    ^ I remember a few classmates laughing about cricket until they were old enough to play. It separated the men from the boys in quick order.

    Yeah. Admittedly I'm just being a dick. I think sport is always a good thing. I don't trust any man who follows no sports.

    There is something about cricket though. The world busts the US's balls for baseball but the world also is pretty big into cricket. So it's a little hypocritical to bash the US for baseball

    Same as Ireland?

    Australia looked underdone and has lost the understanding of how to win.

    Smith run himself out for 1 ... WTF


    England had the smarts and a warm-up series against the Irish ... Australia had zip.

    Not making excuses for the Aussies, they lost and beaten by a better team.


    When is the next game?

    Is there an ODI series to follow?

    10.

    A superb pull for 6 that had Nasser Hussain purring, and a 4.

    Then he set off for an absolutely suicidal single and was run out by a direct hit when two yards out of his ground.

    Definitely a rush of blood.

    3 ODIs, all at Old Trafford, starting on Friday.

    Ian Bell is out for 90 for Warwickshire in his last first class innings.

    Good Knock!

    Aussies are Favourites @ $1.72

    Soap Dodgers @ $2.10

    World Rankings are still in play.

    My understanding is that if England win, they will go to the #1 spot.

    Malan will be a key wicket.

    Talented Batsman that one.


    Stark is erratic ... as usual!

    No Buttler... No Morgan.... England apparently don't care about this one, probably because they've already won the series.

    Morgan being rested in preparation for the ODI series. Copped a dislocated finger in the last game.


    Buttler ... had to look that one up

    Jos Buttler will miss England's final T20 international against Australia at The Ageas Bowl on Tuesday after being given permission to see his family.

    Plus Buttler isn't in the ODI Squad that I can see.

    Who is the English wicket-keeper in this T20 game and is he the keeper for the ODI series?

    Surely Australia can't fuck this up.

    And Archer looks fucking silly with the bling, FFS man.

    Aussies win by 5 wickets in a workman like, unconvincing win.

    Smith failed again.

    Australia rescued by a solid innings by Marsh.

    England's fielding was poor.

    ---

    IMHO, Man of the Match goes to Rasheed ... quality bowling by the English Spinner.

    I hope Marnus Labuschagne is in the Aussie's ODI Squad.
