If anybody's interested, Pakistan v India in the Asia Cup is on today. You can watch it free from 1.30pm on Yupp TV. 

They switched this year's Asia Cup to a t20 tournament so it should be good. 

Is that a permanent change or just because it's a World T20 year?

India wanted to scrap the league altogether under their previous chairman, but Manohar who is in charge now is a pragmatist so they agreed to be flexible with the Asia Cup - when it's played in a 50 over world cup year, it will be 50 overs - when in a 20 over world cup year, then 20 overs. Idea is to give the Asian teams some practice before the world cup. 

Given Pakistan's performance with the bat today, by God we need that practice. Mo Amir has bowled wonderfully though.

Defending Stokes on Sky Sports :lol:

That was incredible! 

To be fair that Big Boy Braithwaite was immense..and I did say to my auld Dad during the chit chat between Stokes and Morgan that England could quite easily grab defeat from the jaws of victory..Hope it brings Stokes and his MASSIVE EGO down a notch or 6..!!??...

IPL started on Saturday. AB and Kohli gave us a batting masterclass just there for RCB and wow @ Sarfraz Khan's little cameo innings at the end. Sunrisers will struggle to chase this.

On another note - buzzing for Pakistan's tour of England. Going down for a test match and a few ODIs plus the t20. Also in the early stages but trying to plan a holiday to Australia in December to take in Pakistan's tour of Aus. Would be amazing.

Pakistan aren't playing there but Sri Lanka are playing a test match there next month - don't remember precise dates but I'm sure it's the last week of May. 

Thanks, Would consider going down if there was a T20 but not to be.

They're only playing 1 t20 with Pakistan - it's in September and at Old Trafford. Got my tickets, should be a great day (if it doesn't rain!).

Should be a cracker that then. It is bound to rain its the cricket season

It is no overstatement to say Alastair Cook is England's greatest ever batsmen. He'll go down as one of the greatest batsmen in the game ever. To score the amount of runs he has and the number of hundreds he has is exceptional. Will be the youngest player ever to score 10,000 runs.

Need to get some sleep before work so hope England bat and he knocks off the 10,000 in the first hour.

I think guys like Sutcliffe, Hobbs and Barrington rank far above Alastair Cook.
