It may well be. But I have absolutely no interest in that monstrosity. Its utter sh*te. There is no connection to any team as they are just a soleless franchise playing a bastardised version of the game which is more about entertainment then sport.
It's cricket for people who don't like cricket

Blimey! Did they have a recount before confirming it?

See Stokes is giving his match fees to the Pakistan disaster relief fund. Nice touch?

Surrey's Jacks being hyped on BBC website and in a couple of papers too. Seems as if he will be given a game in Pakistan.
General Cricket Thread
He deserves it if he does get a go. Was fantastic for Surrey last season in all formats of the game. His aggressive approach will be perfect for McCullum's England.

Don't understand that.It's List A, not First Class. Doesn't count
List A cricket - Wikipedia

Sobers and Shastri hit 6 6s in First Class cricket. The rest in List A/T20.

But T20 games and most other limited over games are never classified as First Class. For example, Yuvraj Singh hitting Stuart Broad for 6 6s was List A too. It doesn't really stack up that 6s in a limited over game don't count. - it's just a stats thing surely.

I wasn't being entirely serious...
Interesting to read that we started off with 65 over innings in One Day matches however. Matches must have started at 5:30am in those days

They didn't, over rates were something unimaginable like 20 overs per hour. The ball didn't go out of the ground much either and as for asking for drinks, changes of gloves etc, umpires wouldn't have it.

There isn't one planned as far as I can see. England go there for an ODI and T20 series in 2026.

Seem to have a couple more T20 games at Lord's, rather than in another County, but from a quick glance, only one at the Weekend.

Still completely unacceptable. 90% of families can't afford those prices, and then they wonder why Test Cricket is losing popularity.

Don't disagree. I just thought 150 would be the minimum and had braced myself for 180 etc. I've heard 160 is the minimum at Lords.

Looked but no prices for Australia as appears to be sold out
But is 95 quid to watch the Ireland Test !!

Cheating git and if what he said was true then name and shame as if senior people in Australia Cricket were suggesting that cheating was ok then it says a lot about their morals

Ishan Kishan hits the fastest ever double hundred in a ODI - a mere 126 balls ?

He got out in the 36th over, if he'd batted the full 50 overs he probably would have had a triple century!

I once played for a school team that got bowled out for 10. I went in 5 and was 0 not out without facing a ball.

Interesting start to the third days play between Australia and South Africa.
Yesterday was definitely the batsman's day, with Warner retiring hurt on 200, but the SA bowlers have been all over OZ this morning with Nortje on a hat-trick, after dismissing the returning Warner first ball.
Aus starting to hit out, as they may be a couple of bowlers light, through hand injuries.
420-6 with a lead of 231.

South Africa actually had a decent record in Australia but this line up batting wise is as weak as I can remember. A shame as their bowling attack is decent.
Do worry for test cricket in general only 3 teams look good and the rest are in a sorry state.
