Any way both teams can lose?

Why on earth should the FC not use its clout to force collaboration if the CC won’t give an inch? It’s hearsay but it’s well known hearsay. Also the FC don’t owe the CC anything. The CC have done extremely well out of being neighbours. I’d much rather BFC fans gave their money to the FC than the CC...

Top lad he is I reckon.... grafts on the pitch, and in all the videos around the place, he looks to be key in driving the positive culture around the training ground.

Peace of mind?

Some lesser people than you suffer anxiety over issues like this.

Ticketmaster trend, for big concerts, is moving tickets to be available only 36-48 hours ahead of the event. Reduces ticket fraud apparently.

I spent many a summer holiday watching day after day test cricket with my Grandma, loved every minute and still love test cricket. I also watched a game between Southern Braves and an another team (can't remember), two days ago, it went to last over and it was won with a six on the last ball, it wa...

if I've done the maths right, which admittedly I might not have done, playing each team once would mean that county games increase from the current 14 to 17, plus a couple of minor counties to take it up to 19, and then add in 3 way test competition, which presumably would be around 4 games, so 23 w...

Some fairly predictable responses and even verging on the snobbish side. For the record I love Test cricket and there is no doubt it is the supreme form of cricket. There’s also no doubt that 9000 people, including myself, had a brilliantly enjoyable time at Old Trafford on Monday night. Good stuff...

Things develop and move on I m afraid . Happened in the 60 s and 70 s with start of one day cricket . At least cricket in this country continues until well after we re gone. I m not particularly a fan and rarely watch the IPL as I don't identify with the teams. Continues how? With players playing f...

Like many “trad” cricket fans I’ve scoffed at The Hundred but I’m posting this on the train back from Manchester after what was, I have to say, a brilliant night at Old Trafford tonight . Manchester Originals beat London Spirit in a tight game with plenty of runs scored, a pantomime villain in Davi...

Another brilliant partnership from these 2. Their average as a pair is higher than cook and Strauss, and the left / right, tall / short combo, along with their aggression is an asset to this team.

Having averaged 8 yes 8 in 6 innings against New Zealand last winter the selectors must have considered his 124 against the world test batting might of Zimbabwe in May enough to prove what a great opener he is.

Kids prices are good and the TV cameras showed a few groups of kids enjoying themselves, but adult prices are way to high.

10-15 quid is ample.

Based on what?

How much were ticket prices last night? It used to be guaranteed sell out outs for 20/20 Lancs Vs Yorkies until they pushed prices right up to make the 100 seem cheap. No marketing, no advertising, games not guaranteed to be on Weekend nights any more.... the ECB are doing their damnedest to kill t...

Those who don't like gambling sponsors because of the impact it has on youth and society in general are surely going to lose their minds at this announcement.

No show from Bosscat or Bodge..... I was going to ask them how Adil Rashid's injury is coming along..... tough run of luck for him now to have not played a single game for Yorkshire since 2022.

I’m a big fan of harsher penalties for people who are just being dicks….. society is much better if with less dickheads like this pair.

No matter how many times people on here write off this team, tell us that this player or that player aren't good enough, this team regularly find a way to win.

Sorry lads - Heaton park calling. And the cheek of the Lancy lad from Earby chipping in when he's poured disdain on the T20 for years is beyond belief. Are Lancs still top? Are Yorks still bottom? Maybe if Sulky Cymbals had cared a bit more for the rest of the season, he'd have got another decent sc...

Oasis, schmoasis. Sick of it all now tbh. Two brothers, one slightly less of a dick than the other, play guitar and maracas. Hardly the Stones or the Beatles are they?

That’s what music and more importantly Oasis are about.

Yeah, if it suits your defence of an opener who averages 30.

Can I be clear? Is your argument that it's not harder to bat as an opener in English conditions?

There's cricket outside of England.

But conditions for openers are often very different.... therefore, for consistency of comparison, it's best to focus on England pairings.

How quickly could you see that Cook and Strauss's average isn't that great and is a modest bar to compare against?

Which England opening partnership would you like to use as the baseline for this analysis?

Yeah, but AI said....

I can get a summary of stats quicker than people can….. don’t be scared if the future…..

dandeclaret

Average wise - Cook Strauss averaged 40.40 as an opening batting pair. Duckett Crawley average 43.62 (51 innings). I suspect this might be something the selectors are looking at as well as pace of scoring.

dandeclaret

Whichever way you look at it, his stats are not good, except against lesser test playing nations. And he has just failed again now.. Which other stats are not good enough? AS for today, I would say Duckett has failed - getting out to a bad ball. Crawley has just gotten out to a very good ball. I'm ...

Ollie Pope looking as settled as ever....... Crawley gone to a jaffer.

dandeclaret

It wasn't a friendly, it was a one off test.... single stats are pretty pointless, manipulated single stats to try and prove a point even more so.

dandeclaret

From AI tool Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley have become England's established Test opening partnership under the "Bazball" era, marked by an aggressive and high-scoring approach. Their partnership is distinctive for its rapid scoring rate and ability to lay a platform for England's middle order. Here's...

dandeclaret

What's his average per year been?

What's the opening partnership average been? They seem to get the team off to a good start pretty regularly for the last couple of years.

Single stats rarely paint the picture.

dandeclaret

Bue he has been part of a very successful opening pair for quite a while now - the left hand right hand / tall guy short guy mix makes it difficult for bowlers to settle.
