Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted June 9, 2024 Site Supporter Posted June 9, 2024 Didn't go too well. Quote
Site Supporter desperado Posted June 20, 2024 Site Supporter Posted June 20, 2024 Good win. Best possible start in the super 8’s. Semis the next target. Would love to reverse the Aussie result given the chance. One of those unusual days where a double England win in international tournaments in cricket and football is on the cards 🏴 Quote
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted June 20, 2024 Site Supporter Posted June 20, 2024 Barely being covered by main channels. A quick report in sport section of the news. All about the football. Wonder who will get the furthest? Quote

When a major football tournament is happening, they really just don't get a look in. Even if it wasn't the Euros, this tournament wouldn't be getting much coverage at all Quote
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted June 20, 2024 Site Supporter Posted June 20, 2024 Less coverage than football I agree, but we've won both short forms of the game in the recent past, and I seem to remember more coverage. Perhaps it's the football and the election coupled together, that is reducing available time. Quote

MancWanderer Posted June 20, 2024 Posted June 20, 2024 Salt’s assault (ahem) in that over for 30 runs was just fucking brilliant England look bang on form in all departments Quote

Smiley Posted June 22, 2024 Posted June 22, 2024 I like to follow the cricket, but genuinely didn’t know we had played the West Indies the other night until about 15-20 hours later. Not keen on them having this second round of group matches. Quote
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted June 22, 2024 Site Supporter Posted June 22, 2024 England seemed to have pulled it back yesterday, then lost a key wicket. Decent game, but perhaps just got a little too far behind the rate. Quote
Site Supporter desperado Posted June 23, 2024 Site Supporter Posted June 23, 2024 Afghanistan beating the Aussies! 🤣. They have to beat India now if Afghanistan go on to beat Bangladesh. Storms could unfortunately play a part for our game today. Hope not, as a win pretty much secures our passage to Semi if we notch out NRR above South Africa. We could still go through with an abandoned 1 point if SA beat West Indies. First time apparently we’ve ever faced USA at cricket at top level Quote
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted June 23, 2024 Site Supporter Posted June 23, 2024 USA have been decent. If there is the will, then they certainly have the means to grow into a top nation. Not sure enough interest though. Quote
Ani Posted June 23, 2024 Posted June 23, 2024 Last 5 wickets taken in 6 balls helps ! Chris Jordan 4 in 5 including hat trick. TBF their last 4 batsmen looked awful. Win this and into semis, knocks out one of SA and Windies, assuming win is within 18 overs ! Only need 115. Quote

Has there ever been a more productive one in international T20 cricket? Quote

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted June 23, 2024 Site Supporter Posted June 23, 2024 Well, that was a bit brutal. 5 consecutive 6s was it? More in total. Be renting out helmets to the spectators next! Quote

Moderators Casino Posted June 24, 2024 Moderators Posted June 24, 2024 Shame SA just won, otherwise we had the group Still, prob need to beat India, either way Quote
Smiley Posted June 25, 2024 Posted June 25, 2024 See that Afghanistan made it through to the semi finals…. But only just. Plenty of dramarama by the looks of things. Quote
