The Unofficial 2021/2/3/4 Cricket Thread

Usual biased shit from the BBC. Headlines all about Home Counties teams.

Headline Crawley goes early for Kent. What about the batters who didn't go early. The Bears just got their 2nd batting point on 80 overs, 300, with only the loss of two wickets

Headlines nah Crawley getting out far more important.

You're right, I think there's been an edict in place for some time at the BBC that they should only talk about Middlesex, Surrey, Essex, Hants and the like.
You won't find any stories on their site about Yorkshire, Lancashire, Warwickshire etc

You mean the impartial BBC, as many would have us to believe....are now not impartial??

Definitely, Mr C.
The BBC should be hauled over the coals for ignoring certain cricket counties. Click on the link I posted and you'll see.

I did hence my post.

2024 is going to be a disaster for Lancashire in the County Championship, safe to say there's more enjoyment watching this lad in the 2nds

Who'd have thought playing half the season in April and September would bring about serious weather issues and ruining the campaign?

In fairness, the county cricket season always starts in April. It's just that this year, the spring has been particularly cold and wet.

Why don't they have the final day of a game on a Sunday rather than a Monday?

[The Ghost of Alex Higgins]

Because they are fucking cunts

[JW90]

It is done to ensure more play (is lost) on weekend days.

A Battle of Britain in the T20 World Cup. The Scotch get their only victory of the day winning the toss and electing to hat.

Quite a few English and some Scots in the crowd in Barbados which looks better than for the Windies home match v Papua New Guinea on Sundsy in Guyana in which a poor over late on cost PNG a glorious win.

Bit of rain hopefully just passing through.

[JW90]

Scotch twatting us about until the rain came back.

Yep, though one catch but Wood clearly over the line.

[Carlos J]

We've got 10 overs per side now. Scotland 51/0 after 6.2 from earlier.

[Carlos J]

Poor Scotch. Made a nice 90/0 in their 10 and the rains came again so game abandoned.

The former Scotland pro was a bit of a bellend on R5.
Before the game, "when we beat England and Australia...", then after the washout claims it was a moral victory for Scotland
