The ECB are trying to sell their stake to investors to raise money, which is the kind of stunning business idea no-one has thought of before because [checks notes] it's loving stupid. They're morons who only seem to care about money and seem to consider the fact that Test Cricket is the most popular form of the game an ongoing embarrassment.

I'm confused, aren't England playing a Test against Zimbabwe before then (28th-31st May)? Or is Jimmy confirmed not to be playing in that one anyway?

no games against Zimbabwe are on the schedule, and England are playing Pakistan in T20 warm-ups on the 28th & 30th May before flying out to the Caribbean

Oh I've been reading it wrong, the Zimbabwe game is 2025. E: hah, for some reason it's there at the top of the list of Future Series on Cricinfo even though it's in 2025 and all the ones after are in 2024. Paul.Power fucked around with this message at 15:29 on May 11, 2024 |

Speaking of, Ben Stokes bowled 17 overs for Durham today and took 2/70 while Jofra Archer played the final day of a first class second XI game and took 1/11 in six overs

I found it funny that there was an article that listed Brydon Carse as a possible call-up to replace Jimmy, but felt the need to point out his form has been poor. "Poor" being a very kind word to describe the shite he's been serving up so far this season.

I bought my flight, hotel, and tickets to the cricket matches in Barbados in the first week of June. I have never seen cricket and somewhat understand 6 balls make 1 over, 20 overs a side. What do I need to know about cricket to enjoy watching cricket? I'm a very solid drinker, if that helps.

Apparently Modi/BCCI wanted India to wear orange jerseys when they played Pakistan to further rile things up but the team said no, in part because they would "look too much like Holland" and because it was "not the right time." Other fun facts from the article about India in Wisden's is that the BCCI told the commenators not to show them on the screen once it was clear Australia was going to chase down the total in the final and that Modi went into the dressing room after with a tv crew to record him consoling the players.

Any facts, no matter how bizarre or extreme about Modi or the BCCIs pettiness and/or insanity arenot only true, but likely underplayed. Its like when Langer chucked his tanty about the TVscreens at a gtound in Dhaka showing Bangladeshi highlights. But imagine that pettiness in the hands of one of the worlds most powerful men

It applies to Test and first class cricket, where each team can bat twice (T20 each team bats for 20 overs or until all their batsmen are out) but otherwise it applies. quote:The Rules of Cricket More seriously, this looks like a decent intro. Read this then try to watch a game or two to see how those rules are applied. https://www.hunterandbligh.com.au/entertainment/cricket-for-dummies/ therattle fucked around with this message at 10:12 on May 18, 2024 |

Stokes with a casual 5/98 off 20 overs. I still wouldn't use him to do a full seamer's workload in a test, but having him come in for a three or four over spell in a session like you would use someone with rocket speed like a Wood or Archer might be a better role. He's never going to bowl 13 or 14 overs on the bounce like he did at Headingley in 2019

New season of The Test doco coming out soon apparently: https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/test-documentary-season-3-pat-cummins-role-controversial-jonny-bairstow-stumping-ashes-2023-1434410 Interesting to see that it was Cummins who noticed Bairstow kept wandering out of his crease and told Carey to have a shot. Sucks to see the impact it had on Carey’s mental health, but I think we could all kind of see it on the field?

Jamie Overton and Josh Tongue out for the summer, while Saqib Mahmood and Matthew Potts are probably also injured. Anyone want to bowl (sort of) fast for England's test team?
