Amazing over . . . but that last ball is one of the worst umpiring decisions you're ever going to see.

The problem that Pat Cummins has is that it's pretty much impossible for a fast bowler not to know that the condition of the ball has fundamentally changed.
He knew, they all knew.
Never thought I'd become a Surrey fan, but here we are.
Up the Surrey! (Or whatever it is they say down there)

There’s lots of talk around Patterson-White now, and it’s always interesting to hear about new players and he seems promising. Bat what happened to that other left armer who could bat a bit? Didn’t he get a 7-fer or something? Feels like cheese dream now… #spinners
A weird way to get there, but happy with this squad.
England have named 15-man Test squad for the South Africa tour
- Bashir dropped, Notts SLA Liam
Patterson-White in
- Bethell back, top 3 undecided
- Cook over Fisher
- Tongue fit, but missing first Test for birth of second child
- SCurran not considered as getting married

I've seen a lot of criticism of Khawaja. It seems very convenient to some to put the attention on him rather than the truth of what he said.

The weird thing about it is how this was all so very obvious to anyone who has ever played a game of cricket. Especially bowlers. You inspect the ball all the time. Stare at it, every delivery. Australia would have been better served just owning up at the time.
Australia used sandpaper to tamper with the ball in a Test match before the infamous Cape Town scandal in 2018, Usman Khawaja is to reveal.

Seen a bit of Joe Clarke chat re him playing in the APL.
At the trial, at the minimum he was shown to be a misogynist who had no respect for women
That was a long time ago. People change. Yet, his participation shows that perhaps he never did grow up and become a better person.

Making it so these two play each other at every ICC event is corruption I can get behind. Just need Pakistan to be more competitive.
A Test series in England would be magical.
There have been nearly 8.4 million requests for tickets for the group stage match between India and Pakistan at next year's ICC Men's Cricket World Cup.
The rivals face each other on 10 October at Johannesburg's Wanderers stadium, which holds just 34,000 spectators.

I am biased, as I'm a purist.
But if I'm being honest, I have little idea how good Kagiso Rabada is in white ball games.
I know exactly how good he is with the red ball. Always have, always will. I still think it matters so much more for legacy.
He is one of the greatest.

Is there an image in sport that immediately gives you so much subtext. A cricket fan could tell you so much from this still. Even if it's just Green's lack of enthusiasm as the non-striker.

Even if it's from the depths of Isengard, Australia will find elite cricketers. It is their way.
Australian cricket is in decline because they can't find suitable young replacements for their ageing players
We are very fortunate that in South Africa there are plenty of young players creating competition for places.
Long may that continue
