might actually win won of these.

Keaton Jennings sending out a reminder currently 129* against Somerset.
Rory Burns also scored 132 for Surrey against Yorkshire.

Another remarkable ODI.

West Indies bowled out for 108 by Bangladesh.

Triple Century for Keaton Jennings.

Got to feel for Hassan Azad getting a first ball duck opening. His team are now approaching 800 and have only lost 3 more wickets. 500+ 4th wicket partnership.

Bowling figures are eye watering too, as you would expect.
Rawlins 0-223
Coles 1-198
Finn also gone for over 100, but he has taken three wickets.
Hunt and Crocombe both one hit away from conceding 100.

Beaten by ‘t wrong uns. Never mind. Fair play - very decent run chase. Was never in doubt.

Anyway, question… why do they not use ball tracking to decide on above hip no balls?
