'better'? as in 'actually manage to bat out their 20 overs?'

Be a start!

 

[PuriPuriManTumas]

Aah well, it could’a been worse … rain prevented any play in today’s Ladies T20! So the points stand at 3-1 The Locals, with the Test worth 4 points … verrry interrresting!

'better'? as in 'actually manage to bat out their 20 overs?'

Wo wo wo! Let's not get carried away, keep it believable.

 

[Fat POM]

So far so good, need ten an over to the finish, to set a decent score

 

[Oops]

S'okay lads, it's the Ump. that's having a 'mare tonight....

I wonder whether Mr Toogood(?) has ever seen a legspinning ball before.

Maybe Rashid's lb's were going under!

 

[Fat POM]

England scrape home by a single run. What a game!

Everyone goes home slightly unhappy!

Yes, enjoyed the game.

Very impressive, but it doesn't make him a test batsmen.

 

[Fat POM]

Very impressive, but it doesn't make him a test batsmen. Yet?

Batter

As a fully paid up member of the Old Farts Club and as he was a young man, batting, I am going to stick with batsman.

 

[Murphy_Slaw]

Batter

He's playing cricket, not working in a chippy.

 

[Fat POM]

England bowlers going round the park tonight.

England bowlers going round the park tonight.

Flat pitch, small boundaries, the usual.

Mills is getting battered, but Adil Rashid's keeping it (reasonably) tight

 

[Fat POM]

Looking at chasing 210+ though.

 

[Fat POM]

England chasing 225. My money is on the Windies.

Fair play to em
Somehow I think with Morgan on the field it'd be 30-50 less.
