Great, exciting cricket so far this series. Hopefully it’ll continue through the summer.

Only two proper games to go sadly before we lose August to the Hundred abomination.

Hell of a way to lose your last wicket in test match

Windies v Australia has been an odd series. Aussies two nil up but the batting from both sides has been flaky as hell. Aussies have problems in the batting ahead of the Ashes. I don’t think either side has scored more than 300 in any innings. West Indies need 193 to win the third test and are currently…11-6. Mitchell Starc’s figures are currently three overs, two maidens, six runs and five wickets. I’m nit sure I’ve ever seen a test side as good with the ball but utterly hapless with the bat as this West Indies one.

All three matches have gone to the evening session of day five. This is heading towards being one of my favourite series during my time alive. Cricketing theatre.

It’s not been a great advert for four day test matches.

A subject which I always frown upon when I hear it mentioned.

26/8.

Make that 26/9. Hat trick for Scott Boland. 26 is the lowest ever test match innings score. They may equal it

Four first ballers too.

27/10

27 all out. Abysmal. Starc took three wickets in the first over of the innings. Then the Boland hat trick.
