    *Official* India v England 2nd Test Visakhapatnam Match Thread

    With over 3k posts already on the Tour Thread, it seemed logical to start a separate one for each Test. Please could a Mod sticky..... Got to be honest, this is a venue I've not really come across before, but I read that Dinesh Karthik suggested we could expect more turn here than the First...

    SA20 2024

    This thing starts today. A quick look at the squads and it looks like it's a slightly better quality of English players than in the BBL (Buttler, Malan, Dawson, Curran, Moeen, Topley, Roy, Rashid, Jacks, Livingstone etc) plus a few W Indians not in Australia (and of course Jimmy Neesham).

    What does your Test Team look like without T20 Players?

    With regards to SA selecting a Test Squad for NZ without all those signed up to the T20 franchise, I was wondering how other teams would cope in similar circumstances. England's bowling would largely be ok with Anderson, Robinson and Leach all available, but the batting is decimated. A return...

    BBC SPOTY 2023

    Sports Personality of the Year 2023 shortlist: Broad, Dettori, Earps, Hewett, Johnson-Thompson & McIlroy - BBC Sport What a weird shortlist. I'm not even sure Dettori properly qualifies. KJT or Earps for me.

    Rob Andrew

    Good news, England have appointed Rob Andrew as the new MD of Professional Cricket. When I say good news, I mean for Sussex fans for whom he's been an unmitigating disaster. How on earth has he got this job?

    Top 10 Teams in World Cup History

    Interesting article on the BBC, basically it's the 9 winners plus NZ in '95. Rugby World Cup 2023: Rank the top 10 teams in World Cup history - BBC Sport You could debate this for hours, but think my Top 3 would probably be: 1. NZ 2015 (A level of rugby I don't think any team has surpassed)...

    ***Official***Match #19 - Netherlands vs Sri Lanka - October 21st - Lucknow (Day)

    The two teams who came through the qualifiers and theoretically the weakest in the group. Can Sri Lanka pick up their first win? Probably only if they bowl a lot better than they have so far.

    ***Official***Match #20- England vs S Africa - October 21st - Wankhede (D/N)

    A match neither team can afford to lose, especially England. But who knows which of these teams will turn up? The first game in Mumbai so far no not sure how the pitch will play. Frankly, this looks a complete 50/50.

    Semi Finals

    New Zealand v Argentina on Friday. England v S Africa on Saturday. Can anyone see any chance of an upset in either game? Probably more chance in the first for me as Argentina have found a way to beat NZ a couple of times recently, but still looks pretty hopeless. If England keep SA to 20...

    *Official* Match #11 (D/N) - New Zealand vs Bangladesh - October 13th, Chennai

    Time to get this one up and running. Ought to be a straightforward win for the current table toppers, however if there was a pitch which would even things up a little, it's probably this one. Williamson returns, but who makes way? Chapman or Phillips seem to be the likely suggestions with...

    *Official* Match #10 — Australia Vs South Africa Oct 12th, Lucknow

    Can the Aussies afford to lose their first 2 matches? Certainly a tough start to the tournament. Sounds like the only selection question is Green or Stoinis (can't believe Carey is still getting picked). For SA it's whether they go the extra spinner for Coetzee. Highest score at this ground in...

    *Official* Match#7- England vs Bangladesh

    Dharamsala had to survive an outfield inspection yesterday for this match to go ahead after complaints from the Bangladesh/Afghan game. Weather forecast isn't exactly fantastic either, could be a shortened game although ought to be a result. Must win for England. Shakib/Mehidy took 6-55...

    Commentator Watch

    Yesterday saw most of the regulars trotted out for the opener, but think we may see some new faces over the next few weeks. He's done a fair bit on radio, but I like Dirk Nannes. Meanwhile, Bhogle does a stint on behalf of the Hyderabad Tourist Board!!

    Quarter Finals

    These look pretty much set in stone and will be played in the following order: Sat Oct 14th: Wales v Argentina Ireland v New Zealand Sun Oct 15th: England v Fiji France v S Africa Perhaps the only potential change to that would be if Japan beat Argentina, but doesn't look likely. At the...

    What's the worst ODI you've attended?

    For me, I'm going to nominate Australia v Pakistan 2001. Bought tickets for the Final of the Nat West Series, so firstly not great that it didn't include England. Pakistan then rolled over and Australia won easily. To make matters worse, it would be the last time the crowd would be allowed to...

    Spencer Johnson

    I think a lot of England fans got their first view of Spencer Johnson last night - fair to say he kicked off with a bang. For those that haven't followed The Hundred, he took 3-1 in his 20 balls (19 dots!!). So is he going to be a limited overs specialist or will his body hold up for Tests?

    Alex Hales Retires from International Cricket

    Had an outside chance of making the World Cup Squad, but obviously won't now. A T20 Winner, would've been an ODI World Cup Winner too if he hadn't pissed off Morgan. Some great innings along the way, the destruction of India (with Buttler) in the T20 semi one of his best.

    Aussie Spectators

    You know those groups who all sit together wearing the same shirts......I have questions: 1. How do you decide if you want to be in the Canary Yellow Tour or the ODI Green one? 2. How many shirts do you get given for each Test? Surely, it's more than 1. 3. Are Canary Yellows allowed to mix with...

    BazBall in the Ashes

    Thread to mark the odd things that are happening that you wouldn't see in a normal Ashes series. Day 1: Crawley smashes first ball for 4 Two stumpings on the opening day of the series (has that ever happened before?). Root reverse lapping for 6 The Declaration - Still can't get my head round...
