RIP Richie :(((((((

another good innings http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cricket/32376031

Not looking good for England is it

moores must go

expecting ShariVari encomium to J Blackwood come morning

looks like strauss has the DoC role so dont expect things to change or KP to get back now
more boring cricket and 5-0 to the Aussies to come.

o m g

Yeah, this is extraordinary. I suspect light will rob us of a result though.

30 off 12-ish

so close

great effort

Jos Buttler a century off 46 balls. Amazing stuff. If only he could do it in tests

...but who needs Buttler, when you have Stokes?

amazing

Bairstow is no slouch either. Cook/Compton give a nice balance to the team.

wtf 4 real @ Eng being able to bat.

can i just

So pleased.

SA are bobbins but that was magnificent yeah

it was incredible. So used to it being England it happens to.

WI into the final of the under-19 World Cup, beating Bangla. Springer looks very good from the bits and pieces i saw. It's a shame i had to work today otherwise i'd have gone to the match.

how are you in bangladesh now

anyway, WI have done alright in this tournament sure, whether through honourable or downright appalling means, but they're going to get plastered all over the wall by India

Hetmeyer clearly the big WI find, for mine

*Hetmyer, even

Not only in Bangladesh, i went past the Sher-e-Bangla stadium twice today.

Yes, India will steamroller them but some potentially decent talent coming through.

yeah it is enouraging - they have a crop of potentially decent players here. offsets the doom-mongering a bit

Well, well.

of coooooourse keemo paul hits the winning run, lol

Woo! That was a pleasant surprise.

I was on the plane back with the Pakistan squad yesterday. They all look so young, bless them, apart from Sameen Gul who is going to be a beast.

Anyone? No? KBP?

?

man with the highest batting average in Test history dies

looooool India

ok get your lols in here

lol oh dear

7 now. Still think England will win but great to see Afghanistan doing well.

hmm touch and go I would say, Afghanistan are no mugs with the bat, and half the total could be knocked off in 6 overs

Moeen might turn out to be the key bowler as well as the key batsman tbh

ah well

oh gosh we couldn't have let them win now could we

both finals should be eng-wi but our women choked

anyway, bring it on, SV

this WI T20 team feels like the culmination of Caribbean cricket over the last 20 years and legitimately one of the most fearsome limited-overs teams ever to have been

Following this on my phone. Wonderful win and should be a great final.

Doing this without Pollard or Narine is remarkable.

WI women do it! Had been getting dull watching Australia win every tournament due to the other teams choking. No longer, thank god

The fuck's up wi' this town? Nae cunt's showing the cricket, fucking football football football.

I was watching both in a Greenwich sports bar, just the cricket now tho. Wish I wasn't mind

yeah game over
