Re: Cricket
Looking at this test series, was it a case of England improved a lot to beat Australia or a case of Australia not being the powerhouse they once were?

Re: Cricket
Home advantage is increasingly a even bigger factor in test cricket then it used to be and that certainly helped England as they could prepare pitches that suited them but alas when teams go away from home then they have to expect the same treatment with regards to the pitches being prepared for the home side.

Re: Cricket
Looking so good at close of play yesterday , now England look like snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Yes he certainly was a great and l also enjoyed his dulcet tones when he was a pundit when cricket was on the BBC all those years ago.

Re: Cricket
Well, after getting hammered in the first ODI England have come back strongly and look poised to take the series 3-1. Buttler hits ODI record 100.

Ian Botham would have been proud of Buttler's knock.

Re: Cricket
Shaky start by England in the Test Match today. No way is Hales good enough to open, should have been Compton. Just as well for the rain, with Anderson injured I'd take a draw now.
Sack Cook too, he's rubbish at tosses.....

Re: Cricket
Do love a last wicket stand, but only if we're batting ! Disappointing morning but at 301-9 a reasonable score.

Tactical genius Cook, always said so !
Steyn injured and Anderson back next Test. All looking good to beat the supposed no.1 side in the World on their own turf.
