IPL auction

Indian Vaibhav Suryavanshi, 13, became the youngest player signed in an IPL auction after being selected by Rajasthan Royals, weeks on from smashing a 58-ball hundred for India U19s against Australia U19s in an unofficial Test in Chennai

I watched for about 90 minutes last night and the way the Kiwis were bowling I genuinely thought we would be skittled
Pleasant surprise when I woke up this morning and saw the scorecard

My mate is over there - was sat next to some of the England lads having breakfast on Wednesday. Loves the atmosphere out there.

Stokes on 78, would be a pity if he doesn’t make a ton from here.

In my opinion, as good a player ever to represent England.

(In his home town!)

It's on my bucket list, Kiwi's unlike most Aussies are not tacos so I epect it would be amazing

Top player when fit.

Bazball reminds me of Ange ball, always entertaining matches and never know what you're going to get - can beat anyone on their day but also some poor defeats, consistently inconsistent. Do love the way we look to entertain though.....
