The Ashes.

[only1billybonds]

Just been announced that Josh Hazlewood will miss the first test due to start in Perth next Friday. This is a big blow to the Australians as they will already be without their captain and no.1 pace bowler Pat Cummins.

Englands preparations for the tour has been questioned by many as they have opted to play no warm up games aside from a one off against the English lions. 

Many are saying that its crucial that we get of to a good start in Perth which basically means we cant afford to lose seeing as the 2nd test in Brisbane is a day/night game ( fucking ridiculous) where the Aussies are strongly fancied.

Looking forward to this now but really unsure of how it will play out, I guess I'd still make them slight favourites due to home advantage. Going to be a few all nighters in the coming weeks for me, let's hope it'll be worth it.

Smith & Alex Carey should have been two of the first picked
Had the Big Bash just before & ignored several form players 
Picked players past their sell by date .. Maxwell , Stoinis etc
and others who weren’t fit for months or when the tournament started
Hazlewood last played in November, missed the entire Ashes and was only replaced 2 days ago
Utterly bizarre
I know it’s only t20 but Bailey should be on his bike.
 

who cares?

India presumably will be lined up for a home semi final with the other finalist forced to play in Sri Lanka before going to India 
Reckon S Africa are a reasonable chance to spoil their party

I enjoyed the TMS commentary.
Australia's bowling attack is very threadbare.
Marcus Stoinis can't have opened the bowling very often and it went downhill from there.

[only1billybonds]

Game of the tournament so far, sounded like a right ol ding dong on the radio. Dream start given to Australia by Head and Marsh then they contrived to lose a game they had no real right to. Steve Smith made a brief appearance as a sub but the silly fucker forgot to bring the sandpaper from the dressing room.

[Fauxstralian]

Nowhere near enough 
SL win at a canter
Bit of a debacle at the selection table
Picked injured players , out of form players & has beens & never got going 
George Bailey as selector rightly will come under pressure 

[Fauxstralian]

Head & Marsh get off to a flier but the rest fall in a heap & Australia scrape to 181
Might be enough but maybe not
Smith left out for a bunch of batsmen who have done nothing 
Will have to win & smash Oman to get in on NRR

Brook "We have to be more brave with the bat" say the captain of a team who beat Nepal by 4 runs, I am looking forward the day this regime comes to end  

[Westham67]

England being called sloppy and Finn again deflecting the subject elsewhere 

[Westham67]

On TMS Henry alluded  to  Bazs casual attitude to coaching Finn fumbled around the accusations made during the Ashes series and backed out of making a comment

[Come On You Irons]

Surrey's Will Jacks saves the day for England with a superb unbeaten 53 from 22 balls to take England above 200.

[Fauxstralian]

Steve Smith finally added to the Australian squad replacing Hazlewood who hadn’t played since November!
No certainty for the must win game v Sri Lanka today as Mitchell Marsh’s testicle has reduced from the size of a basketball 
Been a bit a selection debacle & Australia are out if they don’t win today 

[Westham67]

105 for 5 Baz ball doesn't work in T20, Its the mentality that's been bred into these batsman 

[Come On You Irons]

England are in danger of being bowled out by ITALY (Australia B).

Dismall stuff.

[Westham67]

Yeah Trump definitely wont be indorsing the USA cricket team

Just tuned into TMS for this one 67 for 3, Lets see how captain Brook does he is no Morgan

[violator]

Buttler out cheaply again, this time against the eyeties, would they dare to drop/rest him?

[Fauxstralian]

India have a better team but Pakistan just seem to have a mental block 
Beating them just means TOO much

[only1billybonds]

Pakistan in DISARRY at 13-3.

[Fauxstralian]

Trump will have a coronary if he reads the USA line up
At least there is one white face. A S African with the greatest name in the tournament
Shadley Claude van Schalkwyck

Pakistan claw India back from 126/2 after 14 to 175/7

[Westham67]

Nambia will be on a travel ban if they win this 

[Westham67]

India/Pakistan should be a bit livelylater on.  Watching the 'Yanks' v Nambia, looking through the 'American' teams line up provokes a raised eyebrow or two.
Bet the rednecks love it.

Trumps new country Nambia LOL

Easy for the Windies
On their day could challenge India & S Africa

India v Pakistan this afternoon
Always a friendly affair
 

[Westham67]

LOL early doors up too early

[Fauxstralian]

It’s Nepal batting
112/6 with 9 balls left
