This is fantastic news, I’m pleased.
However, I am a huge fan of the Sky Cricket package. Their product and staff team are absolutely the best in sport.

I had to Google Peter West, the rest would have actually provided an insightful analysis, although I'm not sure they'd have completely bought into the concept of T20

Re: Cricket back on bbc
Will Agnew be part of the TV team. I don't understand why he isn't part of the TV highlights team when he is main man on the radio. A waste of both the best broadcaster in the team and BBC resources in having to send more people than they need.
Add to that, the rest of the TMS team who are exclusively radio only.

Re: Cricket back on bbc
I wasn't a big fan of Laker but loved Arlott. As for Fred, he was always good entertainment. As for Peter West, he should have stuck to Come Dancing, hated him on the cricket, thought he was dreadful. Shame they can't get Dennis Compton and Ted Dexter back with a few bottles of wine, they were always fun after tea once the bottles were empty.
I'll be sticking to Sky today I would think.

Mostly TMS people commenting, Tuffnell, Vaughan, and Jimmy As a bonus as I presume he’s been in the bubble.

I’m watching on Sky because I don’t want any of that biased left wing commentary.

England getting a chasing so far, 51-0 at the end of the powerplay, both openers looking good, unless England take a wicket or two quickly, they could be chasing a big total here.

Rashid strikes England needed that, still 87-1 at halfway, with Babar looking ominous.

Re: Cricket back on bbc
Rashid strikes again, he's been outstanding once more for England in this format, 2-32 is his final figures amidst all the carnage. England still facing a tough chase, Pakistan will be looking at 160-170 from here, and their bowling attack won't be easy to get away on this track, especially with it offering spin.

I forgot just how bad bowling is in 20/20.
Thank goodness they keep the test bowlers away from learning how to bowl like this.

Re: Cricket back on bbc
Buffet bowling from England, and quality players will eat that up all day long. Good game for the batsman to win from here.
195-4 so England need to score at nearly 10 an over to win, it's also the highest T20 score at OT, so if England do win from here it'll be a heck of a chase, and someone will have to play a blinder.

Re: Cricket back on bbc
England keeping up with the rate so far, but there's only been 3 overs, this could be a humdinger of a finish at this rate.
Re: Cricket back on bbc

Re: Cricket back on bbc
I laughed when I saw the reference to buffet bowling. There was an old bloke years ago who used to watch Burnley at cricket. He would have described them as bun & coffee bowlers.tiger76 wrote: ↑Sun Aug 30, 2020 3:53 pmBuffet bowling from England, and quality players will eat that up all day long.

Re: Cricket back on bbc
2 in 2 for Pakistan both openers back in the hutch, that might set England back, 66-2 in the 7th,and Morgan surviving a close LBW shout 2nd ball, could be a vital moment.

Re: Cricket back on bbc
We’ve done him, praising him. Morgan gone for 66. England need 18 from 19 balls.
Morgan & Malan just put on 112 from 64 deliveries.

Re: Cricket back on bbc
He has played brilliantly again, but he could have easily been out 2nd ball, umpire's call on the LB shout, so if he'd been given it wouldn't have been overturned, close margins to say the least.
Morgan gone for 66, but England should see it home from here, only a run a ball required.

Moeen needs to go and play county cricket for a while, his confidence is shot with England.

50 for Malan off just 35 balls, and a couple of boundaries for Billings, he's out but it shouldn't matter.
