See the Aussies have brought their jumpers, very wise.

That is because they couldn't have the ODI's v Australia after last Ashes series in 2023 due to World Cup at end of year so they moved it to this Summer.

Re: English Cricket
This test score is getting silly now, Pakistan so desperate to make sure they didn’t lose prepared the biggest ‘shirt front’ of a wicket that I have ever seen. If England do force a win on this carpet it will be an amazing achievement.

Their heads have gone completely, Pakistan do the ‘total collapse’ even better than England.

How good does that make New Zealand’s recent hammering of India in India look.

Re: English Cricket
What is going on with Test cricket, New Zealand thrash India in India, India hammer Australia in Australia and now England off the back of an underwhelming tour of Pakistan are all over New Zealand in New Zealand?

Re: English Cricket
This pitch in New Zealand looks really weird to me. Has the whole of the outfield been dyed? Very noticeable from the aerial pictures, the square is very green compared to the outfield which has a darkish blue/green tinge to it.

Drop in wicket/square ? i.e grown elsewhere with different grass.

Re: English Cricket
Thankfully Brook and the bowlers have got them out of jail.
Now that is how you finish off an innings. Hat trick.
