The first ODI v Sri Lanka kicks off at 11.00 am today.
The weather is set fair, so a full day’s play can be enjoyed by those of us working from home.
Bloody COVID.

I'm sensing Bairstow wants to be done in time for the football here........

80-4...
Should be 80-5 because the keeper just dropped Mo first ball. And it wasn’t a tough chance.

Time to bin the Billing experiment, he’s rubbish.
And Morgan might be a great captain but he needs to start contributing with the bat......

13 years olds can post things online these days. When they're going 30 shall they be judged on what they post when they were 13 ? Woke shite again. Just like those 200 grand a week footballs preaching equality by taking the knee. I hope England cricket lose every game they play and England football get humiliated at the euros. Quick shout out to Themistocles at this challenging time. 🙏

50 over match about to start, England win the toss and are bowling.
My two favourite players Billings and Tom Curran are playing let's hope they live up to the hype for once.......

I thought Sam Curran bowled excellently in the last game and he's more than carrying it on here.
Less said about the Sri Lankans the better.

England just far too good for a pretty weak Sri Lanka team. Curran was the one highlight - Sam that is! He’s establishing himself as a regular pick for the white ball team.

It has given the opportunity for Eoin Morgan to hopefuly bat himself back into a bit of form.

You can’t fault his heart and desire. The IPL has done him the world of good

Positive news for all concerned here 👇
Well done to the ECB, and importantly, well done to Ollie Robinson.

The 3rd and final ODI ended up as a damp squib with England being denied a 3-0 series whitewash due to the weather having bowled out Sri Lanka for just 166. It has to be said Sri Lanka are a pretty poor outfit just now. Anyway, the next and, I hope, much sterner challenge starts this coming Thursday with Pakistan and the first of three ODIs kicking off in Cardiff before a fulll house at Lords on Saturday. Just like the good old days.

I’m on a rare trip down south this weekend to see family, something I’ve been banned from doing at various and sustained periods in the last 12 months or so. Anyway, I’m hoping for good weather as I’ll be taking in part of the Welsh Coast Path on Saturday. I’m addicted to strenuous walks in the great outdoors. It keeps me sane and sanguine. It doesn’t do much for my tendency to grumpy contrariness though.

I should have been at the Lancashire Lighting v Northants Steelbacks T20 game on Friday but they've reduced the capacity due to the local spikes in Covid cases so we missed out.......

This is going to be a bit chaotic. Presumably they will name the squad today, they will assemble tomorrow and play on Thursday. It will be like being back in the 1990's! I assume they won't have any coaches available either.

Surely time to bring Hales back in from the wilderness? Hain, Duckett, Malan (if he's sorted his personal issue), Lawrence, Pope, Topley, Mahmood, Robinson, Brooks, Crane, Vince, Foakes, Parkinson, Jacks, Pat Brown, Joe Clarke? Joe Denly??

Sri Lanka were a poor side, weren't they. It's not often there is that much of an obvious difference in quality in limited overs games, but they were really poor and consistently so.
