Yesterday saw thrills, spills, and poorly conceived bets that the Zimbabwean total would not pass 80 runs. While we wait for that unfortunate gambler to pay up, we get ready for the entertainment day four will hopefully provide.
The English season may have finally submitted to the sweet, sweet release of death, but the international winter is about to go out into the big wide world. And, as with all newborns, it’s going to spend the first few weeks making a terrible mess of everything in sight.
As T20 series go, this one was a bit like being repeatedly punched in the face by someone you didn’t even really like in the first place.
England and South Africa are going head to head yet again. We can barely contain our excitement.
We didn’t enjoy the fifth ODI all that much.
England triumphed in one of the great rubbish ODI’s to ensure they could not lose the series and would remain in the exceptionally uncoveted number one spot for the remainder of the year.
For the first time all summer South Africa looked genuinely out of sorts, being bowled out for a sub par total that England were able to chase down relatively easily, despite a slight wobble towards the end. The home side reclaim top spot in the rankings, although they neglected to freeze Hashm Amla in carbonite.
England gave up their rather inexplicable number one ranking with little more than a whimper at the Rose Bowl.
That’s right, more ODIs!!! The fixture list is just the gift that keeps on giving.
Yep, we finally done one of them there podcast things.
