New Zealand for me has the best bowlers in the competition! I'll judge South Africa against a decent team!

Didn’t say I think they’ll win it, I was talking about the sensible way they want about compiling a big score. A lot more mature than Englands approach.

England fucked up in the first 2 tests big time, like it or not or shoulda woulda coulda the results said 2.0
I am a realist and say what I see and the ashes were over as a contest, England was never going to win 3 on the bounce because of the weather, All the Aussies had to do was slow the game down and wait,

The 4th test in Manchester was doomed to the weather and over for England with them retaining the ashes

Lol

One of life’s little pleasures :-) thank you both.

Australia are poor but think the Indian and New Zealand have the best bowling attack!

Watching the Bangladesh Afghanistan game, the outfield is in a shocking state, I can see there being injuries in the field, it's like a cabbage patch

England now playing Bangladesh on the same ground, and apparently there's been a storm overnight too...

A good start from England 199/1 after 32 overs.
Malan just reached his 100

Malan is class. The fact that his place in the team seems to be permanently questioned is ridiculous.

Much better pace and control about us today. Glad we’ve had to set a score again.

Best chance Bangladesh had was to bat first get 280+ then get early wickets when they bowl! More pressure batting second knowing you have to win as well..

Excellent knock from Malan, completely justifying his selection in the side - which he has to do almost every time he plays. I personally was questioning his selection, happy to admit I clearly don't know what I'm talking about! He's a lovely player to watch when on form, rotating the strike and putting the bad balls away. A wonderful century for him and a brilliant platform for our big hitters.
