Seen a link on the Official England Cricket website and I've attended a screening interview. Passed the DBS check and the training has been pretty good. After a 7 hour shift at the fanzone in Nottingham city centre I will do 12 hours @ Trent Bridge for England v Pakistan then a nice 7-30am til 3pm shift @ India v New Zealand on the 13th. The fact that's the day before my family holiday to Menorca means I'm avoiding the case packing stress. Biggest worry is the final is the day after I get married.

Creampuff 22,628 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Don’t have any huge issues with England’s squad, though I probably would have taken Willey over Dawson. I’m not sure the third spinner will be required. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEFTONG 59,874 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Archer is tasty. Amazing that England got him after a back injury whilst bowling for the West Indies U-19's allowed him to end up moving to England. Nasser just said that he had a spell at Club cricket. Imagine facing him at club level. Yikes. What a catch from Stokes. Truly awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At uni I played with an Aussie who was on a 1 year exchange programme. He was quick, had come through some youth setup attached to New South Wales cricket team . Speed gun clocked him at 85mph - unreal. Took 6-13 once in a 20 over game. And I'm not even exaggerating when I say the bulk of those 13 runs came from edges When I go over to Pak as well I always play some street cricket and you always see the skinniest guy come along and you think there's no way this kid is fast and he throws it down at God knows what speed, but it's fast. Astonishing how good some of the talent is out there, with no infrastructure to harness / take advantage of it. TEFTONG 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astonishing how good some of the talent is out there, with no infrastructure to harness / take advantage of it. The last game of cricket I played was about ten years ago and I was filling in for a mates team basically just expecting to field. I can’t bat to save myself (no shot selection whatsoever), and I was a rather poor medium slow bowler. They made me open the batting 😂 Turned out it was because the team had some guy who was lighting quick, although he wasn’t very accurate, hence why he was playing third team level. Absolutely frightening hearing the leather buzz past your ear 😂 He bowled the guy I was partnering with pretty quickly. I think I survived about 4 overs trying to block everything and was bowled for a score of 0. My mate last year found the scoring card which was a laugh.

I've taken a fair few blows in the head from quicks because my shot selection is garbage - far too aggressive. I could be batting against anyone and if they send down a bouncer no matter how quick you can bet your house I'm hooking or pulling that ball I was like the Kamran Akmal of club cricket, constantly getting out to hooks or pulls 😂😂😂 Was thinking of joining up with a cricket club again this summer. have been away from the sport for a while but I really love playing Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
