Aus struggling against the kiwi attack again.
Justc came to post that too. Warner taking them to the cleaners. 3 centuries in 3 innings.I suppose it simply reinforces the level of achievement of away wins.
In England related news I see that there's been a change of heart from those at the top of English cricket. England players will be allowed to go to the IPL and 1-day cricket will be a bit more of a focus.
Good to see that players won't be accused of being selfish, greedy, looking after number 1 and sacked from the team in the future.

Didn't a few try a while back but receive no bids?!I think we'll struggle to get anyone into a team over there tbh, with a couple of exceptions.

Can't help wondering how the tables might be turned with a Duke ball in early summer conditions in England.

I thought that too much playing on homogenised "home ground" pitches was one of causes of teams struggling to win overseas : does England have any fast, bouncy pitches like eg the WACA?I suppose it simply reinforces the level of achievement of away wins.

I'd honestly love to see Aus vs NZ on English pitches with a ball giving much more to the likes of Boult et all. Different game.

It certainly doesn't have the climatic conditions to match Perth (Aus).

Me too, why they don't use the Dukes ball all around the world I don't know. Would improve the game a lot I think.I'd honestly love to see Aus vs NZ on English pitches with a ball giving much more to the likes of Boult et all. Different game.
I'd like to see David Warner smashing Boult et al on a green seamer and proper cricket ball.
