2016 Cricket season thread

Yes be lucky to get a draw. Weather doesn't look like it'll intervene so something extraordinary will need to happen.
 
Well a predictable poor batting performance from us. Younus Khan showed what was possible on the wicket. Way too many fielding errors from both sides but especially England.
 
Indeed, England's batting line up needs a shake up before the winter tours as 2 or 3 of them aren't test match players imho at the moment at least. Need to go to county cricket and sort their game out like Bairstow and Woakes did so well.
 
As a test line up they are very much a work in progress. The capability is there. Just too inconsistent.
 
When our top order batsmen score runs we tend to win. Cook, Hales, Root, Vince and Balance need to do their job. We rely to often on lower orders batsmen like Bairstow, Ali and Woakes to dig us out of trouble.
 
Easy win then, the ODI side look awesome at the mo. Total turnaround since the awful world cup showing.
 
This is really entertaining. Record English ODI score by Hales and now Jos and Morgan launching them into orbit.
 
Fantastic result. Got to love cricket. Anyone know how Lincolshire are doing in the minor country's ? They were in the crap against Berks.
 
Well that was good. Stokes made 69, the recalled Bairstow 61 and Moeen Ali an unbeaten 45 as we recovered from 72-4 to chase 248 with two overs to spare at Headingley. That'll be 4-0 then with just Sunday in Cardiff to go.
 
Rain has stuffed up the county matches today. Looking at the table we really need to do something with the four day format. Way too many matches drawn. Somerset played 13 drawn 9.
