    "Ah Brian Lara, second best batsman the world's ever seen."

    He bit, "Second best ? So who was the best ?"

    "Geoffrey Boycott"

    He nearly crashed his mini-bus.
    The taxi driver sent me this photo and said it was you sinkov...

    He said something about the "King of Clitheroe!"

    Why couldn’t Vince bat like this when he played for England?

    Yet another Aussie disaster - well maybe

    England have broken their own world record after smashing an incredible 481 for six against Australia in the third one-day international at Trent Bridge.
    Centuries for Jonny Bairstow 139 and Alex Hales 147, plus a 21-ball half-century from Eoin Morgan – another record – helped them beat the 444 for three they made at the same venue against Pakistan two years ago.
    England thrashed 41 fours and 21 sixes, with Tye going for 100 from nine overs, and Stoining leaking 81 from eight.

    Aussie 172-4 from 24 overs

    196-7 after 28.3 all Top 7 batters gone so looks like a crushing defeat for the sledgers.

    That defeat against Scotland seems to have done us good!
    To be honest though, we have been well on top in this series against a poor Aussie team

    Yes it did something for England and not for Scotland as they lost to Pakistan twice.
    You can watch all 21 sixes on this clip

    I'm looking to place a bet on England to be the first ODI team to score 500 but I can't find anywhere to place the bet. Sinkov?
