DieselDaisy Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 I'm wondering if SriLanka can pull off a Headingley 1981!! Oh shit, Herath might have lost his wicket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was over on the fourth day (30th May). The Srilankans did really well to drag the game into the fourth day, setting England a small target of 60ish to chase, which England achieved by 9 wickets. Next test is Lord's, 9th-13th June. Alternatively there is the Blast which is just getting underway, 5-6pmish most evenings on Sky (e.g. 6pm tonight, Sussex v Somerset, Sky Sports 2). I'm off to a Blast game this evening, Durham v Notts. Probably be rain affected looking at the forecast.

wasted Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Okay I'll get stocked up for that one. Roland Garros now. Djokovic is still tanning everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) Leicester vs Durham on Sky Sports 2 now. Not often my chaps are on television. We were walloped last night by Warwickshire so I'm hoping we bounce back. PS Shite. Edited June 4, 2016 by DieselDaisy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 I watched Yorkshire Lancashire for a bit. Must have been 20twenty as it was a lot of slogging. I think I will be living in a sports bar this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two time Championship winners (they did the back-to-back, 2014 and 2015) and so many England stars yet they just can't get the T20 stuff right.

wasted Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Sky 2 seems to be 20. Now it's gloucestershire. It's hard to get used to all the razzmatazz. I'm used to slightly green stains on flannel as the palette. Or that red burn mark where they polishing the ball on they nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait for England vs Sri Lanka then, June 9-13 3rd Test, Lord's (11:00 am), Sky Sports 2. Then after that the Pakistan series begins. It is rare they put any county stuff on.

wasted Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I have no expectations. But I think England could surprise a few. There's a lot talent in there that isn't known. To me Vardy is a threat to anyone. True maybe Hodgson is too conservative and system based to really get anything out of his players. But the pressure is all on Spain, France, Germany. England is just a bunch of kids and grandpa Wayne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick to the England Test Cricket team and save yourself the heartache; they are in a really good place right, playing an exciting attacking brand of cricket. It is not often we are this good so we may as well wallow in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Notts 445/8 (Lumb 184, Wessels 146), highest List A partnership in England and second highest one-day total ever, worldwide!! Poor Northants are now trying to chase it down as I speak. PS Highest List A score? Surrey made 496 in 2007 against Gloucestershire.

They aren't even in the Euros but they will support England losing to the USSR. Maybe I'll just watch the games at home but turn up for the cricket.

For a second, if Northants got the runs, I thought the record would be broken twice in the same match. I was watching Sussex v Essex but they were keeping everybody informed.
