they are all scottish anyway

Samuels is ****ing wierd

Sometimes he looks like a world beater, sometimes he looks completely inept

He really is a bizzaro player

Well done Windies, they just dont gaf about Test Cricket, T20 really is where the $$$ is and the money ****ing talks

Cant blame them really

They are ahead of the curve in this regard sadly

Hillarious

James Taylor has been forced to retire with a heart condition.

Damn I spent years advocating him being inserted into the England middle order, he finally gets in and this happens... Damn can't imagine how gutted you would be.

Wow at the James Taylor news. Still, better talking about an unexpected early retirement than an unexpected death. Wish him well with his recovery.

Short ball fenders around the world can rest easy.

Wow Donald to join Australia as bowling coach. Good buy!

Virat Kohli is unreal.

When Travis Head was blocking around, with them needing 14 an over I thought they'd fall short, but Kohli seldom misses the target when he's set and chasing.

It's a pity he's never actually played with a good bowling lineup that supports him both for club and country, but maybe that's whats helped mould him into a fantastic chaser.

RIP Tony Cozier

Passed away at 75, loved his voice I remember being extremely surprised he wasnt black when I first saw him

Gg, glad he got to see WI win the T20 world cup

He was very passionate about the windies and it really seemed to break his heart the teams struggles over the last years

Yes RIP Tony Cozier. I enjoyed reading most of his articles on ESPNCricinfo. Quite fitting and a good way to go seeing the West Indies on top of the world for the most version of a world cup for cricket with their T20 win.

AB + Kohli GOAT.

2 hundreds in a t20 innings.

Also cursory, lol Watto.

Kohli Gayle and AB in same team. How is that allowed lol.

Boycott has just accused a batsman (Nick Compton) of being too defensive for test matches.

Test matches are back, time for some good lolEngland

So far, lolEngland is delivering

The lolEngland is back in full force

The SL outfit is pretty pedestrian. Will have to wait for the one day matches for lols

Starting a May test match at Headingly on a Thursday is just stupid. A 2-2.5 day test match is always on the cards, even with rain interruptions.

These days test matches rarely seem to go into day 5 regardless of conditions. Like recent India/SA series.

Think only one of the tests from the latest Ashes series got to day 5 too.

It's not like it's impossible to bat on this pitch. England showed that. I don't have a problem with that aspect of the scheduling.

What bugs me about the scheduling for this summer is the lack of consideration for the North. Putting Headingley and Durham back to back at the start of the season is really stupid and irritating. Crowds will certainly be down because a) a day out at the cricket is more appealing when the weather is better and b) the catchment for Headingley and Durham overlaps and not many will go to both.

Would have made sense to host an early one in Durham and a later one in Headingley IMO. Headingley is now bigger than Trent Bridge and I'm sure tickets would sell pretty well at the height of summer.

Boy have I had a hard week. Really looking forward to putting my feet up and relaxing this evening and tomorrow watching some top class live cricket.

227 prob good enough to win by an innings, I expect a declaration anytime soon.

Odds Cook breaks Sachin's test record? IMO +275.
