Can't wait for the 2020 ICC T20 World Cup

Australia will win by 0 runs.

Didn't realise there was test cricket today. England vs Ireland at Lords and England in all sorts of strife after winning the toss and choosing to bat. 42/4 after 12.3 overs. Must still be suffering from a CWC hangover.

EDIT: Make that 42/5

EDIT EDIT: 42/6. It's at times like this that I miss the old MyBB wtf emoji

Before I saw this score, I had been thinking that England are going to struggle in the Ashes.

They had a dismal warm up game against their own A team.

Well done Murtagh, lets hope Stirling score a big hundred.

Woakes to Andy Balbirnie, 1 run ... that's 50 for Andy

No worries - that's what I thought you meant. I knew they were playing their 'A' side. Just hadn't seen a score. Seems both teams are struggling with the transition or they're jaded from the protracted WC.

Are Ireland trying to bowl again today or what...?
