Thought I would start a thread about cricket.

 

You can discuss all things related to cricket from internationals to domestics.

 

How do you think England will do against Bangladesh in the one-day international today?

A good win for England to win the one day series over Bangladesh.

South Africa have thrashed Australia 5-0 in their one-day international series. First time that Australia have been whitewashed in a one-day series.

A test win for England over Bangladesh by 22 runs. So close to a 1st Test win for Bangladesh over England.

 

 

Keaton Jennings hits a century on his Test debut for England as England reach 228-5 in the 4th Test against India.

 

 

England have lost 4-0 in their five test series against India.

 

Could Cook step down as captain?

I am watching the Big Bash every morning at the moment. Extraordinary match today. Melbourne Renegades scored 222-4,a record for the BBL but still lost the match with Hobart Hurricanes making 223-8. Stuart Broad came in to bat in the last over and hit 4,4 and then 1 off the last ball to win the match.

I saw a couple of games on Channel 5, first time that live cricket coverage has been shown on terrestrial UK TV since the 2005 5th Test of The Ashes, I believe.

 

 

Alastair Cook has resigned as England captain after 59 matches in charge. What do you make of this?

He did a good job but it was time to step down. Someone with a less cautious approach is needed. Joe Root would seem to be the best candidate. Cook will still have a role to play as opening batsman for a few more years.

I think yes Joe Root would be the best candidate to be England captain. I hope he does.

 

 

Joe Root has been as named as the new England test captain.

 

What do you make of this?

Ben Stokes will earn £1.7m for playing in the Indian Premier League. The most expensive player that a team I think has paid for in the IPL.

 

 

Hopefully so far so good as England try and bowl out West Indies in the first ODI.

 

 

Incredible feat in Chris Gayle who becomes the first person to hit over 10,000 T20 runs.

 

 

Gayle the greatest batsman I've seen.

The city-based Twenty20 tournament has been given the go-ahead to start in 2020.

 

 

Anyone watching the Champions Trophy currently taking place?

 

 

Yes,we've had two unlikely run chases by Bangladesh today and Sri Lanka yesterday. England looking strong at the moment,particularly their batting. It's a shame the weather has been so poor.

England are set to join Jason Roy ahead of their Champions Trophy semi-final match against Pakistan tomorrow.
