The Ashes.

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.

To be honest a country with over 1.3 BILLION people, that is shite at ALL other global sports and that runs and controls world cricket is naturally going to dominate cricket.
Cricket is going to get extremely boring as India gets ever more powerful.
Also, mods can we we name this 'The Cricket Thread' please?

Fuck knows, but. I do know England ain't chasing this down.
Will probably lose by at least 50 runs.

Could be a 230+ run chase here.
Start the car as Bumble used to say.
What's the highest ever run chase in this format at a World Cup?

I just got back from an appointment. We're getting smashed here.
Will probably be a 220 run chase. I doubt they have in them to chase down such a target.

Blimey, once again the Saffa's choke when it matters. Fair play to New Zealand, attacked the target with real GUSTO and intent.

I love it Sven LOL. . I hope England manage Butler and put him at 5 or 6 he's our white ball talismans and heads drop when he gets out and I feel sorry for him he seems like a sensitive Chappy
England have lost one game so far, to the West Indies.
I'm guessing they're not changing much at all.
That's been the problem all along under this regime they don't learn its too late, Playing Pope at three until we lost the Ashes and then dropped him
