Remember, before the Ashes we have 4(?) tests in India. If Johnson is terrible in those tests, and guys like Pattinson regain their fitness, Johnson might not make it to the Ashes.

We can only hope.

It was literally only Slater who's mad cause he would have scored probably 2000 more runs with boundary ropes


Except he wouldn't have because when he played people were all fat, slow and couldn't field.

Is that an issue with baseball style fences?


Baseball is dumb and the ball goes near a fence about once a month so it isn't really comparable.

Thanks!

In some sort of stupor I put a decently large wager on England in the middle of the night last night. No idea what I was thinking in a half awake state. I swear I need some kind of lock out on my offshore book account. I used to wish I had a breathalyzer on my gambling account, but this time I wasn't even under the influence, just sleep betting. :question: :shrug: :question:



Good bet imo

You get 42 transfers over the first 21 matches, ie it's more about how you roll your squad over than just picking the 11 best players for the whole tournament.

:ssh: There's 1 team that plays 3 times in the first 9 days and only 2 that play 2 :ssh:


That seems very labour intensive.

In another tragic incident on the field, 18-year-old Zeeshan Mohammed died after being struck on the chest by a cricket ball.

Doctors at the Orangi Town General Hospital said that Mohammed died from a heart seizure after he was struck by the cricket ball during a club match in Orangi on Sunday.

“He was brought to the hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival,” Doctor Samad at the hospital said. “We were told he was hit on the chest by a fast bowler while batting and collapsed on the pitch,” he said.
