Good news for Lancashire and hopefully England....after Hameed's double century against Loughborough MCCU he is currently 80* against Middlesex, it would be great to see him back in consistent form.
He made a century in the end. Must have changed his style, he scored a six, unthinkable two years ago apparently!Good news for Lancashire and hopefully England....after Hameed's double century against Loughborough MCCU he is currently 80* against Middlesex, it would be great to see him back in consistent form.
Mark Wood?
As soon as the umpire has signalled out, the ball's dead, so even if they carried on running they wouldn't get the runs. It's only a matter of time before that happens if it hasn't already, and the rules may have to be changed so that the batsman can carry on running and then make the appeal to the "out" when the ball's gone dead.As far as I know, as there's a referral, the ball isn't dead until a decision has been made.
However, if the batsman is decided to be not out, he can't run those leg byes, as the ball then becomes dead and the game is over.
Other decisions are available ….. !

For those who may be wondering, Saqib isn't the Mahmood we had years ago (that was Saj!!) - he's been quite a prospect for years (he's English, 22) but has had many injury problems; otherwise he could easily have been a test player right now. It's also a rarety that a bowler takes 5 in successive one-day games.Royal London One-Day Cup
Leicestershire 80 all out (37 overs)
Saqib Mahmood 10-3-14-5
Lancashire 83-1 (19 overs)
After the Bristol (alleged) assault Michael Vaughan, in his regular column in the Daily Telegraph, commented that he could think of no cricketer more unsuitable to accompany Ben Stokes on a night out than Hales: he left it at that, but I guess he and others must know a lot more about his character than is ever revealed to the public.What is going on with Alex Hales? Withdrawn from the England world cup squad and subject, according to the Guardian, of a recreational drug use ban.
"Who I would get rid of? Anyone. He's brilliant."
At least they had long boundaries so a six was worth a six. Today's semi-final is using the same track (I've been told) so it will be interesting what scores occur there (Hants v Lancs, 50 overs) and whether it will turn more towards the end of the day.A veritable run-fest at yesterday's match between England and Pakistan.
I don't like the light blue colour. That is India's colour. England usually wear dark blue outfits and I believe they used red tops before that.England at the world cup have saved time by designing an outfit that doubles as pajamas.
That was some catch.I don’t know as much about cricket as the rest of you on this thread. But that catch by Ben Stokes looks better and better the more times you watch it...
