AU 3/305 all out 310
Pakastani cult hero Sarfraz Nawaz took 7/1 on his way to 9/96

Melbourne 1988 AU v WI
AU 9/114 all out for 114

The first test of the India v England series starts Thursday, can't bloody wait to see how the series goes, absolutely hate them both but it'll be a fascinating series.

Yesterday Harry Brook pulled out of the whole series because of personal reasons, Dan Lawrence was named as his replacement.

It actually sort of solves their selection conundrum with Pope likely to now bat 3, Bairstow 5 and Foakes will keep.

And now Kolhi has pulled out of the first two Tests for personal reasons aswell.

Uncapped English spinner Shoaib Bashir is having Visa issues and has not arrived with the rest of the England squad from the UAE. His parents are of Pakistani heritage, coincidence hmmmmm.

I may not watch it. For personal reasons.

Surprise surprise, Hindustan has pulled this one again.

Any other team would cop a suspension from international cricket.

England have named their 11 for the first test-
Crawley
Duckett
Pope
Root
Bairstow
Stokes
Foakes
Ahmed
Hartley (debut, left arm spinner)
Wood
Leach

Poms are dead set on here, have Leach in the side

Ben Stokes wins the toss and England will bat first.

Watching this game, I don’t want either to win.


C’mon the umpires!

Pitch was as expected made for the spinners.

England looked good when playing shots and going Bazball. When they sit and prod and try and work the ball they look in trouble.
