I didn't really mean the test matches, I mean the ODI's & T20's they had leading into the test series

Pakistan both the ODI & T20 series they had, can't imagine that was great for WI cricket which has been struggling to bring in the crowds for a little while now. Still, they wouldn't have had their big players anyway, I guess, until they sort out all these contract disputes

I saw so sad to hear that, as a Surrey fan, it's a big blow

Still, I'm sure that he's making the decision that's best for him & I wish him all the best

And England are playing Ireland in a couple of ODIs

[starryeyesxx]

Watching it now, I was hoping Ireland would put up a bit more of a fight.....maybe they'll be better in the 2nd ODI

west indies vs pakistan on at the moment

West indies are doing nothing to promote exciting cricket in that part of the world by scoring at less than 2 and a half runs an over for a full day's play (90 overs)

[starryeyesxx]

Yeah, I think I'll give that one a miss....

Thanks for the pics.

The thing is, that match turned into a bit of a thriller with west indies fighting it out on the last day for a draw

They almost got that result too, they were 6 balls from staving off defeat

[starryeyesxx]

Ooh, that does sound exciting! WI must have been devasted though....

[stlavin95]

Yeah I bet they were.

England not starting so good today
