The International Cricket Thread

[Meanwood Villa]

Yesterday was disappointing but both tests we've lost this series we've been in them. This is probably the best Indian team in history and they haven't dominated us. In fact, rain permitting, I fancy us to bounce back next test.

Not a chance we'll win in Australia mind, but that's a once in a generation thing at the best of times.

Pretty obvious what needs to be done. Get rid of the County Championship and add a few more tournaments that will interest people who don't really like cricket. Suggestions for name: "The Fifty", "The Ten", "The One", "The Coin Toss".

Forecast for Manchester looks a bit damp

Made me laugh - thanks!

Another positive test in the India camp. Players confined to hotel rooms.

Tymal Mills in the T20 World Cup squad. Good to see

Best Indian team in history? Really? I think the team with Tendulkar, Ganguly, Laxman, Dravid and Sehwag was far stronger, plus they had Kumble....

Probably the best Indian team for non-sub continent conditions, as victory in Aus and, as is looking likely, victory in England shows

The 5th test has been called off due to Covid in the Indian squad/backroom staff.

Thought their players all took pcr's yesterday and they were negative?

Seems to me the marginalisation of Test cricket continues, as IPL looms on the horizon.

Well yes

I'm sure India would have insisted on this even if they had been losing the series.

No Tests next summer between the end of June and mid-August (Zaltzman, A).

Oh, And Yorkshire have released their report this morning.

Good day to bury bad news etc
