Thread: Cricket scores around the world

I'd be surprised if the Windies add 40. It would have to be some collapse.

nigh on impossible for WI to turn this around

Cricket is a beautiful game, especially when you're no.1...

To be fair to the WIndies, they've played well in sessions, and when they mature might become a good team.

Well they've added 45 without loss, don't look too troubled at all. Not a bad run rate either (86 balls).

Yep, not fantastic thusfar, but plenty of time to go - he said...

A lead of 150 and things could get tough for England...

for 7...

into the tail now.

Sammy's gone, Bresnan LBW, survived the review, umpires call stands - 100/7, 52 ahead.

Roach gone, 139-8, lead of 81. Umpire gave not out, England's review in no doubt. Overturned.

Samuels got his fifty.

England need 108 to win...not much doubt they will make it in short order.

WI almost made a game of it...

39 to win, it's a cakewalk really. I wonder if they'll give the likes of Finn a run out in the last one? Be nice to give them some practice ahead of the big one.

Piece of piss.

Michael Vaughan, BBC Test Match Special


"In the 80s when Viv's team used to hammer England, West Indies had better players than England, now England have better players than West Indies, who only seem to have five players. The top four's techniques don't look quite ready for Test cricket. I don't think England have got out of third gear, I don't think they have been stretched that much. I always think at the end of a Test match how many West Indies players would get into the England side? I'd say probably none

Seventh straight series win at home bring on the yarpies. Got tickets for days 3,4 & 5 at the Oval.

England are a team to beat...and be proud losing to...

I think Chanderpaul might get the nod over Bell.

Gayle should be playing

Australia's one-day tour of England under threat, claim reports




Australia's cricketers could boycott the one-day tour of England this summer, according to a report in The Australian newspaper.

Australian Cricketers Association' head Paul Marsh said there was the possibility of industrial action over performance-related pay issues.

They are due to face England in five one-day internationals, with the first at Lord's on 29 June.
Australia in England 2012

17 June: Arrive in England
21 June: v Leicestershire
(23 June: ODI v Ireland in Belfast)
26 June: v Essex
29 June: ODI v England (Lord's)
1 July: ODI v England (The Oval)
4 July: ODI v England (Edgbaston)
7 July: ODI v England (Chester-le-Street)
10 July: ODI v England (Old Trafford)



Marsh said: "We're looking at all options."

The Oval, Edgbaston, Chester-le-Street and Old Trafford are also scheduled to host one-day internationals in July, while Australia's schedule includes limited-overs games against Leicestershire and Essex.

In addition, the tourists are expected to face Ireland in Belfast on 23 June.

Australia's players and governing body Cricket Australia were talking about moving to performance-related pay but complications have arisen in the negotiations.

Marsh said there were contingency plans should a resolution not be agreed with Cricket Australia before 1 July
