A work from home day declared for tomorrow.

 

[Cooperman]

It’s Trent Boult with the first ball of CWC 2023.

Six weeks of ODI cricket feast awaits.

 

[Cooperman]

Second ball six. Let’s go.

This is very poor from England.

 

[Swanjaxs]

At least 30 short, early wickets needed, also, Root getting out in the manor he did was cricketing suicide when he needed to steer the lower order towards and above 300...

 

[Epaul]

Getting pumped, not a good start

 

[exiledclaseboy]

Might as well get your full on shocker out of the way first game.

 

[Swanjaxs]

Ahh well, shoot low aim high I suppose :lol:

 

[exiledclaseboy]

Let’s hope it doesn’t come down to net run rate cos ours took a bashing today.

 

[Cooperman]

Once my ball by ball commentary stopped, it all went downhill for England.

Turned out they were 130 short.

Have not got any subscriptions or packages to PPV sport channels , maybe I am old school , still follow TMS on my transistor radio broadcasting on Long Wave , or did once , great coverage by the Beeb , a tradition they still try faithfuly to keep up .


Looks like Cricket is following Football into who pays the best money for our product , then you can screen it .

Enjoy my Cricket , St Helens etc , but I feel Sport is now a cash cow for broadcasters , dependant on subscribers .

Just to turn the arguement upside down Lineker is on mega bucks on MOTD , my licence fee helps him out .

Early days but looking like the Dutch might run Pakistan close here...
