Re: Cricket 2009
I don't know where England have found this form from.
Also, controversial by Strauss to not allow Smith a runner, but I'm glad he said no. Too many people have been allowed runners just because they're cramping (or fat - I'm looking at you here Arjuna Ranatunga), which I really don't think is a good enough excuse.

I dont know where eoin morgan found this form! Great start to the season but dipped heavily in the middle and towards the end.West Brit wrote:I don't know where England have found this form from.

As West Brit alluded to, you dont get a runner for being a fat, unfit b$&%@#d!

Absolutely, great guy. Thought he'd be around a good while longer, but the big C took him early.West Brit wrote:RIP David Sheppard. A true gentleman of the game.

Just not the same game without Dickie Bird and Shep at one end...

BBC Sport wrote: Alastair Cook hails Eoin Morgan's brilliant ODI century
Cook shared 40 with Morgan before his colleague finished the match in style
England captain Alastair Cook saluted Eoin Morgan's magnificent century which guided the tourists to a two-wicket series clinching win over Bangladesh.
"It got a bit close for our liking but Eoin came in with a fantastic knock and deserved to win the game," he said.
"He was calm under pressure and then dominated in the powerplay - it was a fantastic knock."
The final match is on Friday and Cook added: "We can't let our foot off the gas, we have to try to win 3-0."
Cook made the fastest fifty of the match, firing 60 from 61 balls on the day after he was left out of England's provisional 30-man squad for the forthcoming World Twenty20.
He chose not to dwell on his omission but said of his team's display: "There are always areas to improve but when you chase down 260 on a turning wicket you have to be pleased with yourselves."
Morgan, meanwhile, revealed he was unaware of the moment he reached three figures, due to a combination of subdued home supporters and technical deficiencies in the scorebox.
"I didn't actually know I'd reached a hundred, the scoreboard was a bit slow but I'll take it," he said.
"We stuck to our guns, the plan was to take it to the last over and use the short boundary and it worked well. We're delighted with the win.
"It's about sticking to your plan and knowing your areas, your strengths and being confident with them.
"Treddy (James Tredwell) wasn't nervous at all on his debut. He was very calm, got me on strike and I managed to take advantage."
Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan, who claimed his best figures against England with 3-32, said: "When they lost eight wickets we thought it was our best chance to pick up a win, but Morgan stood tall.
"I thought we batted really well but Morgan played really well according to his plan and full credit to him."

Re: Cricket 2009
Great innings by young Eoin. It was perfectly timed, even if I thought he'd waited too long before using the powerplay. Still, it was only against Bangladesh who are pretty dire so I don't see a test spot opening for him any time soon.

Re: Cricket 2009
I was reading the live text on BBC yesterday. He finished off with a six! Morgan is playing well at the moment in this format. I hope the security issues in the IPL don't deprive him of this chance to play in front of huge cricket mad crowdsWest Brit wrote:Great innings by young Eoin.
