    Didn't Kev remark on how sad it was none of the Australian stars were playing in the Big Bash. Stirring the pot as usual

    Being Australian with a long stint in Yorkshire under his belt, 'Boof' has unequalled gobshite credentials so for Pietersen to wind him up simply by existing is pretty glorious.

    Boof has got plenty of ockers offside with his bizarre obsession with KP.

    Edit: Also KP is very popular down here ATM don't let any media shit say otherwise.

    Cracking game in the Big Bash. Sydney Sixers absolutely cruising their chase but have just shipped loads of wickets and Johan Botha has been sawn off on the third last ball with four still needed.

    Last ball hoiked in the air, drops safe and they run two. Super over

    Unbelievable bottle job from the Sixers. Think they needed like 38 off 36 with eight wickets in hand.

    T20 ahoy. When we started this subcontinental tour, Trump's campaign looked in tatters.

    I always fancy us in this format.

    He's got a broken hand but yeah you'd feel if Billings takes his chance could be the end of the road. Bet he regrets not going to the Desh.

    I suspect he knew exactly what he was doing not going to the Desh. Can't be arsed with Tests and there's easier money out there for someone with his skillset.

    Why would you play Rashid and not bowl him? Still, seems like a winning strategy.

    Rashid is good for buying wickets. Didn't need to here because we kept it tight AND kept taking wickets.

    Pitch is flat tbh, should chase whatever they get with ease.

    Dane Vilas was skulking around the country last year tapping people up for a kolpak deal, so much so that it triggered something on his holiday visa and he got kicked out of the country. I lolled.

    I also lolled at the Lancy people on twitter SEETHING about signing 42 year old Chanderpaul.

    I'm on it. Kohli was plumb in single figs as well before yet another bit of cheat home umpiring stepped in.

    We're just a better side than India in this format. This is where their patrician selection policy costs them a bit.

    Yeah I wanted to see a bit of Risbah Pant.

    Yuvraj plumb there. Pitch is turning which is the only scenario I don't see England chasing absolutely anything these days.

    Nothing worse than a joke decision and then L Siva arriving in the box.

    Oh no it's that tache bloke at the other end as well, spare us all. Why can't we fly out Nigel Llong and even it up.

    India has always had shit umpires. The ludicrous S Ravi the only one I can recall on the elite panel.

    Probably a mistake getting Yuvraj out. Was playing like a right twat.

    I think this is one of the slowest over rates ever from India. Full on conference between Kohli and Dhoni literally every ball. I make it 10.5 per hour with a spinner at one end.

    Second only to the joy of Tahir doing the same thing.

    Stokes is up there with Bell for bad starters against spin.

    Stoinis nearly pulled off one the all-time great thefts. It was one of the great ODI innings, and he was our best bowler in the bargain.

    They deserve to lose for continuing to think Shaun Marsh at three is an acceptable ODI selection.

    They deserve to lose for scheduling a pointless three match ODI series that literally nobody cares about.

    If a tour doesn't have a test series, it doesn't count.

    We're chasing again. Pant plays for indianteam, and opens up at least two more pun genres.

    lol at Sri Lanka, who get away with it because no one cares, but they are the most stinkingly corrupt set of cunts there is.

    Always cute how many suits they send to foreign tours. Absolute busloads of the wankers.

    I was hoping he'd either chuck it now or stay on and see through the trip to Oz.

    Is there any realistic candidate other than Root?

    Stokes would be great banter. The fines would be great.

    Can see Cook really start racking the runs up again actually. Captaincy never seemed right for him.

    Problem with having a bowler do it in this day and age is they will end up either getting injured or rotated out for rest and recuperation, which you can't really have as captain.

    Wonder who the vice will be, I'd possibly 'go Bairstow' as Nick Knight might say.
