Sam Curran hat trick.



England U19 have qualified for the semi finals of the U19 World Cup. Will play either Australia or Afghanistan.

I’m finding Harry Brook so dislikable and arrogant he has to be a koppite.

He certainly isn't doing himself any favours, coming across as a lying tosspot.

Got to go for me. Awful in the ashes, a liar and came across as so arrogant in the recent interview. If this was football (and I’m astonished I’m saying it) then he wouldn’t get near the team.
Baz need to go as he’s overseen a world of arrogance, idiocy, unprofessionalism and losses

 

[summerisle]

No wonder he's pissed off, a laughable action which has already seen him being banned.



Notwithstanding that, always nice to the Aussies lose again, their second warm up match for the World Cup, bowled out for 108.

Filthy. No problem with him "sliding" it out as he completes the action above shoulder the whole way through, but that's 45" side on.

Sri Lanka giving this a right old go.

Think they will be a real threat in the WC in home conditions

 

[JimmyJeffers]

Overton getting smashed all over here.

Our fielding has been so bad

Just seen a stat saying England's catch success of Archer since the start of the ashes is 40%. That can't be a great feeling for a bowler

You can see how frustrated he looks. But it’s not just the dropped catches in this game, we’ve given away really cheap runs as well.

 

[summerisle]

Australia bowled out for 96, after being bowled out in the previous game for 108. Pakistan win the series 3-0.

DLS always a bit unsatisfactory in t20, but that's a very handy chase from England

The desire from our own press to make our own players villains is remarkable. Plenty of so called fans joining and as usual the target didn't attend the right type of school
