Starting this 2020 thread about cricket.

 

You can discuss all things related to cricket from internationals to domestics.

England opener Rory Burns has been ruled out of the tour of South Africa after damaging his left ankle playing football during practice.

 

The 29-year-old, England's top scorer in the first Test last week, sustained ligament damage and will return home.

England end the day on 218-4 and lead by 264 runs.

 

Sibley is not out on 85. England, despite those late wickets, in control.

South Africa bowled out for 248. England win the 2nd Test with just 8 overs left. That was a tense last day.

West Indies batsman Chris Gayle says he wants to carry on playing until he is 45 and he is available for selection for this year's Twenty20 World Cup.

 

The 40-year-old announced his retirement from one-day internationals in February but reversed his decision after the World Cup.

 

Gayle has not played an ODI since his 301st game for West Indies against India in August 2019.

Shane Warne has raised one million Australian dollars (£528,514) for the bushfire appeal after his "baggy green" Australia cap was sold at auction.

David Warner and Aaron Finch both struck unbeaten centuries as Australia hammered India by 10 wickets in the first one-day international in Mumbai.

 

Warner's unbeaten 128 and 110 not out from captain Finch took the tourists to their target of 256 with 78 balls to spare.

I don't think India would have lost many home matches as comprehensively as that.

England sealed their biggest away win in more than nine years in the third Test against South Africa to move 2-1 up with one match left in the series.

 

Needing four wickets on the fifth morning, the tourists bowled the Proteas out for 237 to seal victory by an innings and 53 runs.

England played really well to win that match by an innings even if the South African team seems to be in decline.

What a wonderfully obscure stat :lol:

Ben Stokes has been fined 15% of his match fee for an altercation with a spectator on day one of the fourth Test in South Africa.

South Africa have given England another lesson in how to do a batting collapse.

Great series by England, hopefully they can keep this up.

England were "way off the mark" in their heavy seven-wicket one-day international defeat by South Africa, said captain Eoin Morgan.

 

Quinton de Kock hit 107 and Temba Bavuma 98 as the hosts chased down England's 258-8 with 14 balls left.

 

The pair combined for a partnership of 173 and made the tourists' under-strength attack look toothless in their first ODI since winning the World Cup.

 

England's top order also failed, falling to 131-6 before Joe Denly's 87.

The Professional Cricketers' Association would support two overseas players per club in all formats from 2021 to allow Kolpak signings chances to continue playing county cricket.

 

Following Brexit, the England and Wales Cricket Board has advised counties that Kolpak registrations will be terminated at the end of the 2020 season.

 

The agreement is in line with the deal the UK secured with the European Union.

Jofra Archer will miss England's two-Test tour of Sri Lanka next month because of a low-grade stress fracture in his right elbow.

 

The fast bowler, 24, missed the last three Tests of England's 3-1 series win in South Africa and scans on Wednesday revealed the extent of the damage.

 

Archer will also miss the 2020 Indian Premier League season.

 

He will now aim to be fit for the English summer and the three-match Test series with West Indies in June.

England tie their ODI series with South Africa 1-1 and well done to Bangladesh causing an upset by winning the Under 19 World Cup.

Pakistan beat Bangladesh by an innings and 44 runs in Rawalpindi to take a 1-0 lead in their two-match series.

 

Bangladesh made 233 in their first innings and were then bowled out for 168 after the hosts made 445.
