After all the negative stuff to come out on the back of the hundred he got a £114,000 pay rise for being the “mastermind” of the new competition which is likely to take English cricket backwards

utter car crash batting from India in New Zealand on a real slow one, as if India thought there were a load of demons in the pitch that just didnt exist. Jamieson an interesting one on debut for the fruits

India losing an overseas test series may not be a bad thing for the Test table. Having said that, I would not fancy facing Jamierson who stands 6’8’’ tall ... I am assuming they raised the height of the sight screen behind him.

Just seen 2 of the best dives trying to regain their ground by the Indian womens team. Shame it was the same ball and they were at the same end and both trying to save their own skins after a mix up lol. First photo finish i can remember in cricket haha

watched some of the womens 2020 WC, Aus Vs Srilanka...... some of the batting ok, but fielding and catching worse than you would see in an under 15's game. stadium pretty empty too, how are these comp financed if even host games are low turnout?

And this is the argument for why they think they should be payed as much as the men

The men draw in huge crowds, in the men’s World Cup pretty much every game will be a sell out and the big games would sell out 3 or 4 times over

Then you look at the women’s game and see crowds under 1,000

I’m not against equality but they’ve got understand how much money the men bring in, in comparison to themselves

its 15 years since i stopped playing, but back then the Hertforshire league had 14 division and no womens teams i can remember, i think there were a couple of girls playing in the lower div, have things changed where are the competitions for women??

i have to assume all the money to pay for the England Womens teams comes via the ECB and the TV deal?

Nice to see kohli on a run of poor form

I think it will do him good.. he is a class act and I am sure he will bounce out of it. It was the poor 2014(?) England series that trigged his transformation.


Rest of the Indian crew - not so sure about. Soon the IPL will come around and all will be forgotten

I think he’s just overly media trained to come across how he does
