Yeah, I don't understand why he feels the need to bid the departing batsman a fond farewell. Has he got Aussie blood in him?

He is a tosser,Sharma should let him know he is no longer captain and send him down to 3rd man or fine leg.In fairness Broad used to love the send off.

Oh yeah. Most countries have a player who likes dishing out the verbal. We're no different. The Kiwis seem a fairly decent bunch, mind.

Absolutely worth every penny,1st time for 10 yrs not been able to get
a ticket for finals day.
Its one of the best cricket days out.
Does not matter who is there.
Atmosphere is fantastic.Better still now its in July.Hopefully Lancs can do the business and win it.

Found it very anti-climatic in 2004 and 2007, so always swerved it after that if we are drawn first. In 2014 I got tickets for £35, and the Lancs allocation was £55, all the Bungles fans giving me abuse for singing through the final. Pitty 2015 clashed with the footy, if you are on at 11am and get beat, all you have to look forward to is the mascot race, and likely to have left before 9pm.

Back to business in the morning at Trafalgar Road, a half bottle of Jura in my coat it is too hot to wear.

Great innings by Malan. Might be in a dead rubber but still nicely done

Just cannot get in to t20. Appreciate the skills to constantly clobber it for boundaries but it gets dull for me.

Not sure why bowlers agree to play at Trent Bridge.

Weirdly the more T20 you watch, the more you'll get into the world class bowling spells.

Some of Archer's bowling spells for Rajasthan in the IPL last year were absolutely electric. When he only has to bowl 24 balls in a match, each ball is bowled with such intensity.

Same with the World T20 last year. Seeing Shaheen Afridi smash through the Indians top order was just a brilliant watch.
