Did you never see Dennis Compton, red? Even Ted Drake turned out for Hampshire

Is that true about Ted Drake? Wow. Just googled and read the Cricinfo page. Never knew that. Or that he managed the Chavs to the only league they won instead of bought. Or that he married a girl he met at the gasworks dance. His bowling average was 42 - same as his goals in a season record.

Auba's scored 8 in 9 so far, I believe. Would be great if he could score a goal a game this season.

I like how Namibia dragged it out for 20 overs lol

Must’ve been torture for the Scots.

Meanwhile…Aussies win toss and batting 2nd…they know.

Yeah - getting a bit repetitive now. Hope we win the toss tomorrow

I think Joe Hulme was another one - and Leslie Compton of course. I believe Tony Adams was a decent player - can't remember where I read that though. Must have been one of last allowed to play a bit before GG banned it

Actually - this is a good piece on the subject

True. gpwm. Apparently we were even established as a cricket team before the soccerball took over.

Auba struggles to get his feet moving early on in his innings

Cruel on the Afghanistanians there. Showed there Taliban fighting instincts for 38 straight overs.

Parkies needed 24 off the final two…Asif Ali smashes 4 sixes. Brutal.

They’ll be plenty of tears in Tower Hamlets tonight.

So the only anomaly so far was the West Indies but I don’t think they know how they won…Bangladesh blew it. Plain and simple.

Normally service resumed

Pakistan bat 2nd and win vs Afghanistan
South Africa bat 2nd and win vs Sri Lanka
And now England have decided to bat 2nd vs Australia o:
