Branston Pickle 3,657 Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) Interesting to see the Aussies wearing a kit that wouldn’t look out of place on our guys at FCR next season! Edited May 25, 2019 by Branston Pickle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splendidrush 700 Posted May 25, 2019 Aussie normally wear a more gold than yellow shirt like our shirts in 03/04 and the green is much darker. Am I being picky? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,657 Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) Certainly Aussie kits are meant to be ‘green and gold’ but looks more canary yellow from that pic. All the kits seem to be tinges of retro this year, following our lead 😉 Edited May 25, 2019 by Branston Pickle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feedthewolf 4,846 Posted May 25, 2019 I see Mark Wood has gone off injured, which is a real worry. On the up side, though, Paul Collingwood has come on as sub fielder! 😂😂😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,657 Posted May 25, 2019 Not sure Wood will be in our first XI but we still don’t want the back-up injured....it’s too late for replacements isn’t it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
makham 81 Posted May 25, 2019 You can replace anyone because of injury at any point in the tournament, but the injured player can't then return later in the tournament. So it is like a permanent replacement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,657 Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) Ok - so Willey (will feel a bit messed about with but) will presumably come back in. As a Kent supporter I’m annoyed my side has no one in, but happy for Denly to get some form for the Ashes playing for his County Edited May 25, 2019 by Branston Pickle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,605 Posted May 30, 2019 Excellent performance and what a catch by Stokes as well. Felt like we could have scored a few more runs but the depth in our batting order is incredible. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted May 30, 2019 As long as we keep doing enough each time it won't matter. We only have to get one more run than the opposition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wooster 134 Posted May 30, 2019 By-the-by, I have a retro shirt that shows the bird on the club badge sitting on a twig. When did that become a football (as is the current vogue)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
