Darren Lehmann resigned yesterday as Australia coach with Steve Smith breaking down in tears during a news conference.

 

 

100 up for Jonny Bairstow! Test cricket at it's best.

David Warner was sidestepping questions about the involvement of others in the ball-tampering saga. Should have answered them in my view.

All Australian Cricket will be tainted now I think following the ball tampering saga.

Good to hear that David Warner has accepted his ban for ball tampering. None of the three will be appealing now.

Apparently according to Andrew Flintoff it is ridiculous that any three players knew about the Australian ball-tampering scandal.

At the end of the day we'll never know the full extent of it all. Let's just hope Australia can pick themselves up after this and get back to playing good (clean) cricket.

Ex-Australia vice-captain David Warner will resume his club career with Sydney side Randwick Petersham while serving a year-long ban for ball-tampering. He can still play at club level though.

 

 

Not great from England in losing their first Test in a home summer for the first time in 23 years. I would drop Broad.

Much better performance from England this time in the 2nd Test so far.

Could be all over in the second test possibly as Pakistan are 122-8 in their second innings needing 67 runs to bat again.

 

 

Fantastic win in Sunday for Scotland over England in their one-day international.

England have broken the world record score in a one day international. They scored 481-6. Australia have some bowlers injured and Trent Bridge is always a high scoring ground but this is still a big milestone,37 runs ahead of the previous record set by England in 2016 at the same ground. 500 looked on but Australia bowled well in the last five overs.

Magnificent achievement for England there wow.

That's a phenomenal score. Did someone tell the Australian fielders that only the bowler could handle the ball?

England have notched 38 centuries in 68 games since the 2015 World Cup

 

Amazing turnaround.

 

 

A remarkable century from Jos Buttler has given England their first series clean sweep over Australia in one-day internationals.

David Warner out for 1 on his return to competitive cricket.

 

Warner is bowled second ball by Lasith Malinga playing in the Global T20 in Canada.

Bangladesh have been bowled out for 43 in a test match against West Indies. This is the lowest test score since 1974 and equal tenth on the all time list of lowest scores.

Best wishes to Sir Geoffrey

 

Former England batsman Geoffrey Boycott is recovering at home after quadruple heart bypass surgery, his family have said.
