Don't think there's been anything from the Mitchwash either.

Or Stokes vs South Africa!

[Arthur Crabtree]

I'm about three hours+ behind at the moment, and trying to avoid updates. Stokes is 162 not out.

Maybe he went past Lara's record....

[Gingerfinch]

Laxman won. Just read on cricinfo that there was no Tendulkar innings.

One ground that's not on there is Blenheim Palace. A beautiful setting.

That's the one. Some beautiful countryside on the other side of the wicket.

Surprised nothing been written about Australia pathetic decision not to tour Bangladesh for the under 19 world cup would look really bad when everyone else goes, top of that loads of western players played the t20 league with far far less security.

Believe England and similar other nations are thinking the risk is their but the security arrangement is very good and the risk is the same wherever their go in the world.
Agree with that, Personally would only cancel a tour or games if the Government can't control police/military.
nothing like Pakistan where bomb and attacks are going on every few days.

in bangladesh the player are getting presidential security and top of that Bangladesh haven't had any issues since that attack last year.

Although it should be noted if England do decide to skip the world cup, the 2 test matches next year would be under doubt.

why ICC and vast majority of the nations are happy with the security.
If Australia wanted the world cup to be moved they should have lobbied it 2 or 3 months ago.
Too late now when the world cup starts this month.

The world cup would only be moved if ICC and vast majority of the nations agree to it, in this case very likely the asian bloc would veto the decision, PCB are already not happy with the way Australia handled the matter.

End of the day they would cancel loads of games in India and England right now.
England is currently a high risk target of a terror attack.
India likewise with their being some terror attack just recently and their been some threats from Pakistani terrorist.

Australia reason for cancelling the game makes no sense barring everyone else is happy with the security arrangements.

Anyone else read the Stanford interview? The bit about the beatings aside, it's laughable. Still protesting his innocence...

[Arthur Crabtree]

He says he has nothing but respect for the ECB, so still lacking in judgement.
