Stan AF Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 What batting performance from Malan & Morgan!!!. Take a bow. Malan 101(48)*. England are clearly front runners for next year. Link to comment
Stan AF Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Captain's knock from Morgan. 2-1 down and he comes in and bashes 4's and 6's. Reminded much of Rohit's knock yesterday. maniac and raki05 2 Link to comment
SK_IH Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Never understood why Eng ex players moaned about current English players participating in IPL and honing their skills. Eng have such battery of T20 hitters it's astonishing, on the flip side India with so many years of IPL have produced so little to boast about. Four questions arise: Are Indian players not good enough in comparison or Eng players coming through or current are more dynamic and enterprising or English players have accepted the modern batting approach too religiously or Top Indian players still think(as we all criticize them for) T20s are abbreviated ODIs and they cascade that thought process to the squad tweaker and Stan AF 2 Link to comment

Setting aside, the previous generation cricketers one can count the number of true all format/one format specific batsmen/bowlers we have developed in this decade. Our system produces mediocrity (MOSTLY). SK_IH, Rightarmfast and tweaker 3 Link to comment

Stan AF Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Kudos to england for going neck to neck and giving a competition. Value for audiences both in the ground and TV. If this was our Indian team we would have folded after the top 3 wickets. Link to comment
