Ayrshire Saints Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Was at the T20 game at Taunton on Friday night, Somerset v Surrey and it was superb entertainment. Over 350 runs in 4 hours cricket with sixes galore all played in a sold out, shirt sleeved balmy atmosphere enjoying cracking local cider. Great night.

Pakistan currently 195/4 after 64 overs - now that's what I call Test cricket! ************** Lunch Day 3 Pakistan 339 & 40/1 (17.0 ov) England 272 Pakistan lead by 107 runs with 9 wickets remaining Not so easy for England against a balanced side on a decent wicket. **************** Great cricket, old fashioned Test-style with England currently 103/4 chasing 281 and facing a quality leg spinner. Could still go either way although Pakistan are favourites with the gambling community. I'm starting to hear renewed mumblings about Cap'n Cook who's on a run of 19 innings without a century since his mammoth 263 in Abu Dhabi - obviously an England win would give him more breathing space.

Bud the Baker Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) Second Test begins tomorrow at Old Trafford and the talk coming from the England camp suggests uncertainty as to how they will approach the game. Anderson & Stokes will come back into the team but will they (A) stick with Ali as the spinner (B) go for two by bringing in Rashid at the expense of a bowler I wouldn't want to push Stokes too high up the order but I suppose it's an option or (C) replace Ali with Rashid. I've listed the options in what is IMO the order of probability. Anyway with the Old Trafford pitch anticipated to take spin it'll be an interesting Test. *************** England win toss and go for Option (A) and are currently 60/1. If they can prolong the Innings then they will force Pakistan to go outwith their core 4 bowlers who did all the bowling in the First Test where neither of England's two Innings lasted 80 overs. Couldn't have gone much better for England today, Cook gets a century to mute the faint whisperings that it's been a while since Abu Dhabi, they're currently at 265/3 off 72 overs, a pretty brisk run rate and Pakistan don't look to have much bowling strength outside their core 4 at this level.

Bud the Baker Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 So Farewell Then Cap'n Cook Unlike your namesake it's unlikely that you'll be killed, have your bowels removed and then be baked. I guess all that remains to be seen is whether you'll hang around long enough to surpass the little master's total...............................

Bud the Baker Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 It's hard to get interested in these matches, never mind excited, with the ICC cutting the finals from 14 to 10 teams. 8 of the 10 places have already been filled and I'd expect the last two spots to go to Ireland and the Windies - Holland & Zimbabwe probably stand more chance than us of getting a place too. Still as long as the lucrative T20 circus rumbles on every little thing is gonna be allright! *************** Still let's support our team - come on ye Sco-ots!

Not good enough sadly, we are behind Zimbabwe on Run Rate and have to play West Indies UAE & Ireland who are all ranked above us but still a lot better than could reasonably have been expected going into the Super Sixes.
