They’ll struggle in the WACA and in the day/night game. However Australian batting lineup is brittle enough outside of Smith/Marnus. Will be decided on who has the fewest batting collapses.
England’s only fit bowler fast enough isn’t tall enough.
Let’s hope so. A great feeling to wake on a winter morning and see the convicts 300/3.
England can’t bat to save their lives. They’ll be out for less than a hundred a couple of times.
Australia is a place where an in form batsman can score a mountain of runs. It’s obviously imperative for England that Joe Root is scoring big. A big plus for England as well having Ben Stokes back if he stays fit.
A 9 over 10th wicket stand sees New Zealand salvage a draw and India fall one wicket short of victory in the first test in Kanpur.
Ajaz Patel took all 10 wickets in the first innings vs India.
First bowler to take the first 10 wickets in a test match
Only the third time ever a bowler has taken all ten wickets.
Jim Laker and Anil Kumble the other two.
In the test match itself, New Zealand getting a right hiding. All out for 62.
Boxing Day action about to get under way at Centurion as the best side in the world, India attempt to win their first ever series in South Africa.
That’s a fairly callow and inexperienced looking South Africa team.
South Africa the cunts caved to 191 all out before I got up out of the bed. That’s my plans for the mornings viewing ruined.
Once they lost Dean Elgar, it was all over really.
It’s lovely watching test cricket in SA in the depths of winter. It’s lovely weather and lovely scenery.
Aside from India, New Zealand and Australia, test cricket is at a low ebb. Pyjama cricket rules the roost.
It’s dead only to wash it
Boxing Day test should be in Durban. Not right having it at Centurion.
Death of a Gentleman on Netflix is excellent.
Full of caricatures, especially brexity types.
