Umm I'm not happy, the women have been really consistent and this was a bit of a shocker. There's definitely stuff about watching this cricket which reminds you of cricket of an earlier age. Oh and Sarah Taylor is the best 'keeper in the country (both ***es) IMHO.

Being derogatory about sports because they don't have testicles is an odd thing for me. In fact pretty pathetic, people work hard to be the top of their sports something I will never manage to do, so fair play to them.

They're mentally weaker than England. You've got to hand it to them, that takes some doing. And we all know they'll do nothing about it. They'll happily return home to the only competition they excel at.

Wonder how they'll go down here this summer.

haha....so something finally gets to Dhoni. His post match conferences are so ****e
When asked if some of the players, handpicked as India's Test future, could maybe give up the IPL and work on their Test game, Dhoni shot back: "Don't be jealous of the IPL." It says a lot that a man who hardly ever says an emotional thing in press conferences, no matter how dire the circumstance, loses a bit of control of his emotion when a finger is pointed at the IPL.

Haha yeah. IPL will come and we will all go bonkers about some players regaining their form and some great young players arriving on the big stage.

Full comment was: "Ask the BCCI about it. And don't be jealous of the IPL."

Suggests to me that the players are forced to play the IPL no matter what.

Entirely possible. Something tells me that these test losses hurt the players but not the bcci at all.

I feel bloody sorry for their fans (those who aren't enablers with the whole pro-IPL thing), that there seems to be this toxic culture around the game at the top level for them. A team rolling up and not give a ****ing yelp is not good enough.

On Sky's verdict Shastri wasn't particulalry amused that the likes of Pujara and Kohli don't get an opportunity to play County Cricket.

Yeah, they really should. I don't think there's a single player who returned from a county stint and went "Well, that was a waste of time". I hope Pujara continues sucking at T20 so he gets let off by his franchise at some point.

CBF with googling fixtures, but will edit them in if someone wants to do the hard work for me.

EDIT: Here we go (courtsey of Howe)

Fixtures
1st ODI, Bristol: Monday 25th August, 10:30 BST

2nd ODI, Cardiff: Wednesday 27th August, 10:30 BST

3rd ODI, Trent Bridge: Saturday 30th August, 10:30 BST

All we know is India's sweeping this. Not quite sure why these matches are being played, to be brutally honest.


Much love,
