Unsurprisingly my batting let me down even more than my bowling.

In fairness to a lot of these, T20 is an unknown quantity, so may take a game or two

If only I could, the whole XI from Cape Town got banned in this universeMiddle order was light on runs, have to recall big Shaun Marsh for that experience

2nd Test Day 1, Australian Tour of UAE 2018
Trailing 1-0 (2 Match Series)
Travis Head was brought into the team for Peter Handscomb - making his test debut, Head slots in at 5 while Labuschagne moved up to 3.
Was looking good at 3/170, then fell apart very quickly. Need to strike quickly in the morning.

2nd Test Adelaide - Eng lead the series 1-0
England took to the field knowing that they had all but thwarted Australia’s attempts to level the series. 254 in around 50 overs would surely be a stretch too far, especially given the fact that playing in an aggressive manner would give England the chance to pick up 10 wickets and that certainly couldn’t happen! Going 2 down in the series would make regaining the Ashes nigh on impossible.
So, stick, or twist?
It was England who drew first blood, Shane Watson clean bowled by Stuart Board for 11. The Adelaide Oval left with hands on heads as he held the key to the much needed fast start.
Australian captain Ricky Ponting joined Simon Katich at the crease and the pair began to build a steady partnership. Each of them passed 50 and any hopes the Barmy Army may have had were dashed.
With just over 100 runs required, but time running out, England finally broke the partnership. Broad again with the wicket and it was Katich who had to go - a well made 67.
At 142 for 2 and Michael Clarke making his way to the crease, Australia were actually in a position to go for the win, but what followed in the next few overs meant those dreams were short lived.
‘Pitched up, nips away… Ponting is gone! And it’s Jimmy Anderson who has him!’ Off stump out the ground and the Aussie skipper had to depart for 73. 142 for 2 became 147 for 3.
‘Just short of a length from Finn and Clarke is on to it quickly, pulling away down to fine leg, but he hasn’t got all of it and Jonathan Trott takes the catch!’
4 down now and 3 wickets had fallen for just 14. 4/156
Australia’s mainstays from the 1st innings were reunited in the middle, and it was clear that both Hussey and North had conceded that the win was now out of reach. The pair batted sensibly for the last 50 minutes or so, both finishing on 18 not out. Match Drawn.
England remain 1 up in the series with 3 to play and it’s off to The WACA next. England will be hoping that a pacey wicket will help them take more than 9 wickets in the match!

2nd Test Day 2, Australian Tour of UAE 2018
Trailing 1-0 (2 Match Series)
Another brilliant display with the ball and Australia are in a dominant position heading into day 3.
Fawad and Jonny Holland brilliant again, before Finch went all guns blazing in the final session to put Pakistan massively behind the game.
Looking good to level the series.

2nd Test Day 3, Australian Tour of UAE 2018
Trailing 1-0 (2 Match Series)
A brilliant hundred from Australian captain Cameron White has seen his side gallop into a dominant position on day 3.
A frustrating day for Pakistan with even night watchmen Jon Holland putting up a score of 32 (117) to tire out the Pakistani attack.
Cameron White was the mainstay, with every Australian batsmen (except poor Marnus) getting at least a start, and taking Australia to 383 in front by the end of days play.
Australia will look to push on to an unassailable lead before declaring and having plenty of overs to knock over the Pakistani's.

The Ashes
1st Test, Day 1, Edgbaston
(Playing as Australia)
It was a stunning, sunlit morning at Edgbaston when England won the toss and opted to bat first. The opening session saw a promising start for the hosts, despite early setbacks. Crawley, Root, and Duckett were all sent back to the pavilion, with Cummins delivering a brilliant inswinger that shattered the stumps and claimed Duckett’s wicket. At the close of the first session, England were 81-3, with Brook and Pope fighting hard to steady the ship.
The second session began with England looking to rebuild, but it was Lyon who turned the tide with a sensational over, claiming both Pope and Brook in quick succession. England found themselves in trouble at 112-5, but once again, it was the ever-reliable Ben Stokes who rose to the occasion. Partnered with Bairstow, the two men put together a resilient 127-run partnership. Just as England seemed to be gaining the upper hand, Stokes was dismissed in the third session. Marsh delivered a well-disguised slower bouncer that sent Stokes packing, breaking the partnership and handing Australia a crucial breakthrough.
At the close of play, Bairstow remained unbeaten on 89, still holding the fort for England with solid support from the tailenders. The hosts will look to him to guide them past the 300-run mark as they try to recover from a challenging day.
