Ireland having match against England by now helps with the practice for upcoming world cup.

Which world cup? If you are talking about the next T20 World Cup, then it is more than a year away (scheduled for October 2021). Anyway, these are just practice matches for England, as Ireland is not being able to offer any resistance. IMO, for the 3rd match England should rest some of their regular players and give opportunity to the younger ones.

By Tuesday 3rd ODI between England and Ireland is gonna be played. The first two matches were won by England. The second match being a close call with fast wickets for England while chasing the target. Finally the lower order stood strong taking towards a win. Ireland could've planned to make at least a winning, fortunately they've missed two chances. Ireland having match against England by now helps with the practice for upcoming world cup.

You are right there is a good chance of England winning this test match. West Indies still needs 437 runs which according to me is a huge total. If England can get few wickets they will easily win this match. It is completely one sided match now.

There is not going to be any "easy" win for any of the sides here. England has a chance of winning this match, but they need to take quick wickets. Shai Hope fell to Curran a few minutes ago, but Kraigg Brathwaite is still there. Among the English bowlers, Sam Curran is looking the most promising. West Indies still trail by 346 runs (i.e they need another 146 runs to avoid follow on).

There has been no activity in this oldest cricket thread also but now i think we can talk n discuss more about cricket.  Smiley
There was nothing much to talk about cricket and fortunately we have one series resumed and hopefully we will see more countries resuming the matches.
England is experimenting with the team and it would be fun if West Indies could white wash the series, i did not expect the first match to go with West Indies but they played the best cricket and hopefully they could retain that kind of performance.


Well right now its looking good for England after a good batting performance by the team. Now we'll see how good the WI are chasing over 450 runs in the first innings. England will need some quick wickets on day 3 if they are any chance of winning and to restrict the WI to under 350 runs.

@vella85 it finally looks like I’ll be getting this match’s prediction right (England), as I was horribly wrong about the last match, when I had so confidently posted that England would win the match easily. Further England has declared their innings after scoring 469 runs, and West Indies have already lost a wicket for 32 runs. Lastly if England manages to pick few more quick wickets, then they’ll definitely be able to win this match and restore their pride.

Cricket has resumed with England and West Indies series and we are able to witness live matches after the long time after covid 19. Although corona virus risk factor is still there but its good to see that cricket is resumed with some precautionary measures.

I was shit posting when i mentioned Ludo lol

IOC does recognize Chess as sport. Chess doesn't need to be included in regular Olympic anyway as it has its own Chess Olympiad.

Well.. I understood that it was sarcasm. I was just pointing out the recent attempts to include these pseudo-sports in Olympics. The most outrageous suggestion was to include Esports. Others in the list include DanceSport, Tug of war, Bodybuilding, Paragliding, Sumo.etc. To tell the truth, I don't even consider chess as an Olympic sport. People need to understand these games don't have anything to do with physical activity.

On the other hand, I am in favor of including Cricket, MMA, Capoeira, Sepak takraw.etc.

Every contact sports are dangerous in current scenario. no matter if its minimum or maximum contact. If there is contact then its a No_G0_Zone.

IMHO, Ludo and chess are the safest Grin
Would you beleive I am enjoying with these both but due to lock down feeling now my mind is not working as its need to done because sometime my head moving and doing wrong moves.

Haha didn't play ludo for ages.. good old times.

Ludo, Chess.etc are not real sports. They don't involve any physical activity. You can call them as "games", but not as "sports". And that is the reason why they are not included in competitions such as the Olympics and Asian Games. There is a crazy demand to include Esports in the Olympics, but I hope that the International Olympic Committee will reject this demand.

Hope you are aware that chess is accepted as a sporting event by the Olympic committee and there were plans to include chess during the 2020 Olympics but it was not accepted but i wont be surprised if it is accepted by the Olympic committee in the future and even E sports might get a nod in the future.

If you are keeping the desired distance of 1.8 m then Ludo and Chess will be safe, everyone is going through the strangest situation in their life when everyone is forced to sit at home because it is not safe to venture outside, it reminds me of "The Walking Dead" series and other zombie movies where you are afraid of everyone that are infected but with COVID 19 you cannot identify the infected which is much scary and that is happening in real life. Until there is a vaccine we wont be able to see any sporting events.

Don't you think that cricket is not as risky as some of the other sports? Playing cricket involves a bare minimum body contact between the players. The contact is made between the bat and ball, and not with the human body. Compare this to the other sports, such as Football, boxing, basketball.etc. I guess we can play cricket even now, provided that the players adhere to social distancing norms.  Grin
I think Cricket is the riskiest sport and Tennis and Table tennis being the least. Did you forget that the bowlers use saliva (the major carrier of the virus) to shine the ball and the fielder has to field saliva soaked ball Roll Eyes I know that they looking at the possibility of replacing it with artificial substances to shine the ball, but that's not going to stop their habit  Tongue Maybe we should give gloves to all fielders. Hmm... Interesting Baseball is literally safer than cricket.
Thinking of which athletic games like javelin throw, long jump, high jump etc are not risky at all. They don't attract much crowd and there is social distancing by default.

Well.. I can't agree with you. This disgusting habit of applying saliva and sweat to the cricket ball is limited to a few bowlers. The vast majority don't need these dirty tricks to swing the ball. And also, you have talked about long jump, triple jump.etc. What you forgot here is that the jumping pit remains the same for all the athletes and there is a great chance of the infection spreading from there.

Life is most riskiest thing because you can lost this any time any where without any resistance so its very long talk but right now as most of sports authorities doing hopefully they will bring some good and acceptable substances for players and entertainment because right now its need of time every one is frustrated and thinking how we will do this all in near future but be positive all will came and we will enjoy this all.

Any place where population is dense and if people stay very close to each other this virus would be spreading then be it whichever part of the world it becomes difficult to stop it. Prevention is better than cure that is the reason may countries have lock down so that people stay indoors and follow the rules. Cricket like other things are also effected during such time.

I am also feeling Cricket can make some better progress instead of other sports but this is not easy because measures are different for many countries and right now flight operations also cancelled so not easy to do this all but good thing we can play in our place very safely without any body contact.
