In the 3 Tests going on right now, Bangladesh is the first Asian team to lose at home. Can India and Pakistan do the same and make it a trifecta?

The way both those matches are going, it seems very plausible.

I was having a think about what a British and Irish Lions Test team might look like, assuming that such a team had to represent all of the home nations:

Dom Sibley

Paul Stirling

Calum MacLeod

Joe Root

Ben Stokes

Phil Salt

Ben Foakes

Jack Leach

Stuart Broad

Josh Little

James Anderson

Probably not the best eleven I could have thrown together but it'll do. I decided to pick two Irish players seeing that they're a Test nation, but I wasn't exactly sure how to pick players of a kind that England don't have. I guess the other option would be Dockrell or someone as a spinner and then have a seamer in who's actually quick

Oh, the temptation...

I have a very simple question, which is probably not-so-simple; why are there hardly any specialist fast-bowling captains in Cricket?

Is it because the two jobs are too daunting to juggle at the same time, or what?

Interesting...

Any changes to the funding model in the sport would create vigorous debate and raise various concerns

TIL that Shane Warne kept wickets in a Test once and, and, and....without gloves at that!

Not surprising given that most cricket fans would be familiar with that name

T20 leagues are called the circus of cricket, but the actual circus is the IPL auction.
By the way, does anyone miss the old auctioneer?

The captain has to decide who bowls, so a bowling captain might bowl himself too much, instead of deciding "neutrally".

This is one funny video. (At least the background track makes it).

The throw at 1:51.

P.S - Not an attempt to troll just enjoy it if you want to have a good laugh. Its Hilarious.
