Re: English Cricket
Given the fact that the other four batsmen above him in the all time test runs list are middle order batsmen and so never had to face the new ball in every single innings, highlights Cooks class.

Ben Stokes and Alex Hales have been charged with bringing the game into disrepute by the England and Wales Cricket Board following an incident outside a Bristol nightclub.

Think the ECB should let this go now. He's been found Not Guilty of anything criminal and missing the Ashes was punishment enough

Re: English Cricket
Notice there are some 'obscure' cricket matches on obscure channels coming up:
Paktia Panthers v Kandahar Knights FREESPORTS 12:45pm Aghanistani 20/20 - not being played in Afghanistan for some reason ....
Barbados v USA BT SPORTS ESPN 7pm 50 over match - the whole of the US will be gripped by that one !
oh and Sri Lanka v England SKY SPORTS 5:30am tomorrow -probably give that one a miss, there are limits

Re: English Cricket

Looks like D/L/S will win this one for England though.

Re: English Cricket
Actually watching the ground staff running on, trying to cover the whole playing area with those huge sheets in the howling winds and monsoon rains is quite good fun.
