tin Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 Personally, to help the England Test team I would: Play the 50-over stuff throughout April Play County Cricket from the first week of May to the first week of Sept, Mon-Thurs, a total of 18 games in 18 weeks, put it on free-to-air TV and promote it Play T20 Blast on Fridays alongside the County Cricket season, two nine-team North/South divisions (minimum 8 games each) plus knock-out rounds and Finals Day Play The 100 after Finals Day solely in September. Anyone available but not playing Tests for England should play for their county, instead of carrying the drinks all summer. For the big Test tours, like the Ashes and India, schedule in at least two first-class games as warm-up matches and maybe a third midway through the five-Test series. Get rid of Root, Silverwood, Bobat, Giles, and Harrison. Reinstate a national selector. Employ a Test coach and a white-ball coach. Two coaches, two different formats.

SuperRed Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) A video has been leaked showing the police putting an end to a “party” involving some England and Australia players at 6am on Monday. The video only shows a few players from either side having a drink outside but the video was filmed by Graham Thorpe who drunkenly narrates which players are there and said he was videoing it for the lawyers. It’s going to be pretty uncomfortable for him given it has made it to the press. Fitting way to end a shambles of a tour.

Historically England have been hammered pretty much everywhere overseas since the game became international. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 Met Dom Sibley, Tom Curran and Sam Curran tonight as part of a new cricketing scheme in Bristol. My lad beat Curran’s outside edge which he was delighted about! Sibley ain’t the sharpest tool in the box. 3 lovely guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
