2019 Cricket

[Lord Tyrion]

It is an accumulation though, he was not banned for yesterday alone. He did not challenge the charge and this is his second ban for points accumulation so it is something he needs to work on.

Not sure how either captain has not been banned for their over rates mind, that is a bigger issue.

Good of your boys to be chucking 4 balls at us today, much appreciated.

Rabada is looking like getting a fine and a demerit point for his celebration when he castled Root.

He will now probably miss the last test. The ICC are an absolute set of Corbyns!

Pathetic

Sucks he's going to miss a Test, but how many times is he going to get in trouble for celebrating like an idiot before he learns? Celebrating is one thing, running right up to and jumping in-front of the batsman and celebrating like that is just asking for trouble. He knew what he was doing, and has been rightly punished for it. Also, KG accepted guilt. He's not complaining about it.

These two are a fun partnership to watch. Really like a 4,5,6 of Root, Stokes and Pope. The strongest 4,5,6 we've had since Pietersen, Collingwood and Bell.

Pope is good but a way to go to being Pieterson ?

 

[Dan2501]

Dammit, that's twice I've done that this week. Need to start reading my posts before hitting the button

Hundred for Stokes. Another brilliant innings, also passed 4,000 Test runs a little while ago. What a cricketer he is.

 

[richart]

Fantastic batting, 200 hundred partnership.

Is it just me, but Pope is the spitting image of Ian Bell ? Hopefully will have a similar if not better career.

 

[fundy]

great to see Pope get a ton

 

[Captainron]

Superb partnership that. 450 odd for 8. England have the game in their hands now.

The ultimate insult for Broad down to 11. Mind you didn’t realise Wood was in for his batting.

i tend to agree with you, if you continue to act like an idiot and blow a gasket in a batsmans face you are going to be sanctioned.

nice to see their slow bowler getting the treatment he deserves

 

[fundy]

Hamza not enjoying Woods wheels here much, square leg umps toes in danger

 

[TheDiablo]

But completely out of his depth at Test level.

I'd filed this reference to Ollie Pope under 'posts that will age badly, very quickly'

Seriously, this kid has a ceiling higher than any English batsmen at 22 then I've ever seen. Hopefully we don't try and change him, although with recent form ECB have I'm concerned!

Add it to his statement about Stokes not having the ability or temperament to be successful in the test arena ( after the T20 final )

already murmurs of him being a long term number 3 sigh, just let him bat at 6 for a year please

 

[HomerJSimpson]

What a dominant performance today and what a magic moment for Pope. I hope he is simply allowed to develop, learn his craft and when he has bad games and a drop in form the ECB don't over-coach him or drop him like a soon. At 22 he really can be the heart of the England middle order for a long long time to come.

Typical of the cricket media - next top young player arrives and they automatically push him into the number 3 spot. He is fine at 6 right now

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Please NO. When will the ECB learn. Let him bat where he is and find a long term answer to the number 3 role separately. Haven't they seen what happens to the talent, temperament and technique when they try and shoehorn these dangerous middle order batsmen into the top order and with our ability to lose early wickets, inevitably facing a new ball still doing a bit.
