Gus Atkinson didn't get a wicket against my bros old club!
The club my son plays for. He has been in the 1s all season until yesterday. Typical!
Apparently from what i was told at the club last night Atkinson was not bowling at full tilt.
I was scoring this game. Our opener set a new club and league record for a batsman of 249.

Why? It’s a day night test. Wasn’t going to play. Although the Aussies have the opening batting pair and general batting to be concerned about.
Oh and Konstas finishes the series with 50 runs at 8.33, the lowest batting average for an Australian opener in a Test tour of the WI since 1984.

West Indies, chasing 204 to win the 3rd test against Australia are currently 0-3 off Mitchell Starc's first over.

12-6
Hazelwood spoiling things.....

Tragic for WI cricket
Very - one could argue the England v India has been the perfect poster for test cricket. The test in the WI is ruining the image. Pink ball tests should be completely scrapped. Mitchell Starc with a 15 ball five for is fastest ever for a five for in test cricket.

We have had some good pink ball tests, a couple in Brisbane.stand out with the West Indies winning the more recent one

My counter argument is that I don’t think we have ever seen a 5 day pink test (unless it’s been affected by weather).

Has there ever been a high scoring pink ball test? It always seems like carnage to me when they use it from memory?!

What a tipsy turvey test match.
Great last day.
I saw the BBC highlights
Enthralling stuff.

Strange series.

Not a single hundred across the three matches. Only one West Indian 50z

Surely can’t have happened before In a three match series.

The Indians needed a wicket and were looking for any advantage.

Surprised it took the third umpire that long to come to a decision.

India knew the rain was coming and we're trying to slow the game down at every opportunity.

Odd incident at Lords last night, as India appealed for an obstructing the field against Tammy Beaumont. Looks incredibly petty to me?

Indeed it was. They also went for a caught behind review which was obviously not out, just to try and use up some time in the hope that the rain would come again and they'd get out of the game with a 'no result' through not enough overs being bowled.

Let's not forget that it was the Indian women's team that also did a 'Mankad' against England to take their last wicket in a match a year or two ago, so it seems that they will resort to anything to win or not lose.

Hate to be a bit of a grump but none of those were real wickets. ☹️
Conversely you could say how impressive it is to see a 17 year old spinner bowl at the death in t20 cricket.

He has 33 first class wickets as well. But yeah let's sh*t all over the young lad hey.
