Who says you have to have a slam bang game of cricket to be a great game.

 

The Women's World Cup final at Lords between England and surprise finalist India was great, nerve racking, as England defended 228 to win by nine runs.

completely rearranged my bodyclock for this series. last few weeks of teaching are going to be hard. worth it.

predicted AUS 3-2 at the outset. If Stokes comes back then it's evenly-matched. Our middle order would be better, but their bowling is better. The top 4 are sort of the same in some respects:

#1 matchwinning left-handed batsman who looks and talks and plays like an opponents' caricature of what a person from that country would be like
#2 watchful, proven quantity in the English ga
me but yet to establish themselves in the national team
#3 look absolutely brilliant in the nets, textbook form and can slaughter a middling attack, but will die trying to prove a point and thus far found out by decent or unconventional attacks
#4 best batsman and captain, can go big, can dig in, both sort of shit at bowling spin, look too young to be doing what they're doing

Alistair Cook with the double hundred in the Fourth Ashes Test, still not out.

Cook's fifth double century. Before today he was the ninth top Test scorer of all time, he's now sixth with this innings. Cook's played since the match started, 10 1/2 hours. Amazing.

so, the Big Bash League starts up again soon, was hoping we'd see games on NBC sports again. doesn't look like it.

They apparently are as I'm watching a BBL match before the NHL pregame show right now.
