    ***Official*** County Cricket 2019

    Interest seems to be more with Sibley, Crawley, Pope and Malan but none of the names you mention have been forgotten if they finish strong (except perhaps Vince). Moeen Ali another one worth keeping an eye on.

    ***Official*** County Cricket 2019

    You also get the feeling that runs in the last three rounds of the Championship will decide who is on the plane to New Zealand in November.

    Rank Australia's opening batsman options

    This is my ranking of Australia's Test opening batsmen of the last two years: 1. Warner 2. Burns 3. Harris 4. Khawaja 5. Bancroft 6. Renshaw 7. Finch Change my mind.

    Name A Cricketer (Ex or Current) You Can't Bear To Watch or Hear

    *Official* Australia A in England 2019

    Paine to give up the captaincy after losing The Ashes and not scoring enough runs to justify his place. Cricket Australia to lift the captaincy ban they imposed on Smith because he's been a good boy since. Smudger to lead Australia out in Brisbane with Josh Hazlewood as VC and Alex Carey on...

    **Official** Ireland in England 2019

    Possibly underestimating the workload of wicketkeeper-batsmen. They tend to train longer and harder than most.

    **Official** Ireland in England 2019

    Top 8 looks like: 1. Burns 2. Roy 3. Denly 4. Root * 5. Bairstow + 6. Ali 7. Woakes 8. Curran Not sure about the bowlers, but I think Leach will play considering there will be four quicks. Unsure if Jimmy will be fit too.

    Final - England v New Zealand

    Roy should have been banned for just being a knob. Why put your final in jeopardy when England are cruising to victory chasing a low total? Batshit crazy stuff.

    Players you don't want to see in your side's XI

    Marnus Labuschagne. Div 2 county runs are okay - but needs to bang the door down for Queensland for at least two seasons before he gets another berth. Not fit to tie Kurtis Patterson's shoelaces.

    **Official** Ireland in England 2019

    Only Test: Ireland v England at Lord's, 24-27 July 2019. Ireland squad William Porterfield (capt), Mark Adair, Andrew Balbirnie, Andrew McBrine, James McCollum, Tim Murtagh, Kevin O'Brien, Boyd Rankin, Simi Singh, Paul Stirling, Stuart Thompson, Lorcan Tucker, Gary Wilson (wk), Craig Young...

    The disappointment of the 2019 Cricket World Cup being a 10 team World Cup

    I'm genuinely conflicted about this because I understand how important these tournaments are for associate nations. It undoubtedly helps them to grow the game, which is certainly good thing. On the other hand, this World Cup has been fantastic with few guaranteed wins against minnows. I was...

    World Cupe Medals Tally

    I had genuinely forgotten about this. Have checked it, and they qualified by beating Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe and Bangladesh with a walkover against NZ. They had a World Cup, but it's hardly enough to make a semi-final. This current format is so much better.

    Final - England v New Zealand

    I'm happy with either result, to be honest. New Zealand are the least offensive country in the tournament if we were to judge each side on the personality of their citizens and the public policy of their government. But I don't go out of my way to watch them play. On the other hand, I love...

    2nd Semi Final - Australia v England

    My fantasy is for Matty Wade to be given the ball in a World Cup semi-final and to make up some overs in the absence of a typical all-rounder. Just because the rest of the cricketing world would be so bewildered. Unfortunately it looks like Stoinis might play.

    2nd Semi Final - Australia v England

    He who wins the toss controls the game.

    37th Match - New Zealand v Australia

    Was a great day at Lord’s. Smudger being brought on to bowl leggies to De Grandhomme and then bowling off-breaks for the rest of the over once he had dismissed him was a thing of beauty.

    World Cup Betting

    Had a good couple of days on the futures markets. Invested in both Australia and India as group stage winners - which has already come through for me as a tidy win regardless of which of the two finish on top. Jumped on Starc for most wickets in the tournament at 1.73 after he took his second...

    World Cup Bracket Challenge

    And Australia can still play Bangladesh or Pakistan if Bangladesh can beat India. Australia could also play India, with NZ finishing top of the group, but that relies on a number of unlikely outcomes including Sri Lanka beating India. So my final thoughts are: Australia will probably play NZ...

    World Cup Bracket Challenge

    Scrap that, I have found one that results in Australia v England: Australian d. NZ England d. India India d. Bangladesh England d. NZ RSA d. Australia

    World Cup Bracket Challenge

    Every possible permutation leads to an Australia v NZ semi-final when I do it.
