Why does CSA always make the Bangladesh fixtures in the worst venues. No Wanderers , no Newlands ? They quite decent recently so Bangladesh deserve more respect , plus with the amount of Bangali Nationals living here doubt it would be difficult to fill up the grounds

I would have gone to watch a game if it was at a normal venue.

heck if there was one at Willowmore, one at Wanderers, and one at Supersport park I would have gone to watch all 3.

Because the main venues have been reserved for india and aus this seasons. You can't play all the cricket at the main venues, need to spread it around.

So with that loss, there goes the Windies chance at automatic qualification for CWC2019. They needed to beat England 5 - 0 (or 4 - 0 with one game a N/R) to leapfrog Sri Lanka into 8th place. They'll now have to play a series of qualifiers against associate sides to gain entry.

“To ensure we do not disappoint our loyal fans over the traditional Boxing Day period and to take advantage of our brand-new lights at St George’s Park, we will host Zimbabwe in the first ever 4-day D/N Test match to be played. The Test status of the match is subject to ICC approval.

Can't wait to see the new lights at St Georges Park in action!

Perhaps but the T20GL will actually be my first opportunity to appreciate the new lights

Nice! 5 day test is 90 over per day, will 4 day test be 110 over per day?

Is our cricket team that bad at the mo?

An awesome year end for cricket fans that'll continue until March

4-day D/N Test match

These muppets can't just invent things. 4 days is not a test match.

IND 252 (50.0 Ovs)

AUS 202-all out (43.1 Ovs)

India won by 50 runs


Oh dear, seems Australia are not having a good time of late.

Kuldeep Yadav scores a hattrick , only the 3rd Indian to do so in an ODI. The last was Kapil Dev in 1991.

 

[Creag]

Miserable Aussies cannot be relied on to chase a gettable total

 

[DanDango]

These muppets can't just invent things. 4 days is not a test match.

5 days at 80 overs = 400 overs.
4 days at 110 overs = 440 overs and light is not a factor.

 

[bwana]

5 days at 80 overs = 400 overs.
4 days at 110 overs = 440 overs and light is not a factor.

I think they both work on six hours of play per day.

Another embarrassing loss for Aus. Good.
