    **Official** England in Bangladesh 2016

    Not so sure. Apart from the keeper having to step further away from his original spot, the more important issue is that he has no choice but to lose sight of the ball for a moment.

    **Official** England in Bangladesh 2016

    As a maiden Bangladesh victory over England shifts from a possibility to a probability, I can't help but wonder why not a few more of the millions of Chittagonians show up!

    **Official** England in Bangladesh 2016

    You're right. I wasn't sure though, as it's not too uncommon for Bangladesh to field very young players. Mushfiqur has been around for nearly as long as Batty.

    **Official** England in Bangladesh 2016

    I was just checking out some info on Gareth Batty. And, to my surprise, found out this is his 8th Test. Quite amazing to make a rentree a dozen years after his first stint! He is the first of this England team to play Test Cricket.

    He really looks like a kid with a fake beard!

    Yeah, apparently so, as lunch break commentator for Sky Sports.

    ***Official*** New Zealand in India 2016

    Have NZ ever won a series in India? Just wondering, bu I guess not. Good start so far, by what I consider the great underdogs here!

    *Official* Pakistan in England and Ireland 2016

    Decent lad he is!

    *Official* Pakistan in England and Ireland 2016

    It would be the polite thing to do for the English batsmen, to not make a seventh bowler have a go.

    *Official* Pakistan in England and Ireland 2016

    From a neutral perspective, this really is in the pocket for England, even if Moeen does something foolish.

    Your Cricket Season

    Me facing the first ball of our innings, during our last home match of the season. Proud to play at Holland's most beautiful ground!

    *Official* Australia in Sri Lanka 2016

    I can see what you mean. But how many times has it happened that a winning 4th innings was actually the biggest innings of a test?.

    *Official* Australia in Sri Lanka 2016

    Would be quite a thing if a record set during the first ever series would be broken!

    That's unfair to a recently dropped Pakistan opener.

    *Official* Australia in Sri Lanka 2016

    It really was a daft shot, rather than a brilliant Starc delivery. But maybe that's what being someones bunny is about: Karunaratne might not have played such a waffy push, a foot outside the off stump, if it wasn't in his head that Starc is bowling.

    TBF, I was really hoping for that hat-trick, no matter if it would have been really dodgy.

    *Official* Australia in Sri Lanka 2016

    Well said. In the end, the impact was just in line, and the ball was going on to hit the stumps.

    *Official* Australia in Sri Lanka 2016

    Which is important, because???

    *Official* Australia in Sri Lanka 2016

    I guess they got carried away by the momentum.

    *Official* Australia in Sri Lanka 2016

    Exactly what I was thinking. After an hours play, my nephews will claim me, so I really value this hour.
