Boss... never doubt the skills of our cricketers !!!
We walloped the Lankans from that little island, the same way that we wallop the Aussies every time...
And, the Kiwis are next !!!!
Yeah well no thanks to you though, now am not overtly superstitious or anything , BUT, match was going all fine , 5 wickets down, 6 rpo req., when suddenly you state you're watching it too and its 7 down 12 req. rpo :P Took all of my telekinesis skills to gently guide the Pathan bros to a win
About the Aussies though, they'v won their 4th ODI against NZ, 2 all the score is now, next match at Brisbane is going to be an exciting one to watch

Give or take an hour on the times or a day here and there on the test dates, but thats about it.
We are 5 points behind leaders SA and NZ is 5 points behind us in ODI ratings btw, its a good opportunity for both teams to jump up in rankings. In Tests too we can move to second, being 3 or so points behind SA and NZ would be probably desperate to do well in Tests, considering they are pretty much at the bottom of rankings just above B-desh.
Never mind the rankings anyway, IIRC the Champions Trophy is also this year, innit? Lets see how that one goes.

England are doing well on the Fourth Day of the Third Test against the West Indies.
1st Innings England: 566-9 declared
West Indies: 285
2nd Innings England: 221-8 declared
West Indies: 12-0
West Indies require another 491 runs to win.
The West Indies lead the Series 1-0. The Second Test was abandoned after the terrible state of the pitch at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua, so the Series has been extended to 5 matches.
In the First Test, England were all out for a pitiful 51 in the Second Innings and lost by an innings and 23 runs. So they have redeemed themselves.
