Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Would have been an entertaining day to attend a Scotland game!

That was dismal - YCCC lost 20 wickets for 225 runs. Ballance was the only batman (twice) to score higher than 18...

That whole match was low scoring. Anyone got the lowest county totals for four completed innings?

"England could field under-strength Ashes squad as ECB resist postponement" - Espncricinfo

That'll go well then. I guess money trumps good sense and the likelihood of a severe drubbing.

Thats not so unusual as in days gone by some players skipped tours to spend time with their families and so the strongest squad didnt always travel. Not sue if that happened for the Ashes though and may have been other series.

We also had the teams when players were not able to be selected due to their connections to South Africa

Could recall Chef for his bowling? He turned his arm over at The Oval yesterday.

Sorry, I laughed at an "under-strength Ashes squad". Isn't that what we've got already, even if everyone available turns up.

Thanks for the link 57.5. I got excited by 85 runs but the first 2 innings didn’t happen and the 4th innings only one wicket lost.

NZ tour of Pakistan called off at the last minute due to "security concerns". Very sad. I've always liked Pakistan (the team that is, I've never been there).
