Australia's total is looking a little light at the moment.

Can we get to 300? Buttler, Archer and Rashid are all capable enough to do it. But can they? On the basis of how badly it has gone for this team, it is unlikely. But, as an England fan, I still have hope.

No pressure and we're still sh#t. What were you doing Livingstone?

Looking like we may have blown this, but we believe you in you both Adil and Mark! Bring it home.....please.

Why not just chip some catching practice to long on Jamie? Come on Adil and Jofra, you can do it!

FFS! What was that Jos? Fingers crossed that Root can continue his anchor innings and Livingstone can express himself sufficiently.

England don't like making things easy for themselves or their fans....

Two different outcomes, one shouldn't have been nail-biting but was, and the other was always likely to be close and didn't disappoint. England not successful in the former, but held on at the end in the latter. Mixed emotions as an England cricket and rugby fan.

If Brook and Buttler can steady the ship, they should be able to power on for the win. It is amazing that not long ago, I would have said that India were a little short in their total as England would chase anything under 400 down easily. These days, that ain't the case it seems.

Sunday was a mixed bag as an England cricket & rugby fan: great result in the #M6N & a much better performance for all 80 mins; OK from Marcus at 15 & the "double Smith" experiment may well continue; but we still need to be on our best game to beat the Scots & not trip against Italy & Wales.

Oh well.....we can still win this #ODI series, but only if we play a lot better than that! #IndvEng

They do say never judge the score until the other side has batted, but I think England are at least 50 or 60 runs short, especially as they chose to bat. Still, one can hope..... #IndvEng #ODI #Cricket

I thought it took more than 48 hours to recover from a concussion..... Or is Dube going to have a relapse before India field so he can be replaced by a full-time bowler again? #Cricket #IndvEng #T20I

Enough said about the #INDvENG #T20I..... Not looking good for Wales in Paris #M6N at half time. That'll be an interesting half time chat from Gatland with the French having secured the bonus point before the interval.

Blimey! That's kept it alive with all still to play for. Masterful from Rashid and top work from Duckett and Livingstone. #INDvENG #T20I #Cricket

On current form and with no injuries, Joe Root could well pass Ricky Ponting and become the 2nd highest #Test run scorer when we play India at either Old Trafford or the Oval. If he continues similarly he should pass Tendulkar before his 37th birthday, with 45-48 centuries. #Cricket #CrystalBall

So a tricky 58 needed from South Africa.....anything is still possible, but probably a bit light to give Pakistan a real chance. But you never know..... #Test #Cricket #SAvPAK

submitted 57 days ago • 2 comments

Interesting today to see if PAK can build on their excellent start to their 2nd innings and force SA to bat again. Perhaps a cheeky 200 to 250 target? Then an unlikely victory for Pakistan could be on the cards. More likely, it remains an innings victory for SA. #Test #Cricket #SAvPAK

A nice little 7-fer from one of my favourite cricketers, Rashid Khan, in Afghanistan's 72 run victory over Zimbabwe this morning. 11 in the match too. Only 15 balls bowled on Day 5 which was enough to wrap the last two wickets up. Valiant effort from Erskine in vain. #Test #Cricket #ZIMvAFG

A victory overnight for AUS. It looks like a decision for Bavuma on whether or not to enforce the follow on in Cape Town with SA clearly in the box seat. Whilst in Bulawayo, five sessions for ZIM to get 278 or AFG 10 wickets, so it can go either way. #TestCricket is still the best format.

Getting interesting in Sydney...... #Test #BGT #TMS

Well played Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen. Edge of the seat stuff! #Test #Cricket is just so good. Looking interesting in Melbourne too as well as some great batting performances in Bulawayo with five centuries (one double) so far across both 1st innings.

Mohammad Abbas is putting together an amazing series at Centurion. This is really scintillating stuff as a neutral. #SAvPAK #Test #Cricket

Looking interesting in Bulawayo for Day 4 of the #ZIMvAFG #Test. If Ramat Shah can add another 170 runs to his overnight score then the Afghans could be setting a tricky total and we have a new highest Test innings, too.

As it is now past the end of my working day here in the UK on Christmas Eve, I thought that before too much more ethanol-based beverages are consumed over the next 24 hours by me, that I wish my followers and everyone on Bluesky the very best of the Festive season! Enjoy!

So here we are. Heading to bed with England on 100 for 2 after a good start to their morning, needing about 7000 to win, with an actual bit of belief that they just could achieve the impossible but also being 100% certain they will be all out for 200... Why is this just SO good?! #NZVEng #Cricket

submitted 78 days ago • 0 comments

Not a bad year for new #Test bowlers for #England with Atkinson taking 52 wickets at 22.15 (21 inns) since debut this year, Bashir 49 wickets at 40.19 (25 inns) and Carse 27 wickets at 19.85 (10 inns).

Thrilling #TestCricket as #Eng rattle through #SA mid/lower order. #MacDonaldGay cracked them open with some excellent line & length bowling. #Ecclestone was mostly next-level, as per. #Filer scared a couple & #Bell bowled 2-in-2. #SA all out 100-odd behind. #Eng must bat tonight.

640 with 8 wickets in hand (albeit one of them is an injured skipper) and 6 sessions left in the match. Now whilst it is very, very unlikely that we will get even near it, it is possible..... #Canwehope #Cricket #Test #NZvENG One thing is certain, so far, it has been a poor display from England

Well played Nat Sciver-Brunt for a wonderful #Test ton off 96 balls! And a better than a run-a-ball 170 plus partnership with Maia Bouchier too. How far can these two go today? #Cricket #SAvENG

A wonderful maiden Test century on debut for Maia Bouchier, ably supported by Nat Sciver-Brunt with a great half century heading towards her own ton as well as a run-a-ball century plus partnership between the two. If only the men had batted this well overnight...... #Cricket #SAvENG #Test

So for tonight...tidy up the last wicket. 450 for three or four at stumps on day 2. Push on to 750 to 800 declared around the tea break on day three. That'll leave NZ needing 400-450 to make England bat again, but more probably an innings an about 100 run victory for England. #Cricket #CrystalBall
