Crawley really is Henry’s bunny six out of six.
2 good signings. Our middle-order still frightens the hell out of me though!Two good overseas signings now
Aussie Test all-rounder Webster signs for Warwickshire - Edgbaston
Warwickshire have signed new Australia Test all-rounder Beau Webster as the Club moves to strengthen its red and white ball options for the 2025 season.edgbaston.com
Getting business done early this year.Another bears signing for the start of the season Vishwa Fernando who has played for a few our counties already.
Still need another batsman as Bethell will be carrying the drinks for England all summer.Getting business done early this year.
Me thinks he might be doing more than that.Still need another batsman as Bethell will be carrying the drinks for England all summer.
Once they get Smith back in they will need to some where for Pope to average about 12.Me thinks he might be doing more than that.
They need to get back to basics like playing cricket and getting fit instead of messing about making tik toksWomen looking like they could be "clean swept". Already in trouble day one of the only Test.
Careful, they’ll fall out with youThey need to get back to basics like playing cricket and getting fit instead of messing about making tik toks
Tour has been an absolute fucking shambles. Not saying its easy to beat the Aussies, especially over there, but this has just been a disaster. Not even close to making a mark.Women looking like they could be "clean swept". Already in trouble day one of the only Test.
This is a huge part of the problem. There's not many options coming through and the ones that are they seem to coach any raw talent out of them.Do they have replacements available I don’t watch a lot of ladies cricket to know and part of the problem is when they come in they are in poor condition like Alice Capsey?
I wonder if the England team are disappointed that the Aussies didn't declare to give them a chance to have another abject batting performance and be all out by close of play so they could all fly home tomorrow to get on with their social media careers!?Aussies 172 ahead with 6 wickets left. Wonder if they'll go for an early declaration and get England in tonight under the lights. The way this tour is going you wouldn't bet against a few wickets falling tonight before being skittled out tomorrow.
More sightseeing time as most of this useless lot won’t be in Australia again.I wonder if the England team are disappointed that the Aussies didn't declare to give them a chance to have another abject batting performance and be all out by close of play so they could all fly home tomorrow to get on with their social media careers!?
The lions won’t have a tantrum at valid media criticism thoughLions not doing rhat much better than the women.
Problem is no-one's going to be asking the hard questions or pointing fingers because of the way they've reacted recently eg Sophie Hartley problems. Other issue is what is the pool depth - around 80-90 professionals. Aussie women's cricket is played as hard as the men's - their 20/20 tournament is way ahead of England's as well. They'll take great delight in "nilling" England and so they should.Shambolic to the end. An innings defeat and 16-0 loss.
In any sane world serious questions would be getting asked of the management team and a lot of those players would be wondering if they will ever play for England again but apparently you're not allowed to ask questions or suggest the level of performance hasn't be good enough.
And of course the huge problem that we don't exactly have players queuing up to take their place.
I'd be tempted to make wholesale changes, short term pain to hopefully be a position to actually challenge at the 2026 T20 World Cup which is being held here.
Not just the low number, it's the drop off in quality. The Hundred sides struggle to have a squad of decent quality when they're packed with overseas players. If you ever watch the other domestic women's competitions the drop off in quality is staggering.Other issue is what is the pool depth - around 80-90 professionals.
That's one of the issues.They've been professional for over 10 years now. Had investment that way exceeds the income they generate. yet seemingly there isn't improvement relative to investmentNot just the low number, it's the drop off in quality.
