So India have a left-arm chinaman bowler in their Under 19 team. Have they ever had one play test cricket? I can't think of any.

They have had a couple of right-arm chinamen bowlers though.

He looks promising. Gets plenty of turn.

Many of the English batsmen have learnt the graceful art of the leave in OD cricket. I'm welling up. At least Duckett may drag them near.

I think I just heard Harsha Bhogle say something complimentary about an England player. That'll be Early Onset Dementia then.

148/6. I was going to post earlier that this had all the hallmarks of a feeble, panicked England collapse in the face of mild pressure chasing an easily gettable total.

F*cking Pietersen.

What, is he playing? Pretending to be 18 in true Nigerian footballer style?

He's obviously infected the entire system, from top to bottom, crushing their self belief and ability to not be total spackers.

When will English cricket be finally rid of his insidious influence?

Kuldeep Yadav ended up with 10/0/46/3
When I was watching earlier the batsmen couldn't pick his wrong-un.

But in mitigation, they were English batsmen, who can't pick right-uns or straight-on-uns either.

England need 4 from 6...should win it.

by furriner Sat 22 Feb 2014, 13:03

And England win.

This Rob Jones fellow seems a bit of a 'character'.

Good that he was able to forge a career after his injury ravaged time in football

Ben Duckett 61 off 64. That rare beast - a young English bat who has a clue about playing spin.

by beamer Sat 22 Feb 2014, 21:35

The few moments of this I've seen made England look very much like another shittifying Ashley Giles-cloned JAMODI-by-numbers team... but we're in the semi-finals? scratch

Windies batting first against Australia.

Good yorker from Billy Stanlake cleans up the opening batsman.

by WideWally Sun 23 Feb 2014, 05:51

2 wickets off consecutive balls by Guy Walker leaves the Windies struggling at 3/7.

by WideWally Sun 23 Feb 2014, 07:07

Cricinfo describing Ben Ashkenazi as left-arm medium, but watching the TV coverage I could swear he is bowling with his right arm & probably deserves to be called fast medium as well.

High five for the 90s football reference.

Could've been a good right back, actually. He was Lee Dixon, without all that Lee Dixon-ness dragging him down.

by Nath Sun 23 Feb 2014, 09:43

143 out of 208 and the next best score is 20. Shocked
