TDK's International Test Cricket Update's

[The Dark Knight]

Sri Lanka have been so disappointing so far in this series, thought it would have been a lot closer

Bowling hasnt been all that flash, the pace bowlers just seem content in bowling short balls all the time.

Reckon Root has scored over 90% of his runs this test on the leg side

Yep and I think we sort of knew they would find it tough going with their pace bowlers, it's their batting that's been especially disappointing for me, they've got some very good players that just haven't had an impact. Kamindu Mendis has been the lone shining light.

[The Dark Knight]

England win the second test easily enough by 190 runs, Atkinson with a 5 fa in SL's second innings of 292 to go with his hundred.

The Pakistan v Bangladesh second test has an interesting scorecard. Pakistan made 274 in their first innings and in reply Bangladesh were in all sorts at 6/26 before Das (138) and Miraz (78) put on 165 to help get Bangladesh to 262. Pakistan is 2/9 in their second innings.

Dizzy about to be sacked

Bangas 10 wickets in the shed requiring 147 more for victory!

Pakistan is kind of the international version of the Redbacks, teasing their supporters and continually snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, Dizzy with the Redbacks virus and Pakistan are a match made in hell!

Yep reckon Dizzy is in more strife than Port in a Prelim final, looks like they are going to lose this test as well

Bangers need 62 with 8 in hand

Dizzy might be home for Xmas turkey one thinks

[Brodlach]

Bangers win by 6 wickets

At one point in the first innings they were 6/20

We're currently on track for the Final despite that silly loss to the Windies. However if we don't get a good result against India, might be tricky - not sure if we're playing any other test series before the Final.

Away series against Sri Lanka early next year, probably a 2 test series.

3rd Test between England and Sri Lanka starts tonight from 7.30pm on Fox or Kayo

Doubt the footy will be as boring as last night so this might sit on the backburner

Yeah I probably won't watch much either.
Left arm pacer Josh Hull on debut for England, an out and out potential pick.

I googled "cricinfo Josh Hull" clicked the first result and had to double check I had the right guy

FC record 10 matches 16 wickets @ 62.75


I can't see the Aussie selectors doing something like this

Poms have an All Roads Lead to Australia attitude for the next 12 months. They will be trying everything to unearth players to trouble us.

Root will have to turn into 2019 Ashes Steve Smith for them to have a sniff

Yep, obviously looking for a left arm bowling option. They also have Jordan Cox from Essex in their squad at the moment who has made plenty of runs in County Cricket recently.

First session England batting and motoring at 1/76 and then presto, lets go off for bad light.

BAD LIGHT first session of the test FFS

[The Dark Knight]

England currently 8/307
Pope just out for 154 (156)
Duckett 86 (79) Out playing a pretty shit paddle shot
Dhananjaya 2/11
V Fernando 2/43

[batmanbegins]

Hull has Got 3fa. You can see why they picked him with the obvious talent and the fact he brings something different. Key is really going by what he sees rather then statistics of county cricket, as let's be honest alot of good county cricketers (mainly bowlers) are just not up to test cricket. Hull won't play here anyway, we will have Atkinson, Wood, Potts, Stone, Archer, Pennington and Woakes ahead of him. I'd say they bring Woakes to Australia simply to play him in Adelaide.

[jackpot jim]

England stinking it up BIG time in their 2nd innings currently 7/84 for a lead of only 146
Sri Lanka now odds on with the bookies
