Cricket (None Leicestershire County Cricket Club)

[Spiritwalker]

Some questionable umpiring, at least 4 stonewall wides not given.

[Finnegan]

Fair fvcks Moeen that's a cracking knock pal. 

 

Absolutely smashed it. For his sakes, hope the bowling attack lives up. 

[deejdeej]

Did anyone else hear Harmison call the other bloke on commentary a bitch? 

[Aus Fox]

Anyone watching the Women’s Ashes test?

This is a fantastic game of cricket and one of the best tests I’ve seen men’s or women’s in a long long time!

And say it quietly, but England might just pull of the impossible here!

To chase down a target of over 250 in under 50 overs in the 4th innings of a Test match...has that ever been done before?

Looks like it will be very tricky from now.

 

Sophia Dunkley who was the big hitter is out, 23 needed from 27 balls and four wickets in hand.

[leicsmac]

Doing the right thing by just pushing the singles. RRR low enough for that to work.

[Aus Fox]

Wickets tumbling in a way only England know how to do… grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory

TBH if the Aussies take 7 wickets in around 10 overs to win this then they deserve it.

 

13 off 15 needed.

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Something just told me running between the wickets isn't Shrubsole's forte.

Should have been doing that a while ago instead of holing out on the boundary trying to smack the ball out of the ground. The hard work had been done.

Yeah, bit of a shame, really.

 

Final over, only one wicket in hand now, 12 needed.

[leicsmac]

...and a draw it is.

 

Good advert for the game in general, though.

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Managed to salvage a draw. Good game though. The women should play more tests. A 3 test series would be better than the multi-format.

[Aus Fox]

Brilliant test match there, deserved a winner, but at the same time I’m not sure either side decided to lose. 
With about 5 overs to go England should have won it, but the Aussies never give up and player superbly. A great advert for test cricket - shame it’s not 5 days!

England now need to win all 3 one dayers to take home the Ashes.

[Super_horns]

Well that was dramatic!

 

England in control then having to save themselves.

[fuchsntf]

Great Test cricket, But sorry England should of took this...

Another English collapse & with experienced Middle order/tail players...

[Stinkenzo]

Should probably get James Vince back in the test side, we do need a middle order batsmen who can score a solid 20-30 every game

[StanSP]

Holder hat trick! 

[deejdeej]

Impossible to hate the Windies 

[Finnegan]

Got to love that atmosphere, fair play that's a great reaction. Fair play Holder. 

 

Seen a fair bit of negativity from England fans, I get it after the Ashes and all but isn't this like mostly your C team? 

[fuchsntf]

What a day...Full Off collapses..

 

England Cricket Women, should of seen it home..collapse..

Tigers...2nd half collapse

T20 men..collapse. Holder 4wkts in 4 balls...

 

i darent go bed....in case my bed collapses, if I Stay up, & bake a cake, I bet it would collapse...

[theessexfox]

West Indies are a fun side, think it’s been a good series and the other team is allowed to perform well, they’ve got some really likeable characters and great cricketers - Powell’s hitting has been immense but Pollard constantly surprises me by how class he is

Any negativity is odd, if we'd lost 5-0 fair enough but in T20 and even ODI cricket you'll lose the odd game/series here and there. The squad isn't that weak, missing a couple of players who were in Australia but the England team across different formats is so different now it kind of looks like a weakened side.

Getting tense in the England v Afghanistan U19 World Cup game. David Sales's lad has just bowled a nightmare over.
