Seems Disney has the tv rights to tests in India and are charging too much and as a result Sky and BT haven’t bought them. It might change, but at the moment not many people will be able to watch the series.

Is this a joke (and I say that as someone who already has access to the Disney channel with having 2 young daughter)?
 
Cricket Australia confirm Indian players suffered racial abuse.

What a sad day for the sport.

International cricket should be the pinnacle of what you’d call a gentleman’s sport.

Unlike football the rivalry should never cross the line of just having a laugh and hatred has no place in the game.

One thing I love about cricket is the appreciation for the opposition, clapping the best players, giving them a standing ovation when they score a century, being honest when you’re out and not cheating.

Australia both on the field and in the stands has been a disgrace in recent years and the ICC need to hammer them now. Matches behind closed doors and a big fine to Cricket Australia, that should be redistributed into Indian grass roots cricket.

Shameful.
 
Thoughts on the end of that BBL game, Scorchers vs Sixes!
Sixes require five runs from 28 deliveries with nine wickets in hand. James Vince is unbeaten on 98. His batting partner hits a four and his own home crowd start booing as they want Vince to get his century
The batsman, acknowledged the situation and then sees out the rest of the over with three dot balls
Sixes need a run to win, Vince needs two runs for his 100, the crowd is buzzing, the Sixes bench are smiling and laughing in anticipation, the bowler runs in and bowls a wide

The word anticlimax springs to mind. Think Vince was telling Hughes just to win the game. His teammates didn't seem too bothered apart from Henriques who was next in. Great innings either way
