Cricket Thread

Is anybody using the Lancashire cricket app for their tickets ? Mine are showing in the ‘transfered’tab but not in the ‘my tickets’ tab ?
 
Can someone explain why England have announced their team with 3 days to go before the test and Australia have not announced theirs. Surely as with all sports (i think) the teams should be announced at the same time.

In football it's a deadline to hand in the line-ups to the officials - the actual make-up of the team can be announced in advance if they choose. In cricket IIRC the deadline to finalise the starting XIs is before the toss takes place.
 
Yes totally get that, but it would be very unusual for a any team to name their line up days before the opposition, although I understand they can choose to do so. Football an hour before kick off is the deadline and as you say in cricket prior to the toss taking place.
Just don1t understand the reason for announcing your line up days before the match, I suppose you could use it as a ploy but that`s just not cricket.

They’ve done it all series
 
Looking at how England women are batting it looks like the last ODI may well cost us the ashes. Fine margins -

26 off the last over for Australia, we lost by 3

Putting Glenn in before Cross at number 9

The silly English woman who missed a wide and an extra ball by telling the umpire she had gloved it - I am sure an Australian would have done the same thing! (not)

Edit - English batter woman person just run out by great throw from Australian sun fielder who’d been on the pitch less than an over - just a smile and no animosity from the English batter person, just like Ricky Ponting in 2005

The Aussie team picks itself to be fair:

Cheating Convict ****
Cheating Convict ****
Cheating Convict ****
Cheating Convict ****
Cheating Convict ****
Cheating Convict ****
Cheating Convict ****
Cheating Convict ****
