Toonpack 9404 Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Tremendous bowling all round, 47 dot balls, all but equivalent of 8 maiden overs and in a 20/20, unreal tbh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets even better. You knew we’d win if he was there at the end 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next time we approach anything like The Cuban Missile Crisis then we just need to send Stokes in to sort it out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 4156 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Fair play lads, congrats, well deserved. England easily the best team in the competition. Our batting was below par, 20 runs short at least. Bowlers did well to try and make a game of it but England looked fairly comfortable throughout to be honest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helped that your best bowler fucked himself taking that catch. Could've been a bit tighter although I would've expected Stokes to drag us over the line. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought your lot bowled superbly and if Afridi hadn’t picked up that injury then who knows? As the pressure was starting to build. Then there was that 14 runs off 4 balls or something and that just killed the game. Rashid bowled a lovely spell too.

I think Stokes is the only captain we’ve had in that period who would use him properly. Look at how Leach looks better with right fields set. I don’t think Root in particular trusted him (I never rated Root as a captain and the senior bowlers set their own fields). There’s also the way you need to bowl more stock balls in tests and white ball cricket being more about variation. At Yorkshire he became a white ball specialist. Didn’t they stop picking him in county championship games? With what’s come out since you wonder if prejudice played a part. In any case, it’s difficult to say Rashid could’ve had a better career if he’d been able to concentrate on the longer format. He’s had an absolutely stellar career Edited November 14, 2022 by Alex 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s had an absolutely stellar career i think you're probably right. rashid might have flourished under stokes and mccullum and it's a shame he never had the chance to play for an attacking coach/captain in tests.

Proper master of his craft Rashid was outstanding. Got Babar just when he looked settled. Depth bowling from England was great too because at something like 110 with 5 overs to go 160 looked probable. Back to not caring about cricket till the next World Cup, its the exact opposite of football 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surreymag 71 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Great result after the disappointment of both rugby teams losing all be it narrowly. Well done to the team especially Stokes.
