On this day six years ago, Ben Stokes scored an unbeaten 135(219) to hand England a one-wicket victory over Australia at Headingley, alongside Jack Leach’s vital 1(17).

SL women haven’t played since April. We have played only 5 odis in the last 12 month. There is a wc in a month and we and Bangladesh are the only teams that have no matches leading up to the wc.

People laugh at Bangladesh women playing and losing against their U15 boys team but they actually get good match practice. Meanwhile wtf is SLC doing ?

Why doesn't Jon Lewis ( who turns out isn't the Jon Lewis who's a mouth breather)

Simply tell the rockets that none of them are from Nottingham so in that logic every game is an away game, is he stupid?

If you were building a West Indies all time test 11, what four seamers would you pick from the pool of Hall, Croft, Roberts, Holding, Garner, Marshall, Ambrose and Walsh?

Me personally: Marshall, Ambrose, Holding, Walsh

u/CoolRisk5407 3h ago

I'd want a spinner in the xi too so maybe Garner instead of Walsh

u/AugustusCaesar00 ICC 3h ago

If we go by twitter news there’s a chance Toyota sponsors all of the big 3

Has any other company apart from Adidas done this?

u/SomewherePresent4970 Netherlands 1h ago

Cricket Australia sponsor is Westpac not Toyota

u/DisastrousOil4888 Royal Challengers Bengaluru 26m ago

I mean, Adidas didn’t sponsor all 3 at the same time either. I meant in general
