The captain is the Root of the problem

I see what you've done there. You've used the name Root and the word root to be the same meaning.

Nothing gets by me you know.

Yours sincerely, Captain Obvious!

*Dislike*

Just beyond your comprehension that sort of amateurism isn't it?

 

[Fulford]

Can't believe the position they are in that one of them gets run out.

 

[Fulford]

97-7 it just gets worse.

 

[sirdennis]

When you are trying to battle it out it is beyond belief how you contrive to run yourself out.

 

[Fulford]

Effectively 10-8 at stumps.

PATHETIC.

Put all your eggs in the T20 (or baseball as I like to call it) basket and this is what happens.

Australia women beat England women to win the World Cup.

Two fantastic innings in the final. It's a pity Nat Sciver didn't get more support from the others , we may have got a lot closer then.

I think a few of us, against our best thoughts, were surprised how much fun The 100 was last year. Especially as it was during lockdown so plenty of time to fill.

They are doing the draft at the moment for this years tournament.

Mighty Moseley start the season with a cup match today and have a home game against local (ish) rivals Knowle & Dorridge who have announced the signing of one Carlos Braithwaite and he makes his debut for them today.

He's done the right thing.

Great outlook from Carlos Brathwaite.

WEST INDIES hero Carlos Brathwaite had a day to forget on Saturday.
The 2016 Twenty20 World Cup-winning all-rounder, 33, made his Birmingham & District Premier League debut for Knowle & Dorridge CC at the weekend.

Jos Buttler in the IPL tonight...

Poor ending though with the Delhi players basically surrounding the umpires over a no-call on a potential no ball. Just not cricket - literally.
