My feeling is that England are comfortably ahead of India in ODIs at the moment

100%. There's not a comparison at the moment.secretzimbo wrote: ↑Wed Jun 22, 2022 8:04 pmMy feeling is that England are comfortably ahead of India in ODIs at the moment
I mean look at Phil Salt. Wow! He's come from nowhere and bossed it up top. Liam Livingstone is unreal, you've got Ali, Butler, Morgan, Roy, Root, Malan, Bairstow, Banton, Brooks and many other young batters coming through who have now genuinely modeled their batting on the past 15CWC mentality. They're dangerously talented with the bat and now have arguably the most destructive keeper batter in ODI cricket as their head coach.
Then there's the arsenal of fast bowlers. England are absolutely better than India
Re: Zimbabweans in the UK/Europe Club Cricket (2022)
Theyve got a few good young spinners coming through as well. Young Rehan Ahmed's bowling in the T20 has been sensational. The batters are now mostly trying to see him off. He's only 17 (so he claims ). Its not possible for a 17 year old leggie to have that control. He'll be in the England squad within 18 months.
Oh and Archie Lenham, also a huge talent

There must be at least a dozen guys that are high 80's.
And there are some really big guys with steep bounce amongst them. I'll list a few when I have time

There's actually quite a few more guys that can crank it up as well.

Stone causes a lot of problems when he let's it go. I don't know why he's not in the England set up.
Re: Zimbabweans in the UK/Europe Club Cricket (2022)
There was an interesting piece about what percentage of deliveries were over 140, not that much, but it's largely because the wickets were bowler friendly and with the long season bowlers bowled well within themselves with good results. There's a call for better batting wickets to encourage the quicks to have to bowl faster. Anderson is one of the voices encouraging this.

Tom Lamonby really cranking it up for Somerset against Hampshire right now. On DSTV

Commentators tonite are saying well bowled when the bowling team is restricting the opposition to 170
Par score at Taunton is 195. Brilliant from Vince.
