England’s summer of international cricket - 2025 thread

I'd like to see Joe Root used more, he's a genuine spinning option imho.

He does have a habit of picking up big wickets when he bowls.

What's Rehan Ahmed got to do to get a recall??

He's developing into a tidy all rounder - batting in the top 3 for Leics - scored 760 runs so far this season - with 5 tons - and a batting avg of 50.66.

Plus, he's taken 21 wkts @16.85

Not to replace Joe Root.

Nice to see Thorpey headbands being worn
A very special charity.

Did anyone see India being bowled out for 224 on an Oval wicket, with this bowling attack?

No. And now Crawley and Duckett are doing what they do at six an over. This could be a series defining passage of play one way or another.

That’s some session from England.

What a series this is. Three days to go, everything is still possible. Except India winning the series. That’s not possible.

Shame about Duckett losing his wicket the way he did, him and Crawley batted like a one dayer 20/20 even.

Well no. I give less than two shits about them. One shit maybe.

I hope the ghost of Don Shepherd is the first thing you see when you fall asleep for this post! Or Malcom Nash even Your life membership of Fred's Bar has been revoked.

Hell of a days Cricket and test match, 2nd day India lead by 52, Duckett likes a bit sledging fairplay

Warner makes a jibe at Joe Root, pathetic from him, obnoxious Aussie thug.

The Hundred: David Warner casts doubt on Joe Root's Ashes form

David Warner says Joe Root will need to "take the surfboard off his front leg" if he and England are to succeed in Australia this winter.

How much can England chase? More to the point probably, how much do India feel safe defending cos the onus is on them to win the game. They’ll want a lead of 400 at least to feel properly safe.
