The Ashes.

[only1billybonds]

Just been announced that Josh Hazlewood will miss the first test due to start in Perth next Friday. This is a big blow to the Australians as they will already be without their captain and no.1 pace bowler Pat Cummins.

Englands preparations for the tour has been questioned by many as they have opted to play no warm up games aside from a one off against the English lions. 

Many are saying that its crucial that we get of to a good start in Perth which basically means we cant afford to lose seeing as the 2nd test in Brisbane is a day/night game ( fucking ridiculous) where the Aussies are strongly fancied.

Looking forward to this now but really unsure of how it will play out, I guess I'd still make them slight favourites due to home advantage. Going to be a few all nighters in the coming weeks for me, let's hope it'll be worth it.

105 for 5 Baz ball doesn't work in T20, Its the mentality that's been bred into these batsman 

[Come On You Irons]

England are in danger of being bowled out by ITALY (Australia B).

Dismall stuff.

[Westham67]

Yeah Trump definitely wont be indorsing the USA cricket team

Just tuned into TMS for this one 67 for 3, Lets see how captain Brook does he is no Morgan

[violator]

Buttler out cheaply again, this time against the eyeties, would they dare to drop/rest him?

[Fauxstralian]

India have a better team but Pakistan just seem to have a mental block 
Beating them just means TOO much

[only1billybonds]

Pakistan in DISARRY at 13-3.

[Fauxstralian]

Trump will have a coronary if he reads the USA line up
At least there is one white face. A S African with the greatest name in the tournament
Shadley Claude van Schalkwyck

Pakistan claw India back from 126/2 after 14 to 175/7

[Westham67]

Nambia will be on a travel ban if they win this 

[Westham67]

India/Pakistan should be a bit livelylater on.  Watching the 'Yanks' v Nambia, looking through the 'American' teams line up provokes a raised eyebrow or two.
Bet the rednecks love it.

Trumps new country Nambia LOL

Easy for the Windies
On their day could challenge India & S Africa

India v Pakistan this afternoon
Always a friendly affair
 

[Westham67]

LOL early doors up too early

[Fauxstralian]

It’s Nepal batting
112/6 with 9 balls left

[Westham67]

Windies 83 for 6

[Westham67]

Windies 22 for 3 against Nepa.

[Come On You Irons]

England made that much harder work of that than it should have been but a win's and win and sets it up nicely for our showdown against ITALY (Australia B) on Monday.

Rapid start for the Saffas in their run chase against NZ. 31-0 off the first two overs.

[Westham67]

Missed the England v Sweaties   match , The Saffas v Kiwis should be good

[only1billybonds]

Porridge botherers bowled out for 152.

Shouldn't be a problem for England.

Should it?

[Come On You Irons]

England should chase this down easily.

[only1billybonds]

Scotland 18-2 after England won toss and chose to bowl.

[Westham67]

The USA done the Edam heads by 93 runs

[Fauxstralian]

Not sure the pitches are helping, not many typical big t20 scores
I see the two Italian brothers who knocked off Nepal with 60 each are from Sydney
First brothers to both score half centuries in a World Cup match
Couple of Manenti’s in there, I know one of them plays for S Australia 

T20 is a bit of a lottery at the best of times
Reckon it will be India or S Africa but any major team can have a couple of lucky days & win it

[Westham67]

England are in state beat Nepal by 4 runs and then Nepal get thrashed by Italy

Franchise T20 . The international teams don't have so many "Stars" in their teams for both batting and bowling and its showing in this world cup the way some of these players are playing  expecting team mates to save the day 

[Fauxstralian]

I’d presume he’d finally been picked but is still just a standby player if Marsh or someone else goes out
Bonkers

If Marsh recovers from his crushed TESTICULE can we push one of the pointless all rounders down the pavilion steps?

[only1billybonds]

I also found the Smith decision a strange one.
If Marsh hadn't picked up his injury, Smith would still be sitting at home.
