Turns out this English Test team might not be quite as good as everyone thought. Some charitable Aussies have stuck around to get hammered one more time to cheer up the locals.
Ever wondered what it must be like being Andy Flower or Mickey Arthur? No, neither have we. But we guess someone out there must because the International Cricket Captain series is back again in a new instalment. We delve into the world of cricket management games and mostly like what we see.

Remember IPL 2012? The tournament that couldn’t slow down? Well it’s finally, mercifully, over. Rather than just letting it go quietly we got the 51allout crew together to give it a worthy send off.
