Key occasions
England win the toss and bowl
And so they’ve solely gone and picked Rehan Ahmed!
If I’ll borrow a phrase from Michael Holding, tempo is tempo. And this can be a cracking piece from Jim Wallace on what it’s like when bowling 90mph+ looks like the best factor on the earth.
Preamble
It’s 23 October 2003 – no, actually, it’s! – and England’s inaugural Take a look at match towards Bangladesh is changing into a little bit of wrestle. After dominating the primary two days, they slip from 137 for 0 to 295 all out, with Marcus Trescothick thwacking 111 and Graham Thorpe* batting nearly 4 hours for a skilful 64. “A fairly sorry first-innings effort” is the decision of Dan Rookwood on the Guardian OBO.
Bangladesh completed the day on 12 for 1 of their second innings, a deficit of 80, and England hit the hay with a slippery fourth-innings chase on their thoughts. (Spoiler alert: England ultimately cantered to a goal of 164 inside 40 overs to win by seven wickets.)
On the identical day, a Bajan couple welcomed their first little one into the world. Graham and Giselle Bethell christened him Jacob Graham, and they are going to be among the many proudest individuals on earth in the present day when he captains England within the first T20 worldwide towards Malahide.
Feeling outdated? Don’t fear you might be. When Bethell was born, Sugababes had been prime of the hit parade with Gap within the Head, England had been a month away from profitable the lads’s rugby World Cup, Twenty20 cricket was barely 4 months outdated and no one was struggling dying by a thousand notifications.
At 21 years 329 days, Bethell will demolish the document for England’s youngest-ever captain, set unknowingly by Montague Bowden (23y 144d) in 1888-89. Scheduling a match in Malahide in mid-September comes with sure meteorological dangers, however the climate is okay and there’s no hazard of a washout. Eire’s purpose is flip Bethell’s huge day into a humid squib.
The match begins at 1.30pm
* For those who love Thorpey as a lot as the remainder of us, this interview with the good Don McRae earlier than that Bangladesh collection is an enchanting and poignant learn. I don’t know whether or not it wants a set off warning or not however, if it counts for something, I had a lump in my throat once I learn it
