Doesn’t look good, high chance of rain till 14:00 also Monday looks like it’s going to be a washout
English cricket thread
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
I think Pope can be one of the best batsmen in the world.
Didn't see any of it today. How on earth did Gabriel manage to bowl another 18 overs?
No idea, he pulled up early in his 4th over as well, went off for treatment
Hopefully the weather allows him to bowl again soon...
Random point but I've really enjoyed Carlos Brathwaite on the BBC. I assume he gets replaced for the Pakistan series. It'll be hard to find someone as good.
EDIT - And another... Renaming the trophy to 'Richards-Botham' strikes me as incredibly flattering of the latter and is only marginally less silly than if they'd gone for 'Lara-Flintoff'.

Could be a costly drop
Edit no it wasn’t, cleaned bowled

dog shit from Pope this morning.
Pope been heavily sedated this morning?
What the feck was that from him?
After looking great last night he was absolutely all over the show this morning. Could have gone 3 or 4 times before he actually did.

Hope Pope hasn't got the Joe Root gene of doing feck all after getting to the close of play unbeaten.
Whos the big fella for windies?
@NinjaFletch how is the football bubble different from the cricket? I was reading Pope’s interview today how it’s been harder to deal with low scores because he’s staying away from family and can’t switch off.
I’ve really enjoyed watching football back as it’s been on so regularly. I am wondering how it’s even tenable for the next season to go through if they have to stay with each other all through. Cricket is much easier to organise as it’s played in patches than a domestic season I would think.

Oh England...
All out for under 300?

Cornwall, off spinner has a very decent record under 23 average
Think Bess & Archer have enough about them to get passed 300. If England had to go with 5 bowlers then Sam Curran had to be included
Windies have bowled well but it's shite from England this.
Ideal bowling conditions to be honest. If England pass 300 I think that'll be a good enough score. They'll get into the windies early.
They're in hotels at the grounds, aren't allowed to leave, aren't allowed to see their families and friends or leave for any reason.
I'm pretty certain the footballers are just at home as normal and adhering to social distancing and being regularly tested.
This is proper test match bowling.
Archer has looked a walking wicket every time he's gone out to bat for England.
I remember last year there was lots of talk about how good he was as a batsman but it's just not happened for him at international level.
He's a world class bowler , and that's the important thing of course but he's looked a number 11 to me.

He has which is strange due to his FC average of 26. Unfortunately this collapse always looked like it was always going to happen
How about Sobers-Greig?
I found the case for naming it after Learie Constantine much more compelling.
Good little cameo from Broad here.
314 on the board.

Here for Broad turning into an bowling all-rounder again out of nowhere.
Cornwall is my favourite cricketer.
His slow amble back to his mark like it's all too much is so village.

He's so nonchalant, I can't wait to see him bat.
Go on Broady, ton up before lunch.
50 for broad, 1st 50 for a while
Broad did something like this recently in South Africa.
Seems like he's regained a bit of confidence with the bat. Great to see

England recovered very well here. 350 up after looking like they wouldn't make 300.
If the Windies don't step it up here Broad could push this towards 400.

Just tuned in whilst aware what happened in the first hour. Was not expecting that from Broad
Cracking knock from Broad.
Windies getting wickets with crap deliveries 
369 seems a decent score.
369 all out England
Think they'll be happy with that given the first hour. Slightly above average first innings score. Interesting to see how the Windies cope with Anderson, Broad, Archer and Woakes

Im not too knowledgeable on cricket players but I think this Cornwall fella is my hero. I cant wait to see him batting
He has a first class 100 and 13 50's as well. Looks like a handful in domestic T20 tooIm not too knowledgeable on cricket players but I think this Cornwall fella is my hero. I cant wait to see him batting
He actually said yesterday that he was going to take a sleeping pill
Like I said im not knowledgeable I watch cricket very casually. I can picture him just standing there hitting absolute rockets
