Somerset canter home with an over to spare in the T20 final😎

I see the West Indies have just lost a T20 series to Nepal, they are 2-0 down in a three match series.

The Windies have a mountain to climb if they're ever going to be competitive again.

Quite a fall from the days of the blackwash to being all out for 27 in a recent test innings against Australia and losing to Nepal.

Demolition job on SA by England today at the Women's World Cup.

I turned it on expecting to idle my afternoon away, but that's not going to happen.

The only downside is that England don't get much time at the crease.

Nice to see Harmanpreet Kaur batting without a helmet in the India v Pakistan World Cup match today.

The WWC is slowly getting to the pointy end of things, dramatic finish yesterday as the Bangles entered the last over vs SriL needing 9 to win, only 4 wickets down and prompted lost 4 wickets in 4 balls to lose by 7. Nerves!!!

SriL India NZ fighting out the last Semi final spot, with Eng Aus & Sa thru with a couple of games to spare.

Woeful Wednesday for English cricket. The men were hammered before breakfast and now the women are on a hiding from a team they have previously been thrashing.

yes instead of setting themselves up for another crack at the Aussies, they have given this away. lost control with last 5-10 overs bowling and then promptly gave up 3 wickets in 7 balls....

India making a much better fist of chasing a huge total than England did yesterday.
This match could go either way.

 

[Blazing Saddles]

Wow. What a chase.
I didn’t see that coming.

 

[Bonefish Blues]

Both teams had centurions. Oh England, your nemesis is out but you're not there

 

[Tashman]

Superb game, made for great listening in the last 15 overs. Can't decide who is favourite for Sunday right now

The one who 'turns up', as they say, will win. Either could score heavily, either could collapse. Sport's a rascal

Less than 3 weeks to the Ashes! Some light in the dark of impending gloom!
