TDK's International Test Cricket Update's

[Rik E Boy]

Stokes is a gun and in this day and age is not overrated IMO, Australia would kill for a cricketer like him and hopefully we have found a cricketer like him in Cameron Green. I agree that he shouldn't be compared to Botham, that is laughable but geez he's good and someone you have to enjoy watching.

Reckon Green will have Stokes covered easily by the end of their careers. England have just appointed Michael
Slater as their captain. As the late Shane Warne once famously said 'tick...tick....tick...'

Kent's Nathan Gilchrist has now been dismissed for six consecutive ducks, including three pairs and three golden ducks.

He's equalled the record for the most ducks in consecutive innings in men's first-class cricket.

That has to be more than just out of form and be a complete case of the yips.

I mean at that level to not be able to get past one ball three times in six innings is crazy.

Luckily for Nathan Gilchrist his job in the team is not to bat but bowl!

[Armchair expert]

Ajit would be proud
he could only muster 5 in a row

Having a Kent of a time with the bat.

Brendon McCullum to coach England

Not announced as the coach as yet? All the media I've read today is that he is the favourite to take the position.

Lets all hope this IPL crap ends very soon and some international cricket can return

The England v New Zealand test series starts at Lords on June 2nd, I'm really looking forward to it.

Bangladesh v Sri Lanka play a two test series very soon, the first test starts on the 15th of May.

I had a bit of inside knowledge from someone who is a good mate of McCullum

Looking at that pic, he might need to change his stance.

England have also named their squad for the first two tests of the series against NZ.

Ben Stokes (c), Alex Lees, Zak Crawley, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Harry Brook, Ben Foakes, Craig Overton, Stuart Broad, James Anderson, Jack Leach, Matthew Potts.

Anderson and Broad recalled,
Batsman Brook and fast bowler Potts are in the England squad for the first time,
No room in the squad for Dan Lawrence, Rory Burns, Dom Sibley, Haseeb Hameed, Dawid Malan and Ollie Robinson who has struggled with injury and illness at the start of the County season.

Fast bowlers Chris Woakes, Saqib Mahmood, Sam Curran, Jofra Archer, Mark Wood, Matt Fisher and Olly Stone are all injured.

Leach retains his spot as the sole spinner ahead of Matt Parkinson who has been a consistent wicket taker for Lancashire. It’s unbelievable he still can't get an opportunity ahead of Leach.

NZ should be at full strength for the series.

Meanwhile Bangladesh are 8/465 in response to Sri Lanka's 397 on day 4 of their first test.

Batting collapse of sorts by the Lankans in their 2nd dig on day 5

Currently 5/147, Matthews who scored 199 in the 1st dig out for a duck

Lankans lead by only 79

Sri Lanka got to 6/260 and the match ended in a draw which seemed inevitable after two big and long first innings from both teams.
