The sixth worst Test score ever, including games from the 1800s - that's fairly embarrassing. Let's hope they can pick themselves up from this.

Disappointing that it is only 10 teams for next year if you look at other sports who have expanded the amount of teams in a World Cup.

They lost only one more wicket after that. Afghanistan qualify with the West Indies. Zimbabwe would have got the 2nd place but lost to UAE in their last match and Scotland might have got it as well but the rain came in their last match when they were 3 runs behind the Duckworth Lewis and they couldn't get back on.

I don't see how making it more difficult for the lesser nations to qualify helps to develop the game.

It's still will be the return of the Mack 4eva Joined: 1 February 2011 Posts: 53,639 User: 12,915	England have lost by an innings and 49 runs to New Zealand in the first Test at Auckland. A shame to hear about the blatant cheating from Australia with the ball tampering incident.

It's still will be the return of the Mack 4eva Joined: 1 February 2011 Posts: 53,639 User: 12,915	No action against Lehmann, been stated that only Smith, Warner and Bancroft were involved that doesn't sound consistent with what Smith admitted but looks like they are taking the fall.

BuzzJack Legend Joined: 13 April 2007 Posts: 36,654 User: 3,272	Apparently no action can be taken even if they did the same in the Ashes series. Any complaint has to be lodged within a day or two of the end of the match.

It's still will be the return of the Mack 4eva Joined: 1 February 2011 Posts: 53,639 User: 12,915	Steve Smith and David Warner have been banned for 12 months by Cricket Australia and Cameron Bancroft has been banned for nine months.
