Cricket season

Hope England win then Ireland will be de facto World champions under the 1967 Scotland 3 England 2 precedent.

That'll be world champions in rugby AND cricket

AND holders of the Home Nations football trophy since 1984.

This says that the IPL is now the second most valuable media contract in the world. As it was written in June, IPL could even be the most expensive by now!

Interesting new role for the Humph by the looks of it. Would be following the likes of Rob Andrew and Pat Howard as former international rugby players getting into cricket administration.

Saw him at Stormont last summer.

Clearly not a DUP supporter then

Jimmy Anderson tops the world test bowling rankings at the age of 40 years and 207 days.

Quite remarkable

[justinr73]

He’s amazing.

Not far behind Warney now.

Was debating which games he’ll play in the summer on another forum.

Think I’d play him against Ireland and give him a break for the middle game in the Ashes in Leeds (where Leach got ten last year).

On their hand, he’s never done much at the Oval and the series could be over by then.

Jimmy with 3 for 13 off 5 overs….

Jimmy with 3 for 13 off 5 overs….

If he can pick up another couple, he'll be the oldest pace bowler to take a fivefer in the history of test cricket.

Bit tight at the moment….

Bugger.

[big mervyn]

Bugger.

Stayed up to the wee hours following that.

Really thought Jimmy was going to score the winning runs.

You can't say Stokes doesn't provide entertainment.

Why the hook shot with 7 runs required and exposing the absolute tail of leach and Jimmy A......who abso!utely did not deserve to be out in this position

[Bobbievee]

Put in this position
