Oman also beat Ireland earlier in the tournament. They would have been close to pre-tournament favourites too, so a big fall.

I can think of another reason England was able to come back in that series and it involves a cricket ball and Pigeon's ankle

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Some good replies to the original tweet, and some other comments, about England‘s arrogant insistence that no one played entertaining, positive test cricket until they invented it.

As long as he didn't get it stuck in there like Tony did. Didn't he lose the key once?

Strange that Wisden, the bible of cricket, apparently needed Brendan McCullum to become a coach to discover the phenomenon known to the rest of us as late order hitting.

Also, to apply a little 'reverse' psychology to the argument that Australia played like England with victory close, it might be said that Bazball fell apart as defeat loomed, with Ben Stokes following Mike Brearley to line the boundary.

Fascinating.

The commentary was pretty much saying that Stokes captaincy was bordering on genius.

women's sole ashes test on now too

women's sole ashes test on now too

Why just one?

 

[Sillygit]

Why just one?

they play a series that consistes of one test, 3 ODIs and 3 T20s, with some system of working out points value for each win

i guess it's cause the women's game is so massively focused on short form. Think the commentary is saying that this test going for 5 days is incredibly rare in of itself as it usually is 4 day.

seems the women have the same fielding coach as the men then
