@Final_Word_Pod After this debacle who would pay £0000's to fly over for the Sesquicentennial test match? With a pink ball to boot! Could be over by tea on Day 1.
@benjonescricket Nibbling can be harder for batting than jagging. Nick rather than miss. Harder to cover up outside the line. And easier for bowlers to control. Or does the data say otherwise?
@TheCricketerMag@GeorgeDobell1 Well, our group had a great day and are eagerly looking forward to the next test at Trent Bridge. Lovely batting, especially by Pope. One sided cricket is not exactly a rarity. Ask the Aussies about Ashes series Down Under.
🌹 This #ValentinesDay, think beyond the bouquet!

@icelandcricket Fine leg. No catches ever go there. Only leg byes and deflections off the keeper. Pointless position. But if you move them elsewhere the keeper promptly becomes incapable of stopping legside deliveries and looks like you've eaten their hamster as the ball trickles for 4 byes.
@collinsadam It is the same box of balls for both teams. And there seemed to be a problem with the durability of the match balls in that series, so not just an issue of batters' reward for smacking it about. Definitely needs to be standardisation of replacements though. All good fun really.
@johnwright15@thehundred There don't appear to be many kids at Old Trafford this week. Or even many under 30s. There needs to be a joined up strategy for broadening the game's appeal.
@AnnieChave@onedaycup The ECB have missed a trick. The Hundred and @onedaycup complement each other very well and should be promoted together. Games at Rugby School were a lovely throwback to the JPL which grew the game in 70s and 80s.
