Unstoppable England can Break New Records

It’s already been a stunning and record breaking season for England’s cricketers in all forms of the game. Against the Netherlands in June, the white ball team set a new milestone for the highest team score in ODIs.

 

Having reached 498 against the shell shocked Dutch, the only disappointment would have been the failure to breach the magical 500 mark for the first time in history.

And then we have the test team. Having won just one of their previous 17 games, the red ball side made it four from four after an incredible run chase against India at Edgbaston. Just how far can new coach Brendon McCullum take this side in all three formats?

 

White Ball Targets

 

While the test team reflects on a brilliant summer to date, attention will now switch to the shortest form of the game. 2022 sees the return of the T20 World Cup and England are among the favourites to claim a trophy which they last won in 2010.

According to the sports betting sites affiliated with Asiabet, Australia lead the outright World Cup winner market by a small margin while England and India are the joint second favourites. Other teams expected to make a challenge when the competition returns to Australia include Pakistan, West Indies, South Africa and New Zealand.

There are many T20 series to be played across the world in the coming weeks and those odds are subject to change. If there are any updates, these will be reflected on the website and readers can access the new figures.

It’s a logical site to follow during the T20 World Cup but England’s cricketers have other aims beyond the shortest format of the game.

 

Australia in Sight

 

The desire for test skipper Ben Stokes and the rest of his team is to reclaim the Ashes. The next Ashes series will take place in 2023 when Australia visit for a five-match encounter.

The majority of the team currently breaking records in the test arena will still be available when the Ashes begins and they will all be desperate to retain their place in the side.

Before that, England’s red ball unit will welcome South Africa later in the summer. Three test matches will be played at the end of a set of limited overs fixtures.

England will want to extend their positive run and, if possible, skipper Ben Stokes will want to win all of their remaining three games in 2022. That would lead to a historic, unbeaten summer as the team continues to smash records in the test arena.

 

Records Tumble

 

The list of records set by England has been a remarkable one. That successful run chase against India at Edgbaston was the highest by this team in the history of the game.

It was also the first time that any side has successfully chased down targets of 275+ on four consecutive occasions. Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow were the first pair of undefeated centurions who remained together at the end of a test match run chase.

It’s been a remarkable period for England’s cricketers in test cricket and in those One Day International matches in the Netherlands. Records have tumbled as the team continues to reinvent the game.

That positive approach to limited overs cricket has been transferred to the test team and England will not be worried about chasing down fourth innings targets of any size.

South Africa are next before Australia will provide a stiffer test in 2023. There are tough challenges ahead, but it will be fascinating to see just how far this England team can go.
