    New kit announced. Traditional cream and cable knit sweater for the Test team (hoorah), not sure about the T20 kit (modelled by Morgan) though which is rank!

    I like the T20 one but not the ODI fade to pink.
  • Just bought my ticket for the Day 3 of the Sydney test in January - only $30 for my ticket because the seat isn't in the shade so I'm going to burn!

    Gary Wilson's Barmy Army!!!

    Love Gaz. Don't want anyone to get runs against England but if someone has to I'd like Gaz to get a few, just to make a game of it! :)

    Unless it's a WC final or the clinching match in an Ashes series, I usually want some sort of contest, especially if I've paid good money to go and watch!

    Doesn't seem like we're going to be chasing much.

    Rashid's googlys seem to be going well!

    If Rash bowls like this in the Champions trophy he will be class! unplayable! Root can do the back up spinner role.

    Joke match. Can we play a proper team like Afghanistan next time?

    Willey's length and Rashid's googlies give England a formidable package.

    Willey's length and Rashid's googlies give England a formidable package.

    Willey, Wood, Ball, Root

    England deciding that innuendo is the key to success

    You have a point but watching this Rashid is bowling the best I've ever seen him. His googly and other variations are almost unplayable.

    Sooner or later a commentator is going to immortalise himself with that kind of material. We just need a member of the Holding family to break through into the West Indian team.

    I think these games are seen as more of a warm up for the South Africa games which are a warm up for the Champions trophy!

    Although looking at it, this Ireland side would be beaten 9 times out of 10 by all the county sides playing today....
