England fail against a canny team on a low scoring track, then.

He's a long-standing, one-note, quasi-troll idiot. Best ignored (and some of us have settings to ensure it), that's all.Last edited by Ray de Galles; 22-06-2019, 17:17.

Didn't see ENGvSL but here it seems as both sides have let the occasion get to them .... India - complacency and Afghanistan, overwhelmed by the idea that they are ahead...
BBC covering itself in glory - they have someone from BBC Afghanistan on describing life in the country through a cricket lens...fascinating stuff.

Some slower pitches as well, which are reportedly offering turn for the spinners and not bringing the ball onto the bat with as much pace for the batsman. Pushes and glances that go for fours off a fast bowler* are being restricted to ones and twos (or even dots, which mean zeros) in these games.
* - cf the ball from Archer (England) which clipped the top of off-stump, and went on from there to clear the boundary without bouncing. The batsman was of course out bowled, and the straight boundaries at Cardiff are relatively short, but even so it was remarkable to see a ball carry that far just from clipping the top of the stumps. That was the combination of both a very pacy fast bowler and a rather lively pitch.
