In ODI's Livingstone has a bit of a golden arm, maybe they are hoping he could transfer that into the test arena

Going to be tough, no one produces proper pitches anymore, the last few county games I saw the wickets got flatter with no turn. Harmer at Essex has been probably the best spinner in county game and he's a Safa.

Windies out of the World Cup!

Awful in all 3 games really

 

[Seedy Ron]

But surprising they're not a top 8 side to begin with.

Been overtaken by countries like Afghanistan, etc in the white ball format

Undoubtedly the best spinner in the County game. Looked like he was going to play for England at one point as well, think that would have transformed the side the last 2 or 3 years. We’ve not had a spinner worthy of the name since Swann really.

Good start by the Kiwi's

But he looked bang average against England in the summer.

Yea he did, only played one game though(?), could be a number of reasons for that performance. Don’t think any spinner looked particularly good vs England this summer with the aggression against them.

Exactly this

He has some insane record highlighted to me the other day, something like 50 five wicket hauls and 12 ten wicket hauls in 180 matches, thats ridiculous

Did anyone watch India v Pakistan? Fantastic game! Can’t stand Kholi but he is a fantastic batsmen….

Tuned in to watch SA v Zim and it's raining, what a surprise, reminded me of many April matches in England wrapped up cuddling my thermos flask.

It's 7 hours minimum of play and the occasion though
Football can be £100 for 90 minutes

Cricket has always been better value than football, my county membership was only £108 when I stopped going 5 years ago.

England are in danger here of losing to Ireland !!

 

[Gazza Dazzla]

Rain delay, I reckon that’s shallot! England really poor in the first 10 overs of both innings.
